What the! Ive been trying to source this for ages! So much infact, I was beginning to just resign to buy an Italian clone of the real thing...
-
I did read through the thread and I understand that that piece is susceptible to breaking, even after the "revisions" that have been supposedly made in the newer models. . If I remember correctly, someone's PX4 started to have jams further down the road because the outer barrel chipped away at the contact point so much that the slide no longer pushed it back, so he used a WE thread adapter to serve as as contact point at the front, but I don't really fancy that. I suppose Ill just see how far the gun takes me; it was really meant as a backup/loan gun anyways, but if yours is still holdin

Excuse me for the rather late reply, but I wanted to check up on the PX4s of other owners. Within a mag or two of shots the little piece on the slide where the outer barrel slams into inevitably snapped off. Trying to JBweld it back, I found that the epoxy was not strong enough, and it disappoints me to see how soft of a metal the outer barrel is, considering the rest of the gun is rather nice for the price. So my question is...how are the pistols fairing with this piece of slide missing/about how long is the life span of the outer barrel granted it wears quite fast as the slide return

Anyone know where I can find a real S&W M19 Trigger? = v=;

It's discontinued by S&W so the only parts left are what's still left out there. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SMITH-WESSON-TRIGGER-MODEL-19-10-15-/110977486053?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19d6c60ce5

Army's R29 Colt Gold Cup VS. TM Based HurricanE Kimber TEII
The Icon replied to hwagan's topic in Pistols (Gas)
Hmm, so please excuse me for the double post, but I thought I should mention something. After fiddling with the gun countless of times, I tried to love it even with some of the faults that it had from the previously mentioned leaky magazines to the slide/chamber fitment issue. Nevertheless, with a word of warning I think its best to tell others to look for something different if they were eying this gun. My slide cracked. Mine may have been a lemon or a victim of some careless shipment handling (as the store I ordered from, Asia Airsoft did not even package it with a box, but rathe -

The magazine gas efficiency issue is fixed a bit - the gun now shoots a mag full plus a little more than half with the simple mod of wrapping teflon tape around the seals. Before it was leaking but I didn't noticed until it got worse. -

So baited by Hwagan's review, I recently bought one of these as a loaner gun for forcing introducing my lady into airsoft, seeing as the ergonomics of a 1911 are quite easy to get accustomed to. After a long wait of about 2 weeks, my gun finally came, and while I was impressed with the finish, metal, and recoil, there were a few problems that needed to be addressed right off the bat. Firstly, there was the problem with the mag not being able to slide in correctly, as many have mentioned. This really isn't problem so much as an inconvenience, but I thought I might mention it regardless; eas -
Judgeman, what is that beautiful Schofield you have there!?!?

An M605, how delicious. I was thinking of building one as I have a soft spot for vintage AR variants. How did you cut the barrel down and re-thread it? On another note, a little update on my M733: I had gotten my hands on some paracord and decided to play around with it. Added a front grip similar to those MAC-10 straps; it works fairly well if you put your fingers through the loop and pull back while holding the hand guard, sort of like an magpul AVG.

...My heavy support weapon ... Just a bare bones TM M733 that I kind of want to turn into a m231 if I could find the elusive M633 DOE type hand guard...of course the A1 upper and lower will have to follow.

Tanaka Biohazard Magnum (a splice of Raging Bull and M29 I think...) Picked up in a trade just recently

Please excuse me.

Ah! A Digicon Straight!...been wanting one for a while...but alas, quite elusive... And yes, it is indeed a fountain pen; I have a sort of fancy for them as writing becomes more of a joy than a chore... Anyways, I recently bought a holster for my Bisley. Though meant for a 1861 Navy Colt, the SAA fits fine in it with a cut where the holster holds the trigger guard.
-
As the others say, you can easily bore out the outlet a bit, especially if its restricted like how the outlet was on my Bisley. I took a dremel and widened the hole till it was "normal" sized. The outlet is conical but the added restricting material is flat; you could just dremel it off until you hit where the cone stops. Added about 70-80ish fps for the 7.5 inch Bisley.

Just but another SAA...
-
Hmm...I'm not too sure how the trigger assembly is rocking about - that might be just due to the stock been worn down like you said, but when I got my gun I *fixed* the receiver movement by putting a piece of cardboard at the front of the stock where it meets the collar. Crude, but it stopped the receiver movement at least...
-
Yea, I figured since theres no other way, tape it was. Perfectly fine now
-
Screw Tightening? Im not too sure which ones you mean unless Im not looking in the right place XD. I mean the WHOLE upper assembly moves, it seems the stock has a little tolerance for the whole assembly
