  1. A suggestion, if you have more examples of those items you find of interest, it's time to "pull the trigger" and get them out there.

    If you own any of these replicas, how about a comparison of that replica to what was advertised on the box art. How did it or did not, hold up to the  promise of the packaging.

    I believe this is a learning process. I myself have to get off my butt and learn how to put pictures of my collection on line here as well (I'm really really old and dont have these skills yet-lol).

  2. I'm on the fence with this but it's looking like I might find room for it. Reapers Airsoft had a detailed video on it and it was pretty good. I think their biggest issue was the "squeaky barrel noise" when racking the slide. I believe they had a fix for it.

  3. Has TM fixed any of the issues that caused problems with them when they first came out? The slide rails on both of mine broke away from the frames. I had to reinforce the hop-up chambers with tape when the inner barrel started to twist in the hop-up chambers, my slide release wouldnt hold the slide open after I removed the empty magazine to add a full one and my magazines started leaking so I retired them both of mine. I only shot them with duster as well!

    It was a shame as I really liked those Five sevenN pistols. They lasted about a year.

  4. I figure that sooner or later a metal slide comes around for the TM. I'm concerned about the Cybergun magazines not being well made (broken base plates) and I've heard the double action trigger is atrocious.

    Should probably just stay with my Hi-capa.

     

  5. Nice set up Delta_Night. Unfortunately for us in the USA, we have to deal with all the white lettering about trademarks and "this is not a toy" permanently engraved on the Umarex HK45 slide. It's the only thing keeping me from buying one.

    I had the same issue with the PPQ. However, I broke down and refinished one of the slides and it came out really well. Had to lightly sand and steel wool and then glass bead blast, prime and apply 2 coats of satin black paint. What a PITA.

    I dont think I have the skills to match the paint on the HK.
