berkelsk Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Krame, I really enjoy seeing group shots like that. I like how you keep them all fairly simple with great lines. Keep up the good work. Link to post Share on other sites
dliberty Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 question, does anyone know where i can find a 2 tone kimber slide for a tm 1911? can i run propane in a stock tm? and if so does anyone know what my fps would be with propane, and a 6.01 barrel? im in the market for a new pistol but im still not sure what to get. i want a customizable 1911, and preferably one that has a single stack mag that doesnt stick out the botom any advice?

SamJacksonFan Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 (edited) For Marui there are lots of aftermarket parts. But Western Arms does too, with it's range of 1911s. But since you can use Marui Hicapa Slides on a Marui 1911 frame with a little adaptor piece the Marui 1911 is highly customizable. With shooters design you have the best option to find a dual tone Kimber slide. Have seen one, but I'm definitely not shure if it was a slide for WA 1911.

Stainless mag catch x2 Stainless slide stop x2 Stainless single side safety x2 Stainless thing-that-holds-the-detente-spring-for-the-safety-and-the-slide-stop (I don't know what it is called but it's the thing above the left side grip.) x2 Stainless not-a-grip-safety (I don't know what it is called either and it probably isn't out yet) x2 Black steel main spring housing (not out yet either) x2 D shaped piston head made of a decent material preferably the nineball dyna type so I get the rocket valve spring too.

gunnermaniac Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Anyone want first dibs on this bundle before I make a thread in the for sale section? Wow, that looks amazing, why would you sell that! Sadly my bank account is running dry. Hate to ask questions on here but it is not worthy of a new topic... Were do all you guys buy grips for your TM 1911, I have looked at all the HK sites I know of and only found a few grips (WGC seems the best ATM, they sell smokeys grips which look lovely) Thanks and nice 1911's Link to post Share on other sites

Post some pics, when you're onto your customizing project yea, id rather save myself some money and get a tm if its possible to get the look/performance i want out of it. any idea where i can find this adaptor for hicapa slides? problem with getting the tm though is that i think at this point i want the entire gun silver with the exception of the two tone slide, black controls and black hogue grips. anyone know what gun would be closest to this in its stock form? and does WA use the same inner barrels as tm?

CplHicks Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 As said ebay.com is the best bet. Most sellers dont mind shipping internationally. I can personally recommend the ones from Rich Hasty, ebay seller rare-n-unique. Link to post Share on other sites
dliberty Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 done some searching around and i cant seem to find a site where i can buy a silver frame for a tm or wa 1911(are the frames compatible?) anyone have any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites
krame Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 No the frames are not compatible. I don't think there are any silver frames for the TM 1911 that yo can buy individually. You have to buy the whole slide/frame kit. I have seen a few individual frames but they are not silver. Link to post Share on other sites

Ledpocket Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) Nice RCP grips. Their Micarta right? Homemade modification of WA ser80 officer grips (exactly the same ones seen on the 2 tone in the 2nd pic) If you look closely, you'll see where I filled in the counterbore that holds the colt medallion (still needs a bit of putty and sanding to blend it in) edit:speeeling and Thanks Edited January 21, 2008 by Ledpocket Link to post Share on other sites

You have to buy the whole slide/frame kit. I have seen a few individual frames but they are not silver. thanks for the info, im reely trying to get a silver 1911 with a 2 tone slide, black grips, trigger and controls, so buying the kits for the marui 1911 doesnt seem right to me if im not even going to use the slide.

Mobius Strip Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 WA SCW2 Prime Caspian Delta kit, (magwell and mainspring housing excess ground off and reblued) Slide: Caspian with 'hidden' Bomar, flat top and ribbed, SCW3 internals Frame: Caspian recon style with integral magwell (removed), SCW3 internals X-Fire threaded external barrel X Fire 6.01 inner barrel, cut down to suit above Gun styled on the Army Marksmanship Unit 1911A2's built for a test program for Special Operations units circa 2005. It just so happens that I saw that in some of the trailers for Metal Gear Solid 4, Snake appears to be using an "enhanced.45" very similar to the gun I was building (not the SIG GSR which is also seen). To be fair Snake's gun appears to be more Springfield Operator based, judging by the hammer. Also his gun appears to have a Lasermax guide rod (switch on the slide stop!) Current set up is an homage to the MGS 4 pistol, albeit with some features that I prefer, I'm not sure whether to keep this current set up or go to for the all black look, with more traditional 5" barrel and black trigger too - time will tell!
