ruchik Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I've been looking for a long guide rod for my MEU for a while. I want the X-fire long recoil spring guide set with the plug, guide, and recoil spring guide thingie that goes in the middle of the set. Will it fit my MEU that uses a bushing, or it only for bushingless 1911's? And is th eonly place I can order this from the X-fire website? Link to post Share on other sites
hkssr20det Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 The X-Fire sets are all for bushing 1911s (all bushing less ones have long recoil guides). There should be no problem fitting it, but I have never tried. The only place I have personally seen those sets was X-Fire. Another option that would work it the WA stock parts. Den and WGC carry them in both silver and black. They are complete, drop in fits. Link to post Share on other sites
Wai Hoong Chan Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I think this setup would look great with a 2Tone slide <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yeah I suppose so, to go with the silver controls Link to post Share on other sites
Mathub Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 dave, is this the prime aluminium barrel/chamber ? Looks like steel. Link to post Share on other sites
davedawg123 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Yeah, it is a Prime aluminum chamber/barrel. Finish is pretty good. Looks like steel but the weight gives it away. Link to post Share on other sites

my_plague_666 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 i think all silver with hogues would look good. Link to post Share on other sites
hkssr20det Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I like it better with the wood grips, but what it really needs are the Wilson Combat G10 grips. Link to post Share on other sites
Wai Hoong Chan Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 yeah you're right, unfortunatly the buyer didnt have the orginal black grips Link to post Share on other sites
urbandork Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 its far from finished and the threaded barrel still needs some work as it was about 1/4 inch too short and thus i have a spacer to bring the silencer out to where it needs to be. I also had to shorten the guide rod by about 1/4 inch as it didnt clear the silencer initially. I plan on putting a custom 23 to 26 cm inner barrel with a high flow valve and some other goodies like a steel chamber and possibly a custom barrel since the Power Edge aluminum one is to short.

axl Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Very nice, shame you don't have two Kimber's. When i first saw the pic i thought it was a pair, and that would be very impressive. It has quite a bit of pressence doesn't it Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
flipsnip Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 need to pick up the camera from home so i can take some proper pics. Scanned ones will do for the time being. And if this damn vcr stops me buying any guns for a while i mite just end up ordering a nice metal kit for the kimber! Link to post Share on other sites
krame Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Yay! I'm part of the 1911 family. Heres pics of my new WE 1911. Link to post Share on other sites
Souske Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Wow, nice pictures. You make that WE look really nice! (well, better than my WE at least). Link to post Share on other sites
luvs2shoot Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 that's a WE?? wow how are they? can u give a quick review? i want a full metal 1911 REALLY bad (was watching BHD. lol). plz plz plz. short and sweet review? emphasis: performance feel weight size does the paint come off like other WE's? is the gun "solid" (none of that "shaky" feelings of the dragons" how much thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Souske Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) My WE 1911 has the 'shaky' feeling you're describing. I have the "tactical'/modern model, but it's close enough to the Gov A1 model since you seem interested in that. Performance isn't bad..it's a hard hitter, weight's good, and size is like your standard 1911. Paint will wear off on the edges of some parts (like the safety lever and slide lock) eventually. At some places, you can get the A1 gov model for $100. It's not a bad gun, but it can be finicky. There's usually a solution to these quirks, but for the price...you can't beat it.

ruchik Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Check out the review section, as well as the reader's review section. There's a few reviews of the WE 1911's floating around there. Link to post Share on other sites
mremerica Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Needs Pachmayr’s really, they are on the to-buy list. Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Are those weighted WA Grips on their at the moment? If so i'll buy some Pachmeyers and trade you if your interested. Link to post Share on other sites

r.ocelot Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 SCW2 one is fantastic, SCW3? Might want to wait for WA to step up their QC or for them to make a new SCW4 line. Link to post Share on other sites
hkssr20det Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) Yeah I would look for a Kimber TLE/RL II (which were SCW2) and buy real steel Gunner's for it. The SCW3 guns (which the Warrior is) are just not that stable for green gas use. Edit: That also looks like a MARSOC, not a Warrior.
