Now that is a very nice TRP 'mimesis', many thanks for sharing.
-
Changed the front sight, the original ProG4 one is too low, the gun is shooting high even at the maximum compensation that rear sight can adjust to....
That is gorgeous!!!
Loving the photography 'RacingManiac'.

Nice Warrior. ARMY version me thinks?
Well the result is magic....awesome work!
Thanks 'RacingManiac'

What frame is that for the LDC Baer?
Its a total custom build 'RacingManiac'.
Made from a TM MEU frame and a front dust cover from a spare TM Desert Warrior I had lying around. I pinned and glued the two sections together, filled the chin cuts on the standard TM 5.1 slide and cut forward serrations aswell. So far after 6 months of infrequent use (so many pistols and not enough time to use them) its still rocking!
Ive now built five Les Baer's. Premier II, Thunder Ranch Special, The Boss, Custom Carry and now the Monolith.

Thanks 'Jimmypie' for the compliment.
Yeah, like you, im not a fan of the '2011 brigade' myself but some of the designs within this thread deserve a nod of appreciation from time to time for the work and love thats gone into them. For your first build im impressed.
Sounds to me like you have caught the customizing bug if you already have another one on the go lol.
Good luck my friend and when its finished we want to see the evidence

Now that's what I call a very nice selection 'hitmanNo2'
You certainly do have a thing for 'bling'.All WA's apart from the DE?
I like black myself...Monolith black
-
Maybe consider the TK Grip for Hi-Capa? They have that Pachmayr look to them...and they also have round trigger guard.
Yeah ive got a set of those grips (good grips BTW) but they have to have the squared trigger guard as then it matches the film version. Thanks for the thought though 'RacingManiac'.
My workhorse. Shame the thumb safety broke off...
Now thats what I like to see. Not a 'safe queen' to quote RS parlence but a workhorse. Battered but unbeaten, nice one 'Zmarre'.

Another fantastic Gun maniac, you'll never be able to give up 1911's
Nope never..... confirmed addict

Thanks guys
The compensator is the front half of a 5.1 slide with a 5.1 /MEU night warrior hybrid barrel glued and pinned into it. The front of the comp has a muzzle made from a section of 4.3 barrel again glued and pinned. The guide rod is a custom made one, with the plug sleeved with a small section of copper pipe so the rod doesn't rattle around. The hardest part was getting it all to line up and not have the slide front hit the back of the comp. The slide has also had custom serrations added along with external extractors (fake obviously).
Eventually I want to get the correct 'Pachmayr' style grips fitted, or custom make the standard ones to look like them.

Beautiful guns you have there 'RacingManiac' simply beautiful
Well here's my now rebuilt and refurbished replica of the Federal Ordnance PSP-07 pistol as used by Steven Segal in his film 'Marked for Death'.
Based on the TM 5.1 but with no aftermarket kits, just totally custom built.

Loving that collection Clockwork_O.

By the way, can anyone tell me whether the WA 1911 recoil spring plugs fit the marui slide and recoil spring and bushing? I'm asking this because I want to use the flat faced recoil spring guide so as to imitate the real SIS but for TM based 1911s no airsoft brand makes the particular recoil spring plug style that I want. WA makes them (and have it on their version of the Kimber SIS) so if the WA plug fits I'll scour the airsoft shops for a spare WA recoil spring plug.
Ive used WAs guide rods and springs before now and they fitted fine in TM 1911 pistols (My Wilson KZ-9 still has its one fitted!) but why dont you just grind down the checkered face of the standard 1911a1 plug till its smooth then 'key' it with sandpaper for a coat of paint? I did this with my custom made AMT Hardballer 6 inch I did a while back. Check it out on my YouTube page link in my signature

