bankz5152 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 I'm waiting for them to reply to me as to when they actually ship. Considering canceling my order with Boom Arms and buying from them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 I had a confirmation email to say everything in my order will ship in the next few days but that remains to be seen. I reckon it'll be a week or two personally. Either way, not in a rush I don't even have the donor gun or plan on getting one anytime soon!

bankz5152 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Haha fair enough! In that case ill stick with my original order, bought a spare nozzle incase I break it fitting. Im actually very excited! I bought the first electroplating kit but an asshat friend left it in his damp garage for 3 fays which wrecked the finish around the trades, it started to bubble. While he was doing some work to it. This one will remain pristine, but will be used. Going to make a faux alcantara lined kydex holster for it. Similar to the blackhawk level 3s. Max protection to keep it safe! On my phone, my spelling will suck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) I've got all the uprated internals for it too as well as the MAG Spring replacement which I've had sitting about for absolutely ages! Im going to try and get a similar finish on mine as Deadpool has on his.. Almost blued I guess not sure how to go about it but thought the bare metal was the best starting point! Either way it'll be used and abused! As for holsters, any chance you'll make another? Considering going down that route for mine too!

Dj_komodo Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 A reinforced nozzle is almost a must when installing a metal kit as the original is made for a plastic pistol and will break with the force of the metal pistol. 150% recoil and hammer Spring is also something you want to invest in together with a high flow valve for the magazine... Btw, robinhood tactical is releasing their own metal kit for the desert eagle that looks a lot nicer but costs 4 times more: http://www.crw-airsoft.com/pre-order-limited-edition-de-2016-xix-l6-aluminium-kit--steel-parts-for-marui-de-by-robinhood-tactical-taiwan-11236-p.asp Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I've had three shipments from R8 in the last few months. In each case, chose the "intermediate" shipping option (not fastest, not slowest). Shipment #1 took over 3 weeks; ##2 and 3 came through in about 10 days each. Go figure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 I've just had a reply from them, apparently the kit should be back in stock within a month or sooner. I also chose the intermediate postage, as im not in a rush im not bothered how long it takes! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The plastic nozzle survives fine, my other metal DE has the first Guarder kit since it came out never broke. However the so called reinforced nozzle broke after 2 mags. As for the hammer spring that does nothing but increase slide resistance. High flows, maybe but not if you want to use it in anything less than 25c outside. 120% recoil springs however yes.

mimesis Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Here's the other metal kit that's in the pipeline. http://www.crw-airsoft.com/pre-order-limited-edition-de-2016-xix-l6-aluminium-kit--steel-parts-for-marui-de-by-robinhood-tactical-taiwan-11236-p.asp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dj_komodo Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 mentioned that e few posts ago, 800 bucks!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Just had a shipment notification from Rainbow 8, my kit is en route. Guess I should find a donor for it relatively soon.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 As has mine! :D Got my donor sitting here ready. Sadly it is the 10" Biohazard pistol, it got ruined in a skirmish then I sold the grips to Kodiak to finish his 24k gold DE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I always wondered where he got his grips! Im thinking some nice rosewood grips for mine.. Either that or some Hogues and try to get a relatively similar finish to Deadpools.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Haha yep me! Was glad to sell em for somthing so awesome. Got genuine Hogues on mine, they are damn comfy On my phone, my spelling will suck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Think Hogues might be the way to go! Though they might be a bit beefy for my hands.. The standard grips are bad enough Hogues are bigger if I remember rightly? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 They are a fair bit bigger, you get used to them after a while. Failing that the airsoft rubber grips are much slimmer On my phone, my spelling will suck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Dibs on anyone's (chrome) stock outer barrel and slide after they've upgraded. I have one in need of those. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 I have got a Guarder electroplated front outer batrel in chrome but is missing the 'prongs' that hold it to the hop chamber On my phone, my spelling will suck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 I'll be using a black donor on my Aluminium kit so I have the black controls im afraid! Think the rubber airsoft grips are going to be the way to go. Do you mean the ones that come stock on the Marui? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 On the 10" yeah or on the KWC ones but I think you can get some clone hogue ones On my phone, my spelling will suck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfgeorge Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 I'd like a XIX Deagle but 800 usd are too much. Wolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
