NonEx Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I figured these deserve their own news topic. Seems like fairly fresh products. I ran into it by accident when shopping for their new GEN2 WE M&P tactical outer barrels. Comes in a variety of flavours as per: http://ace1arms.com/category.php?id=2 I got myself a Glock 19 SAI RMR Tier 1 kit in the mail today. Really impressed right out of the box. Very nice product! I don't have a gun to install it on, yet, lol. Coming in this week. I have an unboxing and initial impressions video coming out later tonight. Really looking forward to installing this bad boy!

uscmCorps Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Didn't the A1A slide sets have a lot of sloppy fitting issues? Link to post Share on other sites
Wynthorpe Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I got my RB1 Tier1 on Friday, it's beautifully made and fits superbly. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Didn't the A1A slide sets have a lot of sloppy fitting issues? Original run were horrendous, yes. From what I can gather, they have picked up their game with the new releases. They needed to seeing as there's competition from GM and Prime. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Didn't the A1A slide sets have a lot of sloppy fitting issues? Their original batch of Glock slides were, yes. But since the WE M&P SAI slide kits their quality and standards have gone WAY up! I would not hessitate to recommend these kits! Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I got my RB1 Tier1 on Friday, it's beautifully made and fits superbly. Did you fill in those trades yourself ? EDIT: I guess not from the pics at A1As website. Not sure why my Glock 19 kit came without painted trades... ? Why are some models white traded and others not. Is that accurate to RS SAI ? EDIT: Sloppy double post by me. My bad! :| Link to post Share on other sites
Wynthorpe Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 *suitcasey* WE gen4 lower, got a OCT in order and also bought a HK3P from AG to see what they like. Next up is but a G19 and the Costa slide. Link to post Share on other sites
Wynthorpe Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Yeah some RS are not white, they are same colour as the slide. Link to post Share on other sites

NonEx Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Jesus *fruitcage*... 120 USD for a HK GEN4 trademarked frame with stippling Link to post Share on other sites
kagami Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 It's good to hear that the quality has gone up, I heard (and saw myself) some finishing issues on their first rmr g17 kits. would you rate them up near the gunsmodify in terms of overall quality? Link to post Share on other sites
Genome Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 So the general consensus is that Ace 1 Arms is now better with these releases? I plan on getting their G17 RMR cut slide. Link to post Share on other sites
Wynthorpe Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 @nonex, yeah it works out about £75 delivered, price is different than on website if you speak to them via email, considering a HK frame will cost me about £40 I don't think paying a little extra is all bad for something I'm not sure I can do well enough to look how I want.

NonEx Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Here is my unboxing and initial impressions video of the Ace 1 Arms Glock 19 SAI Tier 1 RMR slide kit (for WE): Maybe went a little long for an unboxing video? Link to post Share on other sites
Wynthorpe Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Good in depth video there. Your concerns about the nozzle may well be well founded, there is a video on their FB page of BB's just falling out of the end of the barrel, the guy messaged me to ask if it was happening to me, but im using the G17 so obviously drop in fit with standard nozzle etc. Link to post Share on other sites
icolater Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Wow looks great. Was trying to ignore these because of my current projects and the amount of money need to finish them. But my god they look great. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Looks like my host gun is coming in this week hopefully unless customs wanna mess with me Will upload more videos once I build the thing Link to post Share on other sites
Wynthorpe Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I've just bought a soldering iron and dremel, expect to see a poor stippling job by the weekend on the WE lower. Link to post Share on other sites
Dj_komodo Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 good luck and remember, take your time with the preparation. Don't take the easy way, sand down all the ruff edges and lines. take short brakes while you stippling and don't stipple patterns like straight lines. If you're uncertain, test stippling on a grip, rail cover or something that you don't use. I'm gonna start to sand down my we g19 tan lower tomorrow while I'm waiting for my traded we g23... and, oh yeah, use eye protection when you use the dremel, small polymer bits in your eyes is no fun...

Thanks mate, ive been watching a few good videos on YT, My hands arent the steadiest so its the outline im most worried about, the prep work im looking forward to (strange i know). Ive bought a few different grades of sand paper drums and also sheets, What im not sure of is if to sand down the finger slots on the front of the grip. Link to post Share on other sites

NonEx Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Hrmmm... Not sure how much I like A1A as a company anymore. Had problems with one of the RMR hex screws included in the kit. Emailed their support, was asked to supply pictures. Sent them a link to a video where I detailed the issue. One of the screws have bad threads, won't go in. Then they stopped responding to my emails. I have sent a couple of questions before, always got a response within 24 hours. So, if that is how they deal with a defect screw, what happens when you get problems with something else? Not cool. I have sent them a slightly upset email just now. Link to post Share on other sites
