Not going to buy any more pews...

 

DAMIT!

I really like the Barry Burton style M9 pistol but its too expensive so I found a cheapo version...

The HFC HG193 from the shop that shall not me named.  (Was on offer for £99.99 and its the new all metal version. Note the hole in the hammer)

It took some tinkering with the internals. (The hop rubber wasn't seated properly and a bit of the slide benefited from some filing)

When I got it the fps was 260 but after my tinkering its up to 300fps

It now shoots really well (for a cheapo gun) (It does have adjustable hop with a grub screw)

The compensator unit is easy to remove with one screw underneath but still holds well with no wobble as it slides onto the rails of the frame underneath.

So its easy to convert into a 92X Performance model. (Have to ignore the stupid engraving tho)

 

After my usual treatment of a new pew 😉

I also added some extra weight to the front.  Its now a nice hefty 1.14Kg

I bought a clone 1-6x Vortex Razor. I compared it directly to my RS 1-8x Strike Eagle.

 

I haven’t seen how it holds zero yet, but eye relief, glass clarity and zoom at 6x are very similar.

 

Ignore any milkyness, it’s light getting in the back of the scopes whilst trying to snap a picture.

 

First reticle/glass is the Strike Eagle

So after completely forgetting about this pistol for about 10 years after longing for it for ages: I was Googling WA SVI’s, trying to find a price for mine to sell at an airsoft boot sale last weekend, and went down a small rabbit hole of other WA pistols - setting off multiple old memories of pre VCRA days.

 

Then at said boot sale, a van pulls up directly opposite me and what do you think they have…

 

WA Colt Delta Elite.

 

I think it was a sign that I had to buy it.

About £100 worth of L119A1 parts:

- Flash hider

- Stock pad

- Barrel extension

Oh and an LA-5 style battery box!

Looking forward to them arriving as the build continues to take shape :D

Looks awesome pal. Perfectly timed for GBBR season too 👌

Just went to chrono it and a fly buzzed through the chrono aperture 🤣

 

Hopping .2 on green gas.

I believe the Umarex/VFC is fitted with an NPAS as standard in Europe, so I might break down this beauty and see if we can't tweak that fps a little. 

Then again I may just leave it for now and see how she performs out of the box. 

It's a joy to shoot in my barn range, with a very satisfying recoil. 

Itching to take it out on the field.

What's the trick to loading the mags, because OMFG these are some fiddly little bitches to get BBs into!

A speedloader held at a 45 degree angle is as good as I got with my VFC 416.  I bought a 3D printed adapter off eBay that maybe helps a tiny bit

Ordered this tail switch, this bit holder and this bit holder from AliExpress.

 

The smaller one goes into my kit as a complement to my leatherman (along with a few selected 6mm bits), the larger one goes into my field toolbox.

 

Tail switch will go on my repro m600p because I like the option to have both permanent and momentary on functions.

 

Now, onto some tracers..
