Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted November 2, 2019 Supporters Share Posted November 2, 2019 Barrel/bucking i'm running a pdi 6.01 with a maple leaf autobot green and i key, that'll sling whatever you want to put in it. Pdi's w hop bucking is also pretty decent but will struggle at real heavy ammo. Cant say about outer barrels, mine came threaded but i never run a suppressor anyway. The tk grip is pretty nice although maybe not as flared as you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Yukarin Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 http://www.eliteshootingcentre.co.uk/ Bloke who runs the above website is very knowledgeable on hi-capas, and prefers to be contacted by email for sales so he can advise you on your options. His prices aren't bad at all too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you got the TM DOR then you will be quite restricted in what you can get as it based on a new system introduced with the TM M45A1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milk__ Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 Yeah im pretty sure it is, but from what ive read so far a new inner and outer barrel is all it is, apparently the two are tied together so you need to replace both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just speak with Mike let him know what one want to do and what you have he prefers people ask to avoid ordering the wrong thing. He has been very helpful when i have spoken to him.

Milk__ Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 Im not sure what non dropping means. Messaged him about the Tanio Koba One Touch Silencer Adaptor as Im not sure if that means I need a threaded inner, as it says "they are designed to cut their own thread" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted November 2, 2019 Supporters Share Posted November 2, 2019 The 1911 has a barrel that tilts down to unlock, many airsoft pistols including the default hicapa also do this to replicate the look. However on an airsoft gun it does nothing but add a bit of friction and wobble so the ones optimised for better shooting have barrels that are fixed (like yours does) Its better for a suppressor, hanging a weight on the end of the barrel that the action has to swing up can screw up its effeciency (this also happens on real guns, the eponymous mk23 socom has a special spring loaded suppressor for exactly this reason) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milk__ Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 Im a bit confused as to what you are referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 IF you look in the ejection port as you move the slide back you will notice the barrel drops a few mill. This is the replication of the lockup he is talking about. The muzzle obviously rises at the same time. AIrsoft guns are straight blowback so this locking feature is for cosmetic purposes only.

Im new in this area, so im clueless haha, apologies On most airsoft pistols the barrel rocks up and down as in the video above purely to replicate the functionality and look of a real pistol, your Gold Match does not. As a result you get better accuracy but you are then limited on choice for replacement barrels due to the way they are mounted. Speak to Mike at ESC and he'll sort you out.
