hkssr20det Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Mine doesn't cycle great at all. Should I oil it or something? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Your nine ball doesn't cycle? I really had no problem with the plastic or with my PGC. I think oiling will help, but check to be sure it has free movement around the hop up. Link to post Share on other sites
FriendlyFire! Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Those of you who have Guarder metal kits; how deep are the trades engraved? I'm looking to get the Guarder SA kit and bead blast it, but if the trades are not that deep to begin with, I'm not going to even bother. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know this is not a pic thread but for you here's some pics, and sorry for the crapy pic. I know you can't see them, but the trades on the Guarder kits are realy deep. Oh and does anyone have the Creation kit if so, how is it? I'm planning to get another 1911 but I'm not sure which to go with next the PGC or the Creation kit, it looks like the Creation one has the right color going, check it out. RW doesn't have the whole kit, but I've seen other places that have them. Link to post Share on other sites
junior Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Does anyone know where I can find a Nine Ball Silver outer barrel? They seem to be out of stock everywhere. Also Is there any other place that carries the PDI Long spring Guide Set, and Silver barrel bushing besides X-Fire? They are out of stock at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites
rhines Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 I've had my TM M1911 for a couple months now and I want to buy some goodies for it. I'm using GG and .25 Excel bios. I wanted to get some expert opinions on upgrades. Below are the ones I targeted as the best improvement for the price. If there are some others that are better or I should consider please advise. Thanks guys for any advice. PDI 6" barrel Nine Ball air seal Nine Ball piston head w/spring (or w/o the spring, what does it do?) I was also wondering about this one: Nine Ball Recoil Guide Rod w/bearings. (what will this one do?) Link to post Share on other sites
Insanejoe Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 6" barrel? the M1911A1 only has a 5" barrel iirc Link to post Share on other sites
FriendlyFire! Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 6" barrel? the M1911A1 only has a 5" barrel iirc <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Naw you can get a 6" for it from PDI and can also equip a barrel attchment click here for the parts. Link to post Share on other sites
The Saint Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Indeed, stock barrel length is 4.5", definately not 6". The spring that comes with the Nine Ball piston head replaces the stock spring inside the loading nozzle. It delays the movement of the gas valve inside the loading nozzle that redirects gas from the inner barrel to the blowback engine, so more gas goes into pushing the BB out of the barrel and less gas goes to blowing the slide back. No idea how well it actually works, though. A recoil spring guide with bearings should improve the blowback slightly by allowing the recoil spring to rotate instead of bind. Easiest way to improve accuracy and range in a GBB is to use heavier BBs, due to the way GBBs work. I personally use 0.30g, though I'm probably going to switch to 0.28g for logistical reasons. I think you should read more on GBBs before doing anything to your gun, rhines. There's a very good pictoral guide on gas guns in the articles section. No point in getting the parts if you don't know what they're for, you might as well learn about them. Link to post Share on other sites
Sale Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Does anyone know where I can find a Nine Ball Silver outer barrel? They seem to be out of stock everywhere. http://redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/...il?prodID=21367 The Saint: The floating valve spring doesn't reduce the amout of gas used for blowing the slide back, because that amount is determined by the slide movement. So instead of affecting the gas "balance", the spring increases the gas consumption for increased power. Personally I like this approach more than high flow valves, because there's no need for increased blowback if you just want some more power. Additionally, you can change the floating valve itself to another design to adjust the output. I second the BB weight argument. I use 0.30 gram BBs in my TM Glock 17, and the people at the local club call me "Alpha King" for shooting A-hits 90% of the time. -Sale Link to post Share on other sites

hkssr20det Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Naw you can get a 6" for it from PDI and can also equip a barrel attchment click here for the parts. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Other than it being a 6.05mm tight bore, that set up works really well. Good for 350fps or so. I have one fore sale right now. Link to post Share on other sites
snipe Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 does any one know if a WE 1911 tactical barrel will fi on a TM 1911 govt? I just ordered one and its on the way but i wanna double check Link to post Share on other sites
The Saint Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 It should fit, people have put aftermarket TM1911 barrels in WE, unless there's an one-way-only compatibility issue. Link to post Share on other sites
Wege Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 I think I tried the standard WE in the TM, and I am semi-sure that it fits - if that hay-making was of any help. Link to post Share on other sites
snipe Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Well i picked it up today and it worked flawlessly. Gun cycled great and smooter than when the slide was on the WE. I did put the tm hopup unit and tight bore barrel into the WE however... it seemed to be nicer made and had the pin to hold the spring guide in place where the WE doesnt Link to post Share on other sites
junior Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 This question has been asked before but it didn't really get answered. What other options are out there for a metal rear sight besides the one thats included with the PGC DX kit and the one that comes with the PGC outer? Link to post Share on other sites
Wege Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 apparently a real sight is the only other option. Can I ask what is so important with having another sight? (apart from it being a different colour?) Link to post Share on other sites

(apart from it being a different colour?) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I need a metal one to bead blast to match a silver gun I'm planning on building. If I cant find the sight alone I'm just gong have to buy the PGC outer.

Wege Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 true true.. well.. You are in the land that made the 1911... (against crazy phillipinos from memory) so why not rock up to a liquor shop/gun shop/drive through.. and get one or two? Link to post Share on other sites

hardboiledcop Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 it's not a very good idea to totally bead blast the sights on your 1911, they'd be useless for target acquisition.. unless you painted the user-facing side of each sight, or planted small black dots akin to the white spots on novaks.

I still have to locate the sight. Does anyone here have an SD 5.1 barrel installed on their 1911? If so is the SD 5.1 barrel bushing needed, or will the 1911 bushing work fine?
