SilentScope Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 You're going to put a Pachmayr GM45C on it right? Â BTW Great pictures, shallow depth of field is a plus. Link to post Share on other sites
trfo2o Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 (edited) the real steel grips? I might, it depends really. I have so many christmas gifts I still need to get. One for cousin, my GF, etc. so I may end up having to wait. But I'll definetly get em one way or another  thanks for the compliments silentscope, you've done some fantastic photos yourself so I feel good hearing that from you.

Sao Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Some more piccies of the Prime steel equiped MARSOC in natural light this time, I'm no David Bailey but they don't look too bad. Â Â Â Â Â Had a bit of a faff with it yesterday as well to imporove the recoil and slide action. Fitted a new hammer spring, that made a slight improvement, fitted a slightly weaker but still upgraded recoil spring and that made quite a large difference, you now feel the snap as the slide goes back. Before the newer recoil spring was fitted it was almost like the one before was cushioning the recoil somewhat. Then I noticed the slide was chewing the hammer up and had caused some large grooves that were making the slide stick so i set about rounding off the back of the slide that the hammer is pushed back by just like my other slides are and then filed the hammer back to flat and had airwoflie polish it to a mirror finish MUCH smoother action and back to the nice crisp hard kick you'd expect from a metal kitted WA Â I can still get a whole clip off at rapid fire but it does work better if you pause for a few seconds every 5 shots or so. I suspect it'll work much better in the summer months but overall I'm well chuffed with it Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 (edited) Ok, so I'm in the throws of buying a Kimber Swat-II scw3 (since it's cheaper and I've heard some very good things about the new system) but I do want to upgrade it to full metal and I've so far not spotted any sort of Kimber kit for SCW3. Â Is it possible to fit an SCW2 kit to an scw3 gun? if so, is it particularly difficult? anyone had any experience doing it? Â cheers. Â edit - Sao, I'd love to see a video of her in operation if you have the ability.. I'd like to see how it shoots too.. One thing, does it sound metallic in operation (because that is the only drawback I've found with metal WA's unlike my Glock 19 they dont make the lovely cha-chink noise you expect from a metal gun..

hardboiledcop Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 one other thing, in pistols such as the MARSOC with a lanyard loop. Is this removable? Â +1's to anyone who can answer.. Â cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Well if you consider cutting it off or swapping out the whole mainspring housing for one with no lanyard loop, removeable, then yes. Link to post Share on other sites
Sao Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Unfortunately I don't have the ability to video it in action, it sure does have a metallic sound to it! really quite loud. Two or three big heavy bit's o'steel smacking against each other makes quite a noise Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Well if you consider cutting it off or swapping out the whole mainspring housing for one with no lanyard loop, removeable, then yes. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>  Oh well..  Since my Raptor is built from a Marsoc (or is it meusoc? nonetheless it has the same grip safety and controls etc, which I prefer to the flat style of the regular TLE/Swat II) I wanted to build the LAPD swat II off the same gun..  Also, its the only nice scw2 available at GnG..  Thanks nonetheless, I would probably just cut it off or exchange the mainspring housing with another WA owner wanting a lanyard.  Sao, ah well, The pictures will have to do, since I'll never have the cash for a steel kit  cheers Link to post Share on other sites

hardboiledcop Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 looks amazing! although it could do with some real hogues or some nice wooden grips  how does it fire with the metal kit? (if at all )  cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 (edited) Yeah, don't worry, got some real Hogues incoming. Â Well, I haven't got it fully working yet using the intended parts.... Edited December 17, 2006 by hitmanNo2 Link to post Share on other sites

hitmanNo2 Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I've ordered the V10 kit. Let's hope hitman got the lemon... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, I would be interested to see if you encounter the same problems. Do you you know when your going to get it? Link to post Share on other sites
Mathub Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 End of the week. I had lot of issues with my cdp2, but after a lot of work it works "nearly" fine. I lke challenge. Â Have you tried full size 1911 mags in your v10 ? Because the mag release notch on short mags is not the same as long ones. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I haven't actually. I'll try tonight with the 10 rounder, it's probably twice as big as the V10. Â I think the V10 will provide a worthy challenge and keep you occupied for a bit. Then i'll be able to ask you how to fix all the problems I have with mine heh heh. One thing I would be very interested to know is whether your blowback chamber fits with copper clip thing installed. As it seems that was causing a lot of my friction problems, as it wouldn't allow the blowback chamber to sit properly in the slide. With it removed, it's way better. Link to post Share on other sites
Mathub Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Try with the 7 rounders first. I always put the little cooper clip in my prime slides. I found that helps cycling. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 OK, i'll try with the 7 rounders. But I have a feeling that some mods are needed to the notch on the compact mag to work in a fullsize cutdown frame. So I imagine it's the same for standard mags in a compact. Â Well, when I put the copper clip in, it just wouldn't clip over the edge of the blowback chamber. I took it out, made sure there was nothing in the way and tried again. It wouildn't go in. I tried again without the clip and it went in fine and stayed secure. So again, it would be interesting to see if you have the same problem. Link to post Share on other sites
Holmes Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Just got some hogues for my Marsoc, and I don't think I can ever go back to anything else again. So comfy Link to post Share on other sites
