Building a Hardballer, Need Advice.

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?

but would look better with stainless controls.

ok depends which kit OP has as one of them comes with all external controls

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

you could strip and polish 1911A1 controls but for time sake yeah go with the Series 70 Nickel

Thanks, was going in that direction tbh.

 

This should be fun, I haven't done anything like this before.

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.
