Chek Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Hi all I've just recently got into airsoft, mainly by chance.... I used to have a couple of BB guns as a kid before airsoft became massive. Over the years I collected a few blank firers and PFC model guns. More of a collector than anything else. Recently a friend of a friend was moving to Australia and I inherited a couple of his airsoft collection which he couldn't sell before his departure (kind of looking after them for him). He knew I had an interest in them. Due to the current situation, I've not been able to go skirmishing but a bit of info from experienced airsofters would be appreciated. I thought about modifying the look while I'm sat at home. Currently I have a Lonex M4 AEG and a WA para ordinance 1911 (GBB) The M4 has no charging handle but looks as though it should? And I'm thinking of replacing the slide on the 1911 for metal. It feels and sounds a bit cheap and flimsy Thanks in advance! Happy to upload some pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Hi and Welcome There's plenty of information on this forum so best thing to do first is reading the sticky threads. Its great you have some toys ready to start playing when its allowed. I imagine you should be able to find a replacement charging handle if its missing but it won't affect the performance. Changing to a metal slide may cause problems with the pistol cycling. Someone here will probably be able to give more info for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cr0-Magnon Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Hi and welcome. All I will add is may be better to keep the WA stock for two reasons: 1) They're quite collectable in original condition 2) Plastic slides cycle far better in cooler weather than metal ones.
