cav. Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Im having the same issues.. Think it must be the hammer. I reinstalled everything and it was fine, went back to the UAC hammer and it was fine so assumed it was installation problems, after about 20 mags it's happening again.. Not sure what's happening but I will be investigating with UAC. What I did notice when I installed UAC hammer the first time, is that it cannot rotate properly at a certain angle. It would bite onto the rode and have a lot of friction against it and it seems to get stuck near the sear. I'd take a picture, but Im too lazy to take apart the gun again . So Ill just illustrate for you 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

uscmCorps Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Every time I hear people having issues with the Detonator slide set it increases my trepidation over buying one. But it sounds like most of the issues have been due to the use of the UAC parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 It's definitely not the detonator slide. Issue occurs with both the Nova slide and the stock Marui slide. Cav - interesting discovery I'll take a look at mine and have a play around. Have you considered making modifications to see if you can make them work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cav - interesting discovery I'll take a look at mine and have a play around. Have you considered making modifications to see if you can make them work? Well I thought about it. But most of my "modications" end up having me buy new parts uscmCorps - No its not the slide. You can find video on YT of some fellow installing a 10-8. No problems as he had stock internals. It definitely is the UAC hammer! Edited March 24, 2015 by cav. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) I'm talking to UAC about it now.. hopefully I'll sort something.. at least theyre aware of it! Edited March 24, 2015 by DeltaZero Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think its a fitment issue. Probably need some sanding here and there But at the same time, the hammer does work with stock slide! The BBU does sit slightly lower in the front a bit as it doesnt fully level up like the rear, so the BBU is slightly slanted Edited March 24, 2015 by cav. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Doesn't work with the stock slide for me! or Nova slide. I reckon a fraction of a mm off the top of the hammer could well do the trick but I don't want to risk the parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

viking252200 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 While impatiently waiting for a trigger to come out , I decided to see if i could lighten the trigger pull a wee bit... I paid a visit to my local arms dealer and returned home with laylax's M&P 9 hammer spring set. In said package you get two main springs, one for summer and one for winter, but more importantly, a softer sear spring. Replacing the sear spring took only around 10 min and the result was just great! The trigger pull is now quite a bit lighter and really smooth and racking the slide is also much smoother All in all a highly recommended upgrade! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted April 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Interesting. I've still made no headway with the UAC Hammer parts, seems to be quite unreliable works on and off. Not had a chance to reinstall the stock parts yet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DeltaZero Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) UAC Trigger has now been released. I've got two ordered, still not had a chance to play around with the hammer parts though! Just waiting for their lightweight BBU and Aluminium nozzle to be released!

aznriptide859 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 So I've blown my slide off my frame on GG twice at a game now; guess it's time to invest in a metal slide. Between Nova and Detonator, which company has the more drop-in slide upgrade? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Between Nova and Detonator, which company has the more drop-in slide upgrade? My friend picked up the detonator 10-8 slide, was a drop-in fit, no problems. Minor filling if you want super ultra slick, otherwise AFIAK he didn't do any. @Cav Edited May 1, 2015 by BioRage 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Sweet, I'll put that on my next WGC order. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I have both Detonator and Nova.. I'd say Detonator was the best "drop in" fit but the Nova is pretty slick too after a couple hundred cycles. Finish wise there isn't much in them either. Just go with whatever slide suits your fancy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Which one would you say is better quality? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 The pros and cons I see of either manufacturer based purely on online pics: • Detonator seems to have a more realistic finish. The anodizing looks more satin and shiny like the RS' QPQ/Melonite finish. Nova's seems more matte. • Detonator includes an internally reinforced slide lock section that won't wear out. • Nova includes front and rear sights. Detonator includes no sights. • Detonator is almost double the cost of the Nova. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BioRage Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Also don't forgot your slide will get all scratched up and *suitcase* from gaming eventually, aswell as Kydex + Metal slides = no bueno. I would go with the cheaper one and grab a threaded barrel But you could support Korea with going detonator, personal preference. Delta got a good deal for $100 on the nova when they messed up the pricing, Also nova has a 10-8 slide.. http://www.asiaairsoft.com/index_eproduct_view.php?products_id=7005 Edited May 1, 2015 by BioRage 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I believe they both make the 10-8 slide now, I saw Detonator had it on UNCo for $240. But the scratching brings up a good point, since I draw it out of my Kydex often. I might settle for Nova for the time being. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) My Detonator hasn't been bad at all with kydex so far. Been using it for a few months now quite regularly.. Not gone through to the metal just made the finish a bit shinier.. My kydex isnt overly tight though! Edited May 1, 2015 by DeltaZero Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thatguy404 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Liking that detonator sai slide... 210 dollars isn't awful either. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
