Bloodsword Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Yeah I have disassembled the whole gun, thats not the issue. I have tried many small screws in it, and whilst pushing nothing has happened. I presume it is turned normally clockwise? Hmm... weird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ViciousV10s Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 (edited) You need to push the screw on the mag release in first, THEN turn it CCW, it will lock in, then you can push the mag release out. Â You dont need to remove anything else to get the mag release out...other than the mag of course. Edited April 16, 2008 by ViciousV10s Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RacingManiac Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 (edited) is there a special pattern or something on your stippled grip on the left side of the pistol? also, with that much material removed from the trigger guard, can that still be used to holster with those racegun style holster?

hkssr20det Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 I don't really know about the strength when it comes to a race holster, haven't bought one yet, but the left side has my initials stippled in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clockwork_O Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 After a long search I found a metal slide for my Magna Xcelerater 6" Hybrid thanks to charliecloud. The slide needed a lot of fitting and sanding but now it works like a dream.  I also replaced the unreliable magna hopup with a fixed scw3 hop.  Polished the black metal slide (in phase one)    greetz.  Milan  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mobius Strip Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 (edited) WA SCW Bulldogs (WA-CWP) - custom, metal! Â Â These were limited edition production guns released in March 2002 by WA's SCW department, 500 in total - the operation system is Magna. Here's a promo picture from Combat magazine: Â Â Â Slide is 4.3" length, overall slide profile including stand-off block is approximately 5". When upgrading to metal; I changed the styling on mine to the SV Infinity roots that they came from, more on that later. Â Â The standard size SV grip is custom cut to allow fitment of the shorter compact SV magazine, although the normal length SV type will fit and work perfectly albeit with a bit of protrusion. Â Â Ironically WA have now released another compact mag in between the two sizes - it is a copy of SV's "Duty" magazine with a bumper the same thickness as the compact. Â As I have always been a fan of Infinity's I have changed components to suit the Infinity factory style when I upgraded to the metal slide. These changes include, Novak fixed to Bomar adjustable sights, 3 hole trigger to SV interchangeable, Wilson beavertail to Ed Brown type, single sided safety to Ed Brown ambi style, hammer from round to square and the Wilson slide stop was swapped out. To be fair even from the factory SV's are semi custom and you can pretty much have what you like. Â One of the Bulldog metal slides has a flat top slide, the other has a ribbed style, it's just what came through at the time (Prime/SD). One gun is built from a 'factory' Bulldog (with the Wilson medallion), the other (with the SV logo) was built using parts unique to the Bulldog which were ordered from WA after the exchange of an excess of 10 e mails and considerable cost! Â Â Â Â Do not confuse these Bulldogs with the smaller Infinity Tactical Carry's with 3.9" slide and Compact grip that were released later. Here's a comparison shot: Â Â I decided to change the Bulldogs Magna HOP system (just as you Clockwork O ) to the later 6.03mm SCW adjustable type, although this has only improved range a fraction, I noticed that the groupings were a lot more consistent at extreme ranges with all weights of BB.

Clockwork_O Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Very nice Mobius,  we did you find these rare SVI's? If you every decide to sell one of those, just let me know. I'm a big WA collector...  Greetz  Milan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Truthfully, I never remember a 4.3 Bulldog , so that's awesome.   Hi Terence -  The "Bulldog .45" was released on March 16th 2002  The 3.9" "SVI Tactical Carry" was released on November 16th 2002  Please note there isn't really a Tactical Carry Bulldog, only the bigger brother carries that moniker, even though I think we can all see the family resemblance  Hope that helps  Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Romulus Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I just finished helping a friend restyle his Hi-Capa 4.3 into a 1911. I had a whole pile of 4.3 parts left over and yesterday got the urge to build something out of them. I decided that I wasn't using my STI Hybrid enough so I stripped it down to use as a base gun for this project. I am currently selling the slide and may be putting other parts of it up for sale as well. Â Anyway, this is my attempt at a 4.3 race gun and so far I have been very pleased with how it has handled. I am currently running a plastic 4.3 slide with an SD steel outer barrel combo. The slide has been short stroked and I am using a stock 5.1 recoil spring to give everything a bit more snap. I have thrown on a number of other cosmetic parts that I have lying around as well and I'm surprised at how well everything seems to fit. Â Shooting this gun is tons of fun. Double taps are crazy fast and the gun is small enough that it is easy to maneuver it from target to target. Thanks to the stock slide and short stroke I'm really not having much trouble with recoil knocking the gun off target. I think that I will probably start using this gun for postals once I get the final kinks worked out of it. Â Â Â Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites

slayer32390 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Does anyone know if I can use a shooters design metal chamber/outer barrel set with a Guarder slide without having to do any major fitting or modifications? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 it shouldn't need "major" fitting, but you'll probably need to smooth out the barrel lugs between the slide and chamber and such, basically the basic fitting for a metal slide to a barrel... Â SD slide works best with SD barrels obviously, but all brands can be made to work with eachother... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slayer32390 Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) Yeah thats what I figured but the guarder metal barrel that I had before tipped so much that the guarder slide wouldnt cycle so I put the stock one back in. And I figured I would see if it was one of those "will not fit under any circumstances" situations. Edited April 30, 2008 by slayer32390 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I had a Guarder barrel and it did not like to work with either the PGC slide or the SD slide I had....might just be the barrel....it was also heavier than the SD one.....the weight probably doesn't help either....it was also loose fit too... Â I've heard the SD barrel does not like non-SD parts. But it works fine with my 1911 with stock slide.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slayer32390 Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Ok thanks for the help, I guess I will just have to try it and hope for the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aerodrew Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 On the topic of speed holsters, have there been any left handed airsoft speed holsters on the market? I was thinking of getting a hogue powerspeed, but hoping for a cheaper alternative. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
