Marine47 Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 You use Real Steel recoil spring for your airsoft gun?? Spring for which caliber ammo that you use? Marine47: Most of my WAs are stock, i never use HFC134, only greengas. Only 1 had a broken slide, that was an old magna. So i think most people here already realise how dependable WAs are, its just a place to discuss what mods are done. I think whoever sells you the Kimber is lying, claiming that its been upgraded to handle greengas. Stock WA(newer version) are usually strong enough to handle green up to a certain period of time. I'm almost 100% sure that it will eventually break, even tho i've had some of my WA for almost 2 years with nothing but green, and its still fine I wouldnt suggest using too strong of a spring tho. Recoil spring plays a HUGE role in how your gun behaves (airsoft and RS), it has its ratings, not as simple as swaping it as you like. Noob3r is right, it'll add more stress rather than ease the impact. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> and noob3r, thank you very much for your repsonses. I think for now I'm going to keep the gun stock. If the slide breaks then I go with a metal one! Thanks again. - Marine47 Link to post Share on other sites
christhesecond Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 just got it today, i'm gonna leave it bone stock cos i have learnt the hard way about my skills at upgrading pistols. i came when it arrived and i think i came again when i fired it. did not disappoint. cheers chris Link to post Share on other sites
Lithium Jack Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 How are the grips in person? I've always thought that they looked a little plasticky in photos. Sweet gun, though, wish it was in my price range. Link to post Share on other sites
christhesecond Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 yes mate, the grips are a bit plasticky. thats my one external critism. does anybody know where to get real steel grips for a k warrior. cheers chris Link to post Share on other sites
TheLair Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Most RS grips made for 1911s will fit with no modification, so it just depends on what you like Link to post Share on other sites
christhesecond Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Most RS grips made for 1911s will fit with no modification, so it just depends on what you like <{POST_SNAPBACK}> sorry i ment, the same style grips, not specific grips to fir the k warrior, thats my bad. cheers chris Link to post Share on other sites

TheLair Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 (edited) I misunderstood what you had first asked, thats my fault They're called Simonich gunner grips, I believe. Thats what WA replicates with the K warrior Edited November 8, 2006 by TheLair Link to post Share on other sites
Lithium Jack Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I don't think so. Gunner grips are the same material, but different pattern. The warrior grips are Kimber's own, aren't they? Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 wafer and honeycomb, I'd use gunners if I were you, I've only heard good things. Link to post Share on other sites
christhesecond Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 cheers lads one more thing ive had bad experience with losing front sights, you reckon i should take my front sight off and put the smallest amount of super glue in there to make sure i dont lose it? cheers chris Link to post Share on other sites
TheLair Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Go for it, I did it on my gun. Although I did it because I got a metal kit, and the recoil would loosen them, and I am sick of tightening em. But yea, if you tend to lose them, go for it. Link to post Share on other sites
Axel Foley Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Another Shot of my WE 1911. Too bad the slide catch doesn´t really work. Does anybody have an idea how to fix that issue? Link to post Share on other sites
n00b3r Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Gunner grips have circular dimples, while Kimber's rip off has ovalar dimples. Link to post Share on other sites

Axel Foley Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Yeah I tried it with both mags. When I got the gun first I did only have the problem with one mag, but now it is both of them. Link to post Share on other sites
christhesecond Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 ok definitely not using green in it anymore. one mags worth just chaved a considerable chunk out of the slide notch i am genuinely on the verdge of tears did i read somewhere that this could be because the original mag? think i read that from you hardboiled, cant remember though. cheers chris Link to post Share on other sites

Mathub Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I don't like to glue things, especially sights. I usually put a little piece of tape, then I slide the sight over it. Works well for me. Link to post Share on other sites
