Sale Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Some TM models have "weak points" that may occasionally fail when you use green gas. The 1911 has none that I know of. Just go green. -Sale Link to post Share on other sites
benzxi Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 thanks Sale. i've been reading a couple of threads posted by you..so i might take your advice on this. lastly, did anyone try this already? taiwan made metal slide for TM 1911.. clickky Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 does 1911's loading nozzle also share the problem with Hi-Capa's? I 've heard quite a few people's Hi-Capa's loading nozzle cracked. While I am not sure what the cause is, could it be caused by running the higher pressure Green/Propane?

Big Texas Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Got a metal slide on mine, but there's a good amount of play in it. It there a good way to fix that? Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 what kind of metal slide? Its possible that you got a Hi-Capa slide, which will fit on a 1911, but without the TK spacer it'll be quite loose... Link to post Share on other sites
Big Texas Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I honestly don't know, I bought this from a friend of mine who did many little upgrades to her. I suppose I could ask him, but, in the mean time, what is this spacer thing you speak of? Link to post Share on other sites
whosloosin92 Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Hey guys I just got a Nova Kimber Marsoc set for my TM 1911 and the front sight is very loose. I've thought of a few ways of securing it like shimming it up with tape but that leaves a large gap between the slide and the sight. Does anyone have any other suggestions? By the way for those unfamiliar with the Nova Kimber set the front sight is a dovetail design. Link to post Share on other sites
Sale Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 whosloosing92: Instead of only "shimming" the sight from below, fold your shim to face the rear (or front) of the sight base. This will reduce the slack from two directions. I cut a piece of coke can and folded one edge to an angle to shim a real rear sight to my KWA G19. cgyarring: Depending on the slide it may break easily if you try to alter the form, but the rails on the frame can be hammered to take out the play. At your own risk of course. -Sale Link to post Share on other sites
benzxi Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 took the plunge and installed a hammer and recoil spring 150 on my 1911 using greengas...my gbb rocks so hard i love it! Link to post Share on other sites

Utty Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 whosloosing92: Instead of only "shimming" the sight from below, fold your shim to face the rear (or front) of the sight base. This will reduce the slack from two directions. I cut a piece of coke can and folded one edge to an angle to shim a real rear sight to my KWA G19. I tried the coke can shim on an SD Hi-Capa slide the other day, but there was not enough space for the piece of aluminium, yet the sight was still too loose. Instead I nipped tiny notches in the edges of the front sight (the edges that wedge into the sharp angles of the dovetail) with wire cutters, which made the sight a very tight fit.

RacingManiac Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Anyone know if there is a Springfield Operator kit out yet? Or a stand alone chrome barrel and bore, so I can make a Springield loaded? Thanks! Dentrinity Part #: GSMS895 + GSMS965S That's Shooter Design S.A. .45 Chamber + Hi-Capa 5.1 straight barrel. This will fit a TM1911 and is stainless steel finish. http://www.wgcshop.com/pcart/shopper.php?i...MOBSV_srch_Nine Ball Also works, though not labeled as Springfield...

FriendlyFire! Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Has anybody gotten the TK parts if so have you successfully put in? I asked because I have it everything else fits right, but I'm having trouble with the beavertail I feel that TK made these for their tactical frame and not for TM's stock frame.... Oh and one more thing, RS triggers will they fit? Link to post Share on other sites
krame Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Thats what I figured with the TK parts. It looked from the pictures like it would only fit a frame cut for a beavertail like the TK frame and Nova kits. The cut of the beavertail is too small to fit on the large pointy government style tang. Link to post Share on other sites
benzxi Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 i just bought the guarder springfield frame (it looks sooo cool after installing it) but im having a bit of a dilemma.. should this screw be "a bit" loose? whenever i tighten the screw, c*cking the slide becomes rough and sluggish to the point where u actually have to pull the slide up forcefully, gets stuck that way, and u'd have to push the slide back. when i loosened this screw a bit (around 3/4ths of a turn before you ultimately tighten it), slide function became smoother and better. so my question is, should i leave it loose and untightened? is that safe? thanks p.s. sorry for my english..

chris u'5 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Does anyone know what the difference is between the 3 styles of bushings Nova have released? They are listed as style 1, style 2 and style 3 but they all look the same. Link to post Share on other sites
