Squad 701 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Busy again today, custom building. Here are the results, a Kimber Warrior & Kimber LAPD-SIS (unrailed) Both Nova/TM based. Now off to watch a bit of football Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrManiac Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Love the SIS. Oh to have more cash and not being pulled so many ways with other projects lol. Enjoy the footie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squad 701 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Man, now that is a nice pair you have there ...beautiful simply beautiful. Thanks R, Well I was trained by the Master ;-) Airsoft Open University on You Tube, Keep up the brilliant work :-) I have two more Kimber Ultra kits to build for someone, But unfortunetly am missing a WA Nighthawk trigger in Silver for one, Anvil are out of stock at the moment. But I should be able to get a few shots of the Kimber RCP II up at the weekend, Before it leaves it's temporary home :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrManiac Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 "Airsoft Open University on YouTube", nice one lol ;-) Im not up with WAs parts or their availability, im not that big a fan of them, but if I come across anywhere that has a NH trigger I will let you know ;-) Though couldn't you use a RS trigger, as WAs are always quoted as being able to accept RS parts? Be nice to see the RCP II pics my friend before it wings its way to the client...so sad to let them go :-( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squad 701 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 I haven't got a whole lot of experience with WA, and sometimes tracking down parts is an art upon itself, Depending how faithful or accurate to the original you want to be. I could have finished the Kimber Ultra RCP II today, only to discover the inner-barrel from the donor-gun which is also a WA Ultra, isn't short enough for the RCP, not too sure what route to take to remedy this. Anyhow I have a couple of contacts in the states, so the silver RS Nighthawk trigger should be easy enough to get, once it's confirmed it's usable, but the Kimber RCP mag-release basically looks like someone took a file to it, shortened and rounded it, sounds like a custom-job ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finbarqs Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) And here's my 1911: On Green Gas, I can get about a good 10 shots before I lose gas pressure. On CO2 about 17. On Yellow, I've yet to do a proper test. But anyways this is a complete factory Inokatsu 1911A1. I've used a superfine grit sand paper to finish the gun a little so it didn't look too shiny and new! I gave it some wear to try and make it a little more "grey" then the original black. Edited June 15, 2012 by Finbarqs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrManiac Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Nice looking classic 1911a1 you have there 'Finbarqs'. That worn finish is well done, not to much but just right. The Inokatsu is supposed to be the ultimate in quality with a cost to match but is that a poorly fitted guide rod plug I see? As there is a gap below it in the tunnel, tut tut! 'Squad 701' with regards the inner barrel length problem, cannot you just trim it down or file it, then re-ream/crown the muzzle? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squad 701 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Nice shots Finbarqs. Great to see a couple of Inokatsu's showing up here at Arnies I see a definite pattern emerging where people would have preferred the weathered look of the original numbered 100. I have not seen any large resolution pictures of the limited release, privately owned that is, as opposed to commercial shots. I'd personally feel nervous putting sandpaper to an $800 pistol, but if it turned out looking anything like the WA Colt 1911a (Saving Private Ryan) Damaged version, I would be more than happy I have a friend with one, I might try and get a few shots of it with the TM/PGC version for comparison after the weekend.

Squad 701 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 As promised I managed to get a hold of these two for a few quick comparrison photos. TM/PGC metal kit 1911a and Inokatsu steel 1911a. The Inokatsu is a good 200g heavier than the TM/PGC. It was raining so flash had to be used unfortunetly, but you still get a good idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finbarqs Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 looks like your friend finished his as well too! Nice job to your friend! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Which is which (I'm presuming the top is the PGC but just to make certain)? The trades on the upper of the two do look nicer, but from what I can remember from last I held a real Colt one the markings of the lower are actually more accurate.

Jimmypie Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Indeed, id like to know which is which, purely from the looks, id rather have the lower/greyer finished one. Both look very nice though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finbarqs Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) top is inok, bottom is the other. Having own one myself, (and compared to my pics). The inokatsu actually came in black. below are pictures of the original 1911's. The top picture is the original design to 1924. Inokatsu modeled there's after the bottom one. here's his pictures again: Edited June 18, 2012 by Finbarqs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 In that case the Ino should be parkerized and to be honest doesn't look that well done, however if it is a commercial 1911 then it would be black but would also have the later model safety (the ones found on the Series 70 and Detonics) and the thinner hammer. Would still have the PGC kitted one and not the Ino. Now to get my camera working and get another family pic up 'FireKnife' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrManiac Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 My latest pistol build now completed... Nova Kimber Warrior metal slide mated to a standard (slightly customized lol) TM MEU frame with a Hurricane grip safety and Nova single thumb safety (should be an ambi but I had a single in my spares box and the cost was just to much for the ambi from Nova). Also fitted with uprated KA 150% recoil spring, PDI 6.01mm tightbore and a Nineball hop rubber. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squad 701 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hey MrManiac, I have one spare leftover Kimber-type magazine base-bumper to complete your Warrior if you need it Non-Gratis Amigo On a side note, the previous photo of the Colt 1911s. The PGC kit has a very Matt-finish, whilest the Inokatsu has a shinier steel look which will always make it look blacker in certain lights. If I can I'll try and get a few shots with a TM/MEU PGC kit for comparison. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squad 701 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Here are my last couple of shots of the Inokatsu 1911a, this time with the TM/PGC MEU for comparrison. The Inokatsu is definetly on the darker side of Parkerised Grey, then again I've never handled or seen the real-steel version, so won't comment on shades of grey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aitch Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 parkerising is a grey green, that's more blued, but not all were parkerised, they made so much they were finished any which way depending on factory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dew Key (Dewk) Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 My old WA (I think... Never found out the actually maker... Bought it used) 1911 Double stack. It has the stongest blow back of any GBB pistol I have ever felt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quiksilver6184 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 That's no WA, its a WE. http://www.evike.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_45_252&products_id=33322 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 "Manufactured by the best gas pistol manufacture" LOL. Although the WE Capa's I've had haven't been half bad, especially for the price, Evike's website is hilarious sometimes. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
