  1. Is fitting a Guarder kit on a TM 1911 really THAT bad?

    1. hwagan

      hwagan

      See I've got an ABS Strike Warrior for winter use, so gas efficiency isn't a huge concern - I'm aware it'll suffer a fair bit with the metal kit, but I've got 2 strike warriors and the National Match kit is awfully tempting..

       

      Any ideas as to what/where usually needs filing and fettling? I'm assuming slide rails and the like?

    2. tinydata

      tinydata

      Yeah, that's basically it. A few seconds with a steel file did the trick for me. I think it's whatever coating (and its very nice) that Guarder applied that adds a little extra thickness.

       

      You could also have the magwell milled out to accept CO2 mags

    3. hwagan

      That sounds alright to me - I'd heard horror stories of nothing fitting from a few years ago, but all I can find recently is the kits are almost a drop in. Good to know, cheers man.

  2. is going to take apart his KA M4 tonight and make it perform like a G&P. Or break it. Pray for me, people.

      Break break break ..I mean bastardise it!

      Blood sacrifice

      is always an option :)

      I AM WINNING! The M120 is quick, but lacks the torque the KA box needs. However, the KA motor has the torque, but doesn't like the MOE grip. So now, it's back to standard motor and grip, and is quicker now it's adjusted. Still, i've ordered some 11.1 lipos. That'll teach it.

  3. Is the ridiculously overpriced Nineball REALLY the only option for a 1911 threaded barrel?

    1. aznriptide859

      aznriptide859

      PDI makes an adapter, but it basically just grub screws into the inner barrel.

    2. hwagan

      hwagan

      Inner barrel or outer? Considering a TM plastic barrel and the TK self cutting thread adaptor... Any ideas if that'll work?

  4. Is there any confirmed use of the LMT MRP in 5.56 being used by anyone other than the fekkin' BTP?

    1. Habakure

      Habakure

      Am sure there's a few pictures of BTP using the HK53 as well.

    2. Skarclaw

      Skarclaw

      If you do do a BTP loadout be sure to put a massive scope on the top of it. Eat only M&S simply food sandwiches for lunch, washed down with AMT coffee

      Winning, though I always have my 1911s to keep me safe at night and to shoot targets with.

  6. Just got Wolf's newsletter; Apparently, they have the TM Mp7 in sock. Guess it'll help with cooldown?

    1. FireKnife

      FireKnife

      Teehee, so much innuendo potential for that one :P

  7. Just picked 450 blaster 0.2's out of 3000 AimTop .3's. Note to self; Be more careful when emptying speedloader.

    1. hitmanNo2

      hitmanNo2

      Got an image of testing them one by one on some scales ha ha

      Dude... You're using AIM .3's? I would've thought you'd be going with Blaster Devils or something.

    3. hwagan

      hwagan

      Ha, thankfully there's a slight colour difference! And Oli, i would be but i was worried i'd run out on Sunday so i bought a bag - Actually perfect in my PX4, no noticeable difference!

  8. Just received my Hicapa from Mike Cripps. Only one word; Fap.

    1. hwagan

      hwagan

      Placed the order on Wednesday, asked for the card to be charged Thursday as it was Payday, gun delivered Friday. So from a pile of bits and a bone stock Hicapa to a pimptastic race gun in less than 3 days.

    2. FireKnife

      FireKnife

      So good aren't they? :P

    3. ryangolfvr6

      ryangolfvr6

      You had the race gun? Im looking at the tm 1911 meu with the gaurder trp kit fitted in crome. Might pay the extra for the tight bore and metal outer barrel

  9. just received my Well SR-2. It's actually a £500 VSR in disguise, for £390 cheaper. Literally astonished.

    1. hwagan

      hwagan

      Seriously, a 5 minute clean of the barrel and removing the velocity reducer, i'm hitting the same yard thick tree 9 times out of 10 at about 70 meters... It's frikkin' amazing!

  10. Just replaced the wiring assembly i broke in my MRP... Isn't there supposed to be mechanical wear after 100,000 rounds?

  11. just saw an old issue of AI for sale on LWA; "How to upgrade a G&P XM177". Clearly, AI have no idea about anything to do with Airsoft.

    1. danielsilva

      Hmm what about girls with guns porn ?

    2. FireKnife

      FireKnife

      Doesn't work for me. Either girls OR guns, that is it. The two together just takes away focus from the other and doesn't work.

