phoenix360mute Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 the one with the tag on the trigger guard is ok, just looks like a tle rl II with tanish grips, but i never have likes the others tho Link to post Share on other sites
Blingmaster$$ Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 (edited) just a quick question will the prime S&W slide (its on WGC for $83) fit on a M1911A1 SCW3 Magnatech? I'm looking at getting a Magnatech to transform into a more tactical 1911, a TM 1911 ,once the metal kits come out, for a standard 1911A1, and a WA Officers model for my CCW (with the AI flow restrictor) Edited August 21, 2006 by Blingmaster$$ Link to post Share on other sites
Chrissyg Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 And are there any Kimber frames and slides that would fit the M1911A1 SCW3 Magna?? Link to post Share on other sites
jordan2139 Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 SCW2 and SCW3 slides and frames are interchangable. Link to post Share on other sites
Classicx Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 is there any reason NOT to buy a cheap magna and gut the internals into a metal kimber kit? Link to post Share on other sites
n00b3r Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Fixed hop up? Link to post Share on other sites
phoenix360mute Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 that has beeter range, and i hate the adjustable hop up any way, i never liked how you would have to feild stip just to change, mainly because i'm lazy Link to post Share on other sites
Mathub Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Problem is when you buy a cheap magna tech, there's no modern variant, so you still have to change all the controls, hammer spring housing,... in order to make a kimber. Best deal, buy the dersert warrior in scw 3 or wait for the tle and swat custom in scw3 to be released. Link to post Share on other sites
Classicx Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 every says the SCW3 hopup is fixed for some ridiculously heavy bb like .30 or something. Link to post Share on other sites
Mathub Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Depends on the gas you're using. With propane, 0,25g are fine, and in hot weather, 0,28g are perfect (used in a p14 scw with scw 3 hop, hiflow valve and longer firing pin, bb is straight ). Link to post Share on other sites
Chrissyg Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Right, well it looks like I may be getting rid of my magna, or ill have to wait until I can get some more money for a new Kimber. Link to post Share on other sites

hardboiledcop Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 just uploading the pictures of my new series 80 DX, don't shoot me but i had to use my camera phone :S.. it's 2 megapixels but it doesn't like natural lighting. hbc. Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Ok here ya go, at least we'll get some pictures of nice-looking guns on this page Out of the box I was extremely impressed with the finish of the replica, the finish is jet black, and the slide is machined to look like metal, which works to a point.. The hammer is very light (I might just be used to my Bob Chow and Raptor ) but the recoil spring seems stronger than that on my Bob Chow, the recoil is as good as the BC, which is easily the hardest kicking gun Ive fired, especially for 134a. oddly, this gun comes with a hex rench and I can see the hop-up adjustment with the slide pulled back, I was under the impression this was an scw3 gun, perhaps not. The wood grips are really nice, a little light for my tastes, I might invest in some rosewood grips for the future. This is seriously tempting me to dual up for some Chow Yun Fat style mayhem, we'll see if my bank balance allows it anyway, onto the pictures. Bear in mind I took these with my phone camera, hence the clarity is a bit off and the res wasn't particularly impressive.. I wanted to show how the finish of the slide looks compared to my full metal kimber, it definately looks good, whether it looks ultra realistic I cant really say, having never owned or indeed seen a full metal colt with this kind of finish..

phoenix360mute Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 nice mate, very tasty indeed Link to post Share on other sites
primussucks Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 (edited) Is that the $112 or so dollar gun? Edit: Scratch that, i found the $236 version on Unco. Edited August 22, 2006 by primussucks Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 (edited) indeed it is, the slide has a sort of cross-hatched finish to it, it looks great combined with the deep trades and wood grips.. *drool* It can also be manually decocked single handed, though I wouldnt suggest it while loaded hbc. edit - $112 you must be crazy foo! Cost 120GBP from Guns'n'guys.. Edited August 22, 2006 by hardboiledcop Link to post Share on other sites
