RSP1 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Looks excellent; glad everything worked out for you. The SD frame will really complete the appearance. Link to post Share on other sites
r.ocelot Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Don't suppose you have a steel hammer/sear set and a trigger job in the works? Link to post Share on other sites
Moriquende Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 (edited) Nope. But do SCW2 kits fit without problems? Edit: BTW, does real pistol sights fit on airsoft slides? Edited September 19, 2007 by Moriquende Link to post Share on other sites
Moriquende Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Seems like I solved the problem. After a bit of filing and the addition of a for the disconnector it works great with a nice and smooth trigger pull Sorry for double post Link to post Share on other sites

BigD_SealTeamXXL Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 quick question im getting a hi capa 4.3 and wondered if its in anyway possible to fit a SD rail frame then buy a 5.1 slide, barrel and all that? i know there different sizes but are all the "blowback" parts able to fit in a 5.1 slide? cheers guys (bit of a gbb noob here) D Link to post Share on other sites
suicidalsnowman Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Why not just get a 5.1 in the first place, IIRC the internals should fit, but the sight from the 4.3 will be novaks and wont fit in the bomar cuts on the 5.1 slide. Link to post Share on other sites

suicidalsnowman Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Well you would have to replace the inner and outer barrels, which means getting one of the one peice ones or the SD ones and a new chamber. Then you would have to buy the frame and slide and some of the first factory combat sights, which look like overly long novaks that fill the bomar cut or the sight bases for the docter sight replics (the very little red dot sights). The controls and grips should fit on the frame fine, but I have heard that the 33rd hi cappa mags do not cause the slide to lock back on the 4.3s, so you may need to use the 4.3 mags. I can't see why any of the parts should be incompatible as they are of a very similar design and most places list parts as being for the 5.1, 4.3 and 1911 as they are all very similar inside and out.

hkssr20det Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 The mags are fully interchangeable between 5.1 and 4.3, I swap mine all the time. The only real difference between the two are frames, outer & inner barrels, recoil guides and sights. Everything else is the same. Also the trigger mechanism is different (sear and vale knocker) between the Hi Capas and the 1911 in Tokyo Maruis. Link to post Share on other sites
BigD_SealTeamXXL Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 (edited) thanks for the help guys as a lil "project" im planning to make a kimber-a-like hi capa but im starting with a 4.3 because its that cheap (in a sale with a team mate) base http://www.pyramydair.com/images/AFHiCapa4.3.jpg install a TLE frame http://www.wgcshop.com/WGC_Shop/images/fa_...hc51rctlebk.jpg kimber slide (i know i need the barrels and stuff) http://www.wgcshop.com/WGC_Shop/images/pgc_sl_tmhc_kimb.jpg then if im able to fit the TK grip http://www.wgcshop.com/pcart/shopper.php?i...I43GBKL_srch_TK if theres anything bad in my plan please let me know (PM if you dont want to spam the thread) cheers guys and love the grips ViciousV10s Edited September 19, 2007 by BigD_SealTeamXXL Link to post Share on other sites
hkssr20det Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Funny, since I just finished that gun (but I used a SD Slide with Kimber sights). The TLE Frame is pretty hard to find, and it really doesn't work so well with the TK grip. I had problems lining everything up. It might just require milling the grips a little so they don't get pushed out of alignment, but I am thinking about selling it anyway, so I haven't worked on it much. Don't forget the longer recoil guide rod. Link to post Share on other sites
davedawg123 Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I don't recall any aftermarket 5.1 bomar sights being available so you'll have to source a used one or contact leonardinjapan@hotmail.com to see if he can source one for you. Link to post Share on other sites
r.ocelot Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 There are NB fixed sights which he could use. Link to post Share on other sites
hkssr20det Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 The sight problem is a good reason to buy the SD slide. It comes with Kimber look sights installed already. Link to post Share on other sites

RSP1 Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 (edited) Looks great Vicious... what brand of Doctor replica is that, and how is it working out for you? Edited September 23, 2007 by RSP1 Link to post Share on other sites
ViciousV10s Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Looks great Vicious... what brand of Doctor replica is that, and how is it working out for you? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks, it's the Samurai OP Red Dot Sight and is very comparable to the Firepoint/Optima2000s I had on three of my Glocks. For airsoft purposes it's great, not sure how it would hold up to RS recoil tho. Link to post Share on other sites
