  1. That's quite cool. I have seen a large number of 2011's but I'm not sure that I have ever seen one quite like that. Nicely done.
  2. That's beautiful. One of these days I'll get around to making my M29 metal. As far as the hop-up goes, I believe that my M29, which is the middle version (the super old school have no flow resticter and a large gas opening. Mine has a large gas opening but was then retrofitted with a brass flow restricter so it only shoots 330-350) did have a simple hop-up mech that was adjustable via an allen key. I'm not sure if the newer models are the same way though since they may have made changes when they de-rated the gas system even further. Hows the power of the newest versions? When you fitt
  3. I'm excited to see the pictures. The g-spec barrel was my very first thought when I saw this. If you have a chance to run the finished product on a chrono it would be great to see the results of that too.
  4. Thanks for the review. I'm happy to see that these actually have a functional amount of power. While I'm not planning on buying any guns soon this may have to go on my long term list.
  5. Very cute. How many rounds do the 3.9 mags hold?
  6. Dang, someone else finally found another PGC G18 slide. I was hoping that mine was the only one that would ever turn up. I guess that I still have an edge with the Gen. 2 frame though. Anyway, that looks lovely, where did you find it?
  7. I have to echo others statements and point out that high end GBB's tend to have to "venting" system while cheap clones have the silent fill system. The spewing gas is a plus because you know when your mag is full. With a silent fill valve you just have to guess. The spewing also allows you to purge all the gas out and fit as much liquid into your mag as possible. To be honest, your experience sounds more like an empty gas can than anything else. As far as gas consumption goes, I easily get a full mag with a heavy steel slide and 150%+ recoil spring even when the temperature is as lo
  8. I haven't done a whole lot in airsoft recently (due to school) but I do have pictures of a race Glock frame that RSP helped my put together toward the end of the summer. It wasn't my intention to have the grip cut as short as it was (I really just wanted the base plate of the mag to extend below the magwell) but it's current configuration is surprisingly comfortable. I just use the magwell as a pinkie rest which helps tighten up my grip and makes it more natural to use the thumb rest (something that I'm not used to). The gun itself is just a stock G17 that I
  9. I've blown a rocket valve before in my KSC G17. I think that Vicious even managed to blow up some aftermarket ones (though I forget which). The stock part certainly won't last forever though.
  10. Those are interesting. They look way smaller than the stock grips though. How does it feel when you hold the gun?
  11. Dang, so much for my WA STI 6" Hybrid being unique. the4th - do you do WA fitting work too? I have found that it's nigh impossible to get a 6" slide fit rattle free (using conventional methods) since the frame rails are so short. However, I seem to remember that you could reshape TM rails to get a super tight slide fit. Can you do this on a WA 6" as well? Also, did you rebuild the trigger on this to lighten it up? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on super light, short WA triggers vs TM ones.
  12. Very nice. I've always liked that gun. Have you done any other home brewed tweak in addition to the piston head spacer?
  13. I've wondered about Maruzen P99's for a while now and I finally got the opportunity to pick one up in a trade (thanks WatZ). This one has been upgraded a bit. Sadly, I don't get to actually try it out for a while (darn college) but I'm glad to have it. The Goods... Where they live...

  14. After a some parts swapping I think that I have the base of my Magna WA 6" Hybrid. I still need to clean up the outer barrel and add I few internal upgrades but I think that the look is pretty final (I also swaped in silver grip screws after I took the pictures). It took quite a while to find the parts that I wanted for this. I don't believe that WA makes a gun stock that has a non-railed 6" LDC frame and a hybrid upper. I think that non-railed 6" LDC's are the only way to go and I had my heart set on a hybrid and I love the effect. Bits: WA Magna 6" Hybr
  15. I finally got a bit of time to finish swapping things around with my WA SVI project. This is the first gun that I did. It's for sale now but I wish I could keep it. Aside from the PGC metal slide this is just built up from various stock WA parts.

    Very nice $1k Desert Eagle. It's rare to see one upgraded that much. Do you have a parts list for it? _________________ And since people have been breaking out the pistols...

  17. For a perfect KSC Glock the only way to go is an Old School frame. The Pro Arms are ok but their trades are no better than stock TM. I actually have my KSC Glock 18C with an old school frame up for sale right now (haven't been pushing it hard but I am trying to find a new home for it). The only place to get the OS frames is the used market though so be prepared to do some searching to find one. The other cool thing about KSC's is that you can throw a few more RS parts on them (some sights, mag catch, etc.).
  18. I see what you meant. I have actually decided to swap the uppers so once I swap the controls I'll post up pictures of what it looks like.
  19. I'm a bit confused by your question. If you mean can you put a magna Hybrid upper on an magna Xcellerator lower the answer is yes. That's actually what is on the pictures. However, if you are wondering about whether magna and non-magna uppers and lowers can be mixed then I'm not sure how to answer the question. I have also swapped uppers between my two 6" magna's and that has worked fine as well.
  20. I guess that when it rains 6" Magna WA's it pours. I really wanted a hybrid in the first place so when this one came up for sale I had to have it. I'm going to keep swapping parts around from both my 6" WA's until I have my dream gun. I'll make sure to take pictures along the way. If anyone knows what make the slide is let me know.

  21. That's a really cool project. Thanks for posting up all the nice pictures.
  22. I have been after a WA 6" Magna Hybrid for quite some time. I have owned a magna WA before but I ended up trading it for another gun when I found that it didn't shoot any better than my Hi-Capa's (people had raved about their performance and gotten me really excited). However, lately I have decided that it would be nice to have a Magna WA in my long term collection and I have always wanted a Hybrid 6". However, my first Hy6 deal fell through and thecleaner was nice enough to hook my up with this 6" Ltd as part of a trade deal. I actually have a Hy6 coming soon as well (long story) but I figure
  23. It's been a long time since I took good pictures of my Limcat and since I just added a few more finishing touches I thought that this would bea good time to take some new ones. I was out shooting this the other day and without a doubt this out shoots any other gun that I have. On the 6m range I was able to group 10 shots in one ragged hole (and I could see through the optic that it was my fault that the group wasn't tighter since I wasn't perfectly still). At 20m I was able to hit a 8in x 8in target time after time without much effort. This guns makes me feel like I'm the weak link when i
  24. Very nice. There just are not enough working well used Magnas around here. How does the Sheriff LRB do for you?
  25. I like the look of your set-up with the SERPA. That's pretty much how I would want to set up a 1911 if I had one.