    3. Seraphim989

      Seraphim989

      I agree! What is it with all sorts of things thinking adding girls makes them better? A girl that's naked except for realtree gaiters isn't hot, just annoying

  12. Just saw Taken 2. Liam Neeson is not to be *fruitcage*ed with, he can fire real bullets out of an ASG Co2 CZ75.

    1. renegadecow

      renegadecow

      Maybe that commie activist who shot the Czech president thought he was Liam Neeson.

    2. Avenger96

      Avenger96

      Didn't we already know that Liam Neeson was not to be fruitcaged with?

    3. FireKnife

      FireKnife

      Yes, yes we did.

       

      Still don't try it anyway, he may look old but he will take you on ;)

  13. Kimber TEII arrives on Christmas Eve. Mike Cripps is definitely Santa.

  14. KJW M9 Vertec; Anyone know if it takes the same tightbore as the TM?

    1. hwagan

      hwagan

      I'm fairly certain, i'd just like to get some first hand confirmation before i drop the £28!

    2. FireKnife

      FireKnife

      Must be some info on the net as to this.

    3. hwagan

      hwagan

      There probably is, but google doesn't immediately bring it up, and i thought i may as well use my status for something useful rather than random brain-junk.

  15. KWA MEGA ARMS LM4. END OF SUMMER. PTS SAID SO ON FACEBOOK. DYING HERE.

    1. FireKnife

      FireKnife

      Well as it turns out I am not a fan of the two-tone look (tried it on my Detonics), I just want it for those 80's moments and to match my comedy loadout :P.

  16. Kydex insert to hold 3 AR mags in a JPC's kangaroo pouch; Does such a thing exist?

    1. k30dxedle

      k30dxedle

      I can't remember how JPC kangaroo pouches are structured - do they have built-in dividers? If so, I think frogfish has come up with a way to rig up Esstac KYWIs. Otherwise take a look at the Ferro FC-M4-KTS, it looks narrow enough.

    2. hwagan

      hwagan

      They do have built in dividers, but it's only the TMC job so I'm happy enough cutting them out. That looks pretty much spot on man, cheers for the tip!

  17. LandWarrior have just quoted bloodhound gang lyrics in response to a comment on their facebook. BEST. RETAILER. EVER.

      BOMBER MRP. BOMBER MRP! AN MRP THAT IS GAS AND MADE BY BOMBER AND FULL OF BITS OF STEEL AND IS AN MRP AND IS FULL OF STEEL BITS AND IS A GBB AND IS AN MRP! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm a bit happy.

      Someone get that man some tissues, in fact get him stocks in kleenex!

  19. Made an order from Z1 yesterday. RM were late, called, pleasant chap gave me tracking number, order received complete and pristine.. Cautiously optimistic.

    1. Reppyboyo

      Reppyboyo

      RM are being rather ###### recently. Been getting 2nd class postage within 3 days and 1st class postage is taking 1 week +

    2. FireKnife

      FireKnife

      RM are always *suitcase*, just we don't have a real alternative to small item carriage without paying too much so they take the ###### when they can. :P

    3. hwagan

      hwagan

      Yeah, RM have a habit of being pants, although I find SD quite reliable usually... The main point was, I made an order for Zero One, a pleasant bloke was happy to give me the tracking number when I phoned them at 10 past 1, and the whole order was received complete and intact. That's like, the first time that's ever happened. Ever.

  20. Maybe it's just me, but PatrolBase's 'Airsoft women' photo competition is really pissing me off.

  21. My Army 1911 is at least 20% more gas efficient than my old TM/Hurricane Mike Cripps built Kimber. LOL.

    1. hwagan

      hwagan

      My idea of plinking is transition drills, setting up IPSC style coke can courses, drawing from concealment... Essentially I spend an hour or two every few evenings boss'ing my way around the house, heh. Definitely helps in games 'n all. Still, it's going to be skirmished and skirmished hard, so once I've had it a bit longer I'll get some impressions up with regards to any failures or wear etc.

       

      Mike, what was bad about your hop, just the rubber?

    2. FireKnife

      FireKnife

      Nice. Too bad i still haven't found a local posh farmer to hire land off of for that yet :P Still good to hear how well it does after a three month period, maybe like my tank of a 1911A1 that just refuses to die, it has funny moments but it is old, well used and pretty much gets abused too much. :P

    3. Mike_West

      Mike_West

      No, the hop-up arm was bent too much and caused the BBs to curve significantly right ("significantly" as in at least a foot at 10ft distance). After bending it back to 90 degrees, it's working correctly ever since.

      Now I'm thinking about expanding my collection, as I'm the unofficial armorer of a local photography hobby group ("Do I have to bring a duffle full of guns again?" - "Of course, what did you expect?!"). There are some things I'd like...
