Chrissyg Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) Well I thought id post a couple of piccies of my new baby, my TM Hi Capa 4.3 Now im waiting and wondering when the metal slides are coming out! Edited December 30, 2005 by Chrissyg Link to post Share on other sites
Glenn Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 well, there's no middle ground on those grips! as for the Koba stuff.... the slide kit is expensive, and it's plastic, tough as heck, but still plastic. (the recoil spring is a little too strong too.. throws off the second shot for speed shooting..) as far as the barrel in performance. if used in context of what Mr. Koba and all of Japan (well most) it performs great! superb accuracy and consistency! there are a few drawbacks though, you can NOT go beyond 320fps in power output, after that, the rifling takes over, and all your shots go to the right. also, there is a slight velocity loss due to the rifling. but as far as a target barrel, it's great! oh yeah, and I just made a purple 4.3 for someone else too. haha. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Cool, thanks for the info. I might pickup one of the Freedom Arts kits that includes a 6" twist barrel, thats why I was wondering. Too bad the slides are expensive, just like the First ABS slides. I can pry my wallet open for metal, but not for plastic:/ Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Well, i can post up my hi capa as it now is. It is now broken though . Hopefully i'll get it fixed if i get hold of the part (sear spring) but its not looking too likely <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Try contacting Phil at Marui Airsoft / Outdoor Pursuits, he may have a broken gun for spares.

Tunershark Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) oh its the infamous leaf spring, have fun lol anyways has anyone heard anything about this WE hi capa "tactical Master" that airsoftgi has? it looks really good, it comes with the SAS kit thing, and it looks to me like it has a rail that you can actually mount things on airsoftgi's the only place ive found with it so i was wondering if anyone has heard anything about it. i might just buy this thing instead of a shotgun Edited January 3, 2006 by Tunershark Link to post Share on other sites
Glenn Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Its just a standard hicapa clone with a really ghetto strike kit. Looks awful. Link to post Share on other sites
Tunershark Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 looks pretty good to me, just wondering if the rail is normal size unlike on the other WE's Link to post Share on other sites
Krazy L Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 If you are sharp you can tweak your leaf spring and sears in you TM hicapa and get it to go 4-6 shot burst. Not recommended. but it can be done. I know i am the one with the slect fire TM HEHE Link to post Share on other sites
Rocketman Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) 6" SVI limited with a Guarder stainless steel 45 Infinity chamber, Prime aluminium slide which was an S.O.B. to fit and had poorly finished sides so I grained and re-polished them, stock hammer properly finished and polished, white dots recessed into the rear sight blade, and finally the front sight is from my defunct Tanaka Ruger Super Redhawk. http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...e=post&id=14051 Chris. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> hey nice job there. i'm gonna do the same thing to my sights.

Ghost_Rider Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I've decided to pimp out my 2011's with nine ball slides, custom chrome trigger and hammer, and a long slide release. $187 of upgrades per pistol, cos I can't just pimp one of the pair. My wallet hates this sport. Link to post Share on other sites
