danr Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 An expensive day today. Well, actually, an expensive day a while ago, but arrived today. Mafioso Hardballer Long Slide full kit. Clone Detonics with King Arms steel Kimber slide. To be more fully upgraded as time progresses. Both not without problems. Having a hammer problem with the Hardballer (http://arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/216638-mafioso-hardballer-long-slide-problems/) The outer barrel that comes with the Kimber slide binds when the slide is in battery. Works perfectly with the stock Detonics barrel. I'll need to file down the tab on the outer barrel that interacts with the hop up unit (can't remember the actual name of the part) 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
icolater Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Or try changing the hop housing to a hi cap one without the nub for the recoil guide rod. That's sometimes an easy fix for jamming barrels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfgeorge Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Mafioso Arms AMT 1911 Hardballer Mine also has problems .. I'm guessing it's the disconnector but I haven't the time to check it properly. Wolf 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
danr Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 I ended up solving the Detonics/Kimber barrel issue with less than 10 seconds of filing of the barrel. Appears to work now. Going to order a whole bunch of bits to finish it off. Especially a steel hammer. As the stock Chinese pot metal hammer is looking in quite rough shape despite me only hand cycling it, and firing about 1 mag through it. Wolf, for a lot of helpful information on the Mafioso kit, see the thread I linked to in my earlier post. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 You could also message them on Facebook, they were very responsive when i had an issue with their product Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfgeorge Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Thank you Darn I read it. Mine probably has issues with the disconnector and the grip safety . The grip safety stays always pressed and can't pull it out !! But yea I want to contact Mafioso Arms and see what they have to say. Wolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
icolater Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) Hey Wolfgeorge it looks great! I love my mafioso Kimber stainless. Considering a Cerakote job to make it more real. My RA trp should come soon. I'll do a review, a better one then my last!! Hey blob face what did mafioso say when you messaged him? Did you file the little ramp part that interacts with the hop housing Danr? Edited October 9, 2016 by icolater Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 I bought a full steel Makarov from them and had some issues, they were very patient and asked me to take pictures of videos to show them issues, then in return they send me back pictures and videos to tell me how to fix the problems. Seems like they have very good customer service. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
danr Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) Did you file the little ramp part that interacts with the hop housing Danr?Yes. Just a tiny bit of filing on the forward horizontal part Edit, so as not to double post: Wolf, investigate trigger over travel. I had some grip safety issues similar to what you describe when the trigger was traveling too far. Went away after I added my trigger spacer.

Safeword Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Do you use some kind of polishing on them to make them so shiny? In my experience, brass tends to be a fingerprint magnet Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wolfgeorge Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Do you use some kind of polishing on them to make them so shiny? In my experience, brass tends to be a fingerprint magnet Well I polished the Gold Cup a couple months ago.. If you see the photo's with the other 2 V12's .. the V12's are not that shiny.. that's because they haven't been polished in a while Brass needs polishing every year or so.. if you mess with the guns too much then they need polishing sooner!

wolfgeorge Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Prime hands down .. much better finish and smoother action. The older the kit the better it is. Wolf 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
icolater Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Is that a steel barrel in the nova kit or the supplied aluminum one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
