Photos of your Airsoft equipment (Discussion)

Hey Horse84,

Thanks for posting your photos, it always nice to see Custom Pistols

1911s were always particularly popular, probably due to the amount of custom parts available for them, but I haven't seen too many on the Boards ?

Having said that, I think my first 3 Airsoft pistols were a KSC USPc, KSC Glock 19 and Sig Sauer P226.
I'm very unfortunate in that I love nearly all guns, everything feels good in my easy to please hand, except a H&K P7M13 with its incredibly bulky grip, but you can get used to that too

I'm sure there must be a few more people out there who can surprise us with some nice shots of their custom pistols

I tried but no one seemed to like my hi-capa
it's funny I own a lot of pistols but no 1911's I had an army R27 years ago and that kind of turned me off them.

Well it was more popular than my MEUs
So I wouldn't worry about it

I think a lot of people glance through photos and don't realise there is a thank you button there, I personally don't post photos to be praised, I've always loved looking at others peoples photos of their Airsoft Gear, so I like to contribute, but you do kind of loose momentum to take photos, upload them to a photo sharing site, copying and pasting links and then only receive a few likes for the effort, it leaves you unsure is anybody actually interested or even looking at them, and are you just wasting your time and effort, then again it's only Airsoft

Out of interest, when you spend that sort of money on a custom pistol do you actually ever use it? honest question, I'm kind of scared of damaging them sometimes.

That's down to personal preference whether you want to skirmish or just plink your custom pistols, or even lock them in the safe to become Queens

But to be honest most probably don't fire any better than a stock TM Glock 17 and that's the reality of it, with a few exceptions of course

Love the pistols lads, some very nice stuff. Can I ask, is it sacrilege to butcher an innokatsu?

Nice MGS 1911, I'm sure there were hours or months of fun to be had building that, personally I draw the line at drilling holes through triggers - there goes another finger
Fair play to you in finding a Jeweller (friend) to do the engraving, always handy to know. I'm building a Kimber Warrior SOC, so I might be in contact with you for the SOC
Have you got any other Nice custom pieces, or is that your baby ?
I think the longest I spent building a 1911 was 4-5 hours, I don't think I'd have the patience to wait over a year, it's a real shame some of the parts weren't available, like the trigger and grips, as it would have really sped the build process up, as the gun is huge in Japan.
Either way - Nice Work.

PS - I don't understand your Inokatsu question, you want to get one or you have one which you want to further customise ???

@Squad701, Hey bud, are most of your pistols Cerakoted by the kit maker?, or do you send them off to get done yourself?.

Hey there,
I got a bit tired of getting badly surface marked Nova parts, so eventually decided to get most of my 1911 control-parts Cerakoted.
Most of the Nova/Prime kits have already got a fairly good standard of finishing including their coatings, its just a personal choice if you want to get the slide/frame Cerakoted for reasons of changing-colours, protection, giving a badly marked kit a new lease of life, whatever.
Did I mention its quite expensive ? with parts having to get sand-blasted and colour baked on, its not going to be cheap.
As far as I'm aware the only firearms Cerakoting service in this end of Europe is Riflecraft in Norfolk, UK.
I don't think any Airsoft Guns have come out Cerakoted until the last 12 months when Prime made the Costa Ludus Recon 1911 kit for a Japanese company who later had it Cerakoted and laser-engraved in Japan.
Also the recently released Guns Modify Costa SAI Glock kit was initially Duracoated, but due to poor results was later Cerakoted, well that was the word on the grapevine anyway.
I hope some of this information might help, but if you want to look at a few pictures, try the following link :

@Squad701, I'm planning a project some time soon and want to get parts cerakoted namely a reciever and RIS. I looked into riflecraft already but never got round to ringing them for a quote, out interest how much did it set you back, for the slide and frame, shipping etc?.

I have a good friend who has had a few receivers done by Riflecraft,
It's close to £70 for upper and lower receiver to be done.

I can't remember how much I payed for the 1911s I had done, it was about £50-£60 if my memory serves me right.
P&P was about £10-£15 but it was registered express and very fast at that.

Cheers.

sorry man, credit where credit isn't due ! I didn't engrave it !
it's a body kit for a we glock bloody thing is a nightmare to get together, it's taken 2 days of sanding, filing and polishing to get it working as all the parts are a few microns out so everything is too tight to move.

I have it at the stage where it's firing fine now but the slide is still ever so slightly too tight. it's so close to just right that I think i'll just let it wear down through use rather than risk filing it too much.

Thanks mate

@ MAFO
Liking the sniper dude its finally finished i see(or is it).

Is not finished yet. Bi-pod is missing and silencer is not filled. I though about 3D printed baffles but I'll use foam rings ( due to legal reasons ).

U'll have to bring it out one day.I'd love to get the r hop fitted to the mauser but think it would be wasted in the standard hop up unit as the barrel window is very small.

Just cut bigger window in the barrel. I have 12 mm R-hop patch fitted in my m4.

brenak47 wrote: »

Ah just a few little bits 2 to then.I thought about cutting it but the hop up rubber in the mauser is not much bigger than a pistol one where as the pdi u can use aeg hop up rubbers.Thats why i didn't try it didn't want to mess the barrel up.Ah thats why your m4 has some crazy range and accuracy.Is the r hop a pain to fit like alot of people say as i would try it in my raider.

It is not hard, just cutting out the window takes some time. Pm me your address, I will post you some proper silicone tubbing.

She's looking great DP. I like the front grip. I think I saw one on a RS F2000 and was quite interested in it. Is it a RS accessory or were you able to find a copy?

Thanks matey, that is a RS one but they are copies of them I believe, I could be mistaken but I nearly sure I seen them on RSOV, can't remember if they had their own name for them or not . But feels better in hand and their narrower than afg's in general.