Is that Tanio Koba part essentially the same as the Airsoft Surgeon slide guide, or does this have a different function?
http://www.airsoftglobal.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=634_239&products_id=14295
Yes its identical in function to the TK slide spacer.
Ok great. but is the Hi capas BBU the same as the MEUs? because i only have an MEU and its BBU to fit the hi capa slide.
The MEU BBH is different to the Hi-capas but will fit the Hi-capa slide OK. Actually the MEU BBH is a universal type and will fit all of the TM 1911 style pistols.
Hope that helps guys
P.S: Hurricane kits are usually a drop fit but like all things you will on occasion get 'rogue' ones that fall the through the QA net. Ive installed a Hurricane Desert Warrior kit to a friends MEU and it was a pleasure to do, with no jams or malfunctions but you must lap the slide by racking it for a good while to bed it in and get a smooth cycle action.
The jamming barrel you speak of 'intenirious' is more than likley due to the lugs and mortices locking up. Not suficient depth allowed in the moulding of the Lugs and also poor fit to hop unit so barrel is forced into a non-alignment with slide mortices, it would seem to me.

Kimber Warrior
-TM 1911 MEU
-PGC Kimber Warrior Kit
-VZ Grips Operator II
-Streamlight TLR-1
The kimber was pre-built/ upgraded by EAC
Very nice Kimber Warrior you have there.
-
ahh i see. thanks. Where exactly does that bit go, i cant figure it out just by looking at it, is it to adapt the BBU?
-brendan
The Tanio Koba slide spacer goes just inside the left side of the metal inner frame of the TM MEU.
You can get away with not using one like I have and it still functions fine but the slide rises up slightly when the slide lock lever actuates. I may get one fitted eventually as using higher power gas and over a long time this will cause damage I suspect.
The only problem with the SD slide is the length, as it allows the outer barrel to protrude just a tad to much from the end of the slide muzzle. SD have based their dimensions on the older TM Hi-capa's who's slides are shorter by about 1.5mm than the TM MEU.

My latest project a Kimber Custom II using a Shooters Design slide with sights, bushing and plug fitted to a TM MEU. Additional items fitted are Nova furniture, TM Strike Warrior beavertail, TM 4.3 hammer, SPD extended guide rod, TM Marpat grips sprayed black, Nineball hop rubber, PDI 6.01mm inner barrel and TK MSH.

No I doubt it, as the dust cover on the Detonics is shorter but you could adapt it to fit I would think.
That is one beautiful NH 'uscmCorp'.

Anyone with the new long TM mags know if it is possible to fit the MEU style wilson combat bumpers to the bottom of the long mags.
No you cannot fit the Dytac Wilson Combat bumpers as TM have fitted thin metal pads to the bases of the new long mags...why? Plus they are pinned not screwed bases, which means maintenance is a pain as the more you fiddle with the pins the more likely they are to leak! I purchased the black version but now wish I had the chrome version, as the spring follower sticks due to the black matt paint. In cold weather they do have a problem firing all the BBs (cooled one down in my fridge to test) but if you only fill them to where the BB channel opens out then all are fired with ease on a single gas fill.
I would say that there maybe a full auto single stack 1911 on the way from TM going by the release of these mags.

Yourself i am assuming?
Must have to get Photoshop working again
'FireKnife'
Yes its my ugly mug im afraid
I did this in Paintshop as I just cannot seem to get on with Photoshop

More me showing off than Artistic but still. I prefer B&W, take focus away from the colours and more towards the shape and shot.
'FireKnife'
Reminds me of my background pic on my YouTube channel

Best start saving. That one was not cheap lol.
Yes they can be a costly item but Mike builds them well
So many nice 1911s to want but so little money to hand...damn!

SocomGear are supposed to fit upgraded valves and springs to WE pistols but ive yet to work on one that has.
Glad to see though they are swapping to KJW. Totally TM compatible as 'RacingManiac' says. Pity their Les Baer isnt based on a REAL Les Baer varient, Ultimate recon?? They should have called it the 'Custom Carry' then it would have been right. Mind you its nice to see an airsoft Les Baer at all!
