antroa1985 Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Very nice wolfgeorge! Is that the mafioso kit with RS grips? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunnman Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Wanted to make a custom 1911 I could call my own, and skirmish with also: Marui series 70 Taino Koba frame with nova parts. Novak dovetail for sights. Detonator Heinie slant pro from the HK45, refitted for the 1911. Stock internals. My main skirmish pistol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hardboiledcop Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Wolfgeorge you make me so sad to have sold my WA's. My Marui's definitely skirmish better, but they're not as much fun that's for sure. Are WA still producing? I'd do anything to get my Bob Chow and Raptor back.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Yup. Still producing. I check on http://www.wa-gunnet.co.jp/ every now and again. Pretty much 80% 1911 variant re issues, 10% Beretta re issues, 10% SV re issues. Every now and again a new variant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) Those prices though, most places they seem to be around $300+ I remember ordering them 2 at a time from GunsnGuys for half that. how things have changed.

Gunnman Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 I guess that's how they survive. I moved away from buying WA's recently because they cost too much to buy stock. I promised the only WA I would pay big money for was the Swenson custom with the S&W sights. Building them used to cost less, but the hike in shipping and conversion rate now makes that costly too.

hitmanNo2 Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Yeah, my WA buying tailed off somewhat when you stopped being able to get one for £130 delivered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 May as well post my latest aquisition. Not a massive fan of the colouring, but the design is great, 3D printed grip is surprisingly good, sights are great too, hopefully they'll put out another model in black at some point.

icolater Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Looks great!! WE make a version in black. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 I live in Leeds and found out that WE 1911s are essentially useless for 3/4s of the year. Even my Armorer Works Hi-Capa struggles to fire off a full magazine! But yeah, it looks a lot nicer in black thats for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dj_komodo Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 This would work a lot better in Leeds 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 ^^ Cybergun/KWC Colt M45A1 CO2. woop woop! Can't say enough good things about those for the price point. Or otherwise for that matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wingman Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Have to also give props to the KWC/Cybergun 1911's. Have a Colt Rail Gun and the 1911A1 with parkerized finish. They work all the time and I've never had a weather issue with either of them. They work so well that I've pretty much retired my KJW's and TM's (no I'm not giving them away..lol) My only issue is that, every now and then, I was activating the thumb safety while shooting. I took a dremmel tool and just deepened the notch in the lever so that the spring loaded pin just went a tad deeper into the safety. Those photos of the WE and KWC/Cybergun Rail Guns are terrific. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Mines fantastic too. Took a while to run in the hop rubber, but now it's there, it's a tack driver. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfgeorge Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 WA still makes guns.. But after the Tsunami stopped exporting them. Then was the time when Prime and other manufacturers stopped making parts for them too. Wolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Does the KWC function correctly? One thing that put me off the WE models is weird hammer interactions (ie. the gun would only fire after racking the slide, rather than cocking the hammer). One of the reasons I loved the WA's so much was their 'realism' so to speak, in regards to hammer operation, firing at an angle without pissing away all their gas, etc.. I never made the leap to connect the Tsunami to it, must have moved away from WA by that point, still it's sad to hear, Gunsnguys was a great retailer too, but I'm guessing they're gone as well, considering their website times out nowadays. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 If you don't rack the slide, how would it fire? From an empty chamber that is. Never tried it with my KWC I don't think since that doesn't make much sense to me. Either insert magazine with slide locked to the rear and then release it, or insert magazine with slide forward and then rack it. I have a couple of videos on my KWC 1911 you can take a look at.

NonEx Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Well then... let's make this a picture thread again now that we got that sorted out Got this from QRF two weeks ago... Anyone see anything strange? At first I thought I could live with it... But no. So I messaged QRF on FB and they are sending me a new one Edited April 18, 2018 by NonEx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfgeorge Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Lol ...Seneseo I'm a huge WA lover as well .. I've kept many WA 1911s in my collections.. I have at least one of each version of internals. Now I'm messing around with a Rtype.. I'm trying to build it without the use of donor gun..and boy.. parts for Rtype are super hard to come by!

hitmanNo2 Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Are you doing it with no donor as a challenge or out of necessity? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
icolater Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 What gun is that Nonex and what's the problem? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) QRF custom engraved AW Customs Springfield V10 in chrome/stainless/silver. Probably engraved by RIW. Pretty sure it's from an early run as I signed up for one on their Facebook within 10 minutes of them posting about it It should say "GENESEO", not "SENESEO" Other than the spelling mistake on the frame on the one I got the engravings are fantastic, thus why I suspect RIW does them, and they posted two days later on FB that they had them available as well The Springfield insignia on the right hand side of the slide, jizz The pistol itself otherwise is no better or worse than my original AW Custom non marking V10 in silver. As expected. Here's what the new one looks like that they will send me. If you were to nit-pick, the kerning (letter spacing) of the serial number is too wide but I rather have them do that (probably artistic freedom because it "looks better") than a spelling mistake Edited April 18, 2018 by NonEx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
