Apharmd Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Hi guys, it's another silly question from me. I managed to get a Mafioso Arms Hardballer kit and laser from Airsoft Global. Took a while since they had to replace the kit, but it came in the end. I'm looking at working on the build for the end of this year, but I'm not sure what 1911 to use for a donor gun. I was thinking of using the Nickel Colt MK4 Series 70 from Marui, since the kit it supposed to be Marui compatible. Would this work okay, or is there a 1911 that would work better?

heroshark Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 but would look better with stainless controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apharmd Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 Sorry, should have clarified. The kit I got was the version without the external controls, which was why I was considering the Nickel model. This is the one: Airsoft Global Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apharmd Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 I saw your project pics, nice work on the slide. I have an old NBB version too, but the laser grip doesn't fit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
