TM Hi Capa 5.1 Project

T_A_N_K · October 27th, 2007, 04:27

Because I saw Nova's I decided to snap some photos of mine and post her up. This thing is a damn money pit.

Has the following upgrades:

Guarder Steel Recoil Spring Guide
Guarder Enhanced nozzle
Shooters Design Metal Chamber
Shooters Design Metal Outer Barrel
Shooters Design Metal Piston Head Set for Marui Hi-Capa Series
Shooters Design 150% Recoil Spring & Hammer Spring Set
PGC Aluminium Slide for Marui Hi-Capa ( Springfield, Black )
NINE Ball Hammer Spring Housing (Lanyard Hook Type)

Also accompanied with an M3 Tactical Light

Right now, I'm probably looking to change the grip frame. Anyways enjoy!

I like. Not as... riced out as some of the 5.1's seen on the forum, but more tactiCOOL and functional.

Are you going to be swapping out the lower frame for a metal one?

ILLusion · October 27th, 2007, 15:48

There are no metal grip frames in existence, not even for real steel, afaik.

Hi-Capas are based on the three-piece 2011 / double-stack design, which is considerably different from the two-piece 1911 / single-stack design (excluding grip panels).

... unless you're referring to the mid-frame, in which case, it's already metal.

Oh yes, all the goodness and installation was provided by the good man above

Thats pretty much the same internal setup my Hi-Capa was running....I have that PGC slide too but I switched to a SD OPSMRP slide as the PGC one was wornout since I acquired the gun, and I am using the SAS kit to mount a silencer to hide the 7" inner barreel that I have now...

How do you like the guarder guide rod? It works so so with the Stock bushing (sticky-ish), and with my SD bushing it gets really bad, I switched back to the original silver guiderod because of it...

I don't have the hammer spring upgrades though and they are next...then it'll be a SD bushing kit and a custom made straight barrel with internally threaded end to fit the silencer adapter for the SAS kit...then I'll get a freedom art frame to eliminate the SAS kit...

as it is now...

Joe, I wonder if it's the Guarder spring guide rod that's causing the slide to not return to battery properly. Try putting the Marui guide rod back in and see if it's able to slide all the way back forward.

T_A_N_K · October 28th, 2007, 07:36

Yeah i notice its a bit sticky. When i changed it back to the stock guide rock it feels a lot smoother. Illusion, it still doesn't slide all the way back forward. The slide is sitting about roughly 1/4 inch back than usual, so I can't engage the safety

RacingManiac · October 28th, 2007, 13:56

I know from my PGC slide with the SD barrel they don't fit as well as they could be, might just be because the tolerance is different slightly between the 2.

T_A_N_K · October 28th, 2007, 14:08

Yeah we were thinking its probably the slide, however, I don't have another one to test it with. Not sure where my stock one is either.

I never had problems with that PGC slide before and I used it with an SD outer barrel / chamber set.

You could try switching to the stock slide, but it may get chewed up by the chamber.
