Aitch Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 All stock, I would sell the Coltonics with its original grips but It cost £280 to import, too rich for most folk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfgeorge Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Nice collection... My internals are almost new except the hammer... I'm thinking is the hammer but the (almost) new ProG4 hammer doesn't work with it! I don't have a spare hammer! I've tried several sears and disconnectors so far! The trigger also seems too sensitive! Wolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) Wow. It looks great. I think I would be forced to switch to silver controls and some wood grips though. Wolf, yeah, you will have an issue with a steel hammer and a stock sear. Can you just borrow another hammer from another WA to test?

Aitch Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 The original had silver controls, Mobius did a swap with me, I prefer black switches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Ah, fair enough. If you ever want to swap silver for black again, I'm always on the lookout for silver parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfgeorge Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 I've opened 3 pistols and tested everything except the hammer from my other Raptor... I'll do that probably tomorrow... I'm too tired to bother with it right now. Thanks for the help guys Wolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lazyshark Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 The sear might need more tension from the leaf spring. Or some lube around the sears so that nothings binded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfgeorge Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 The trigger also is very sensitive ... I've tried to lube everything but the same problem, I've fired it again and now it fires mostly full auto! Wolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mimesis Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 The trigger also is very sensitive ... I've tried to lube everything but the same problem, I've fired it again and now it fires mostly full auto! Wolf Full auto is almost always this: the hammer sear isn't engaging the hammer properly (to stop it from firing again), because there isn't enough pressure on it from the leaf spring when the sear is trying to engage. Adjust leaf spring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfgeorge Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Thanks I'll try that probably tomorrow. I'll keep you updated... Wolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lazyshark Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Very cool nighthawk. A sensitive trigger could also be caused by a bent trigger bar which would also explain the full auto. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cool-breeze87 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 No everything is stock WA, I shoot 2 times I go to shoot the third and the hammer is at the battery, I cock it manually I fire one and the I'll have to cock it again. Also it fired a couple of time 2-3 rounds full auto! I really don't see anything wrong! I have a ProG4 SCW2 steel hammer but it doesn't work with it! It was by far the hardest conversion I've ever made and the one with the most problems! From now on.... Only Prime for me! Wolf I had a similar issue with a WA Beretta, not sure if it's just WA pistols. Basically it would either shoot full auto or the hammer would be down after I fired a shot.

hitmanNo2 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 The problem on the Beretta could be from a worn part 25 or an issue with part 79. Those are M92 part numbers so the equivalent to other Berettas. You had a Cougar right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Almost finished my 1911 Custom/Silverballer. Just waiting on a new trigger, an engraver to do the symbols and a little text. Very happy with it so far! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Bulldog: Now if only the only short slide Officers TM system wasn't the 3.8 WE 1911 (had one, it sucked). Based on this idea the ZG-51 Pitbull : 'FireKnife' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lazyshark Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Detonator makes compact kits based on the MEU but they are expensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mimesis Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Detonator makes--or rather, made--a pretty incredible range of kits and slides, but you never see 90-95% of them anywhere, not even on the really specialist retailers, I presume because they are long out of stock. But here are the complete pages from Detonator's distributor, ENTEN. Look and weep. http://www.enten.co.jp/En-Detonator-Kit.html http://www.enten.co.jp/En-Detonator-Slide.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lazyshark Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Didn't know about the enten-detonator link. Very cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Yeah i think i will stick to my one, after seeing how much they cost But either way it is a good idea but due to the fact that the TM is weighted in the frame it feels odd in a holster as i droops a bit 'FireKnife' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfgeorge Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Detonator kits are pretty over priced IMO. They need some work to install them and the Nova ambi safety doesn't work! For me that's unacceptable a $700+ kit to take that much effort to fit! Here;s why the Nova safety doesn't work.. Wolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 It just needs a bit filing doesn't it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lazyshark Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Wolf what gun is that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Looks like the Detonator V12 kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfgeorge Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Yes its Detonator SFA V12 Limited Edition kit based on TM 1911. I could fix it with a bit if sanding, but I'm not modifying a Nova part... I've used quite a few Nova parts in the past and all went in with no mods at all! I'll use a stock TM MEU safety and modify that. This is something that shows the quality of the kit, for me it's unacceptable. Nova kits are more scratch resistant and way cheaper.
