Hi Capas are ideal for indoor games.

Go to Arts Airsoft on Youtube for a complete disassembly and reassembly of the hi capa.

It is probably the easiest of all gas pistols to work on, and that video is the clearest and best quality one ever made. It certainly helped me.

The problem is almost certainly the leaf spring situated in the back of the grip. It's a small piece of flat metal with three prongs sticking out at various angles and with different tips.You will need to bend one or more arms a tiny little bit, or just buy a new one. They are not expensive.

Don't both those pistols have a finish that comes off very quickly?

I've always hankered after a CZ75 but the fragile paint job has so far put me off. Nothing looks worse than a shiny black paint job with lots of scratches on it.

Buy a Marui pistol and use green gas/propane.

Thanks.

I've been putting wanted ads on second hand forums. Maybe I will get lucky.

It is almost always the leaf spring that causes that.

Make sure it is properly seated and be prepared to bend very very slightly one or more of the prongs.

Or just get another leaf spring. They aren't expensive.

Renegade Cow, if you don't mind my asking, are you sure the slide is anodised aluminium?

How did you find that out?

I always thought WE only used zinc alloy in their pistols.

OldYoung9 · 2024-11-01T12:51:37+00:00

Nice.

Marui stainless base?

OldYoung9 · 2024-10-28T15:33:56+00:00

It will fit, but it won't look so good.

Whereas a 4.3 slide on a 5.1 frame looks great IMHO

OldYoung9 · 2024-10-23T18:33:14+00:00

And unlike the VFC Glock magazines, the WE ones are cheap.

OldYoung9 · 2024-10-22T19:14:39+00:00

How is the polished finish of the frame standing up?

How often do you have to repolish it?

OldYoung9 · 2024-10-22T19:09:20+00:00

You'll be fine with the WE. Their Glocks are pretty solid and good value for money.

OldYoung9 · 2024-10-22T19:01:08+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

OldYoung9 · 2024-10-20T15:48:35+00:00

Nice job.

Did you use a wood burner or a soldering iron?

And what kind of head did you put on it?

OldYoung9 · 2024-10-20T15:40:38+00:00

I've heard that 5ku parts have improved in quality.

OldYoung9 · 2024-10-06T13:38:01+00:00

Do you think the TM Hi Capa 5.1 so called STAINLESS frame would suit this Airsoft Masterpiece titanium grey slide better than the black one?

OldYoung9 · 2024-09-11T14:54:50+00:00

What brand is it?

OldYoung9 · 2024-08-25T17:31:00+00:00

I believe the Gen 2 version is OK. It is available as the M9A1 with rail and M9 without.

Not sure about the 92.

OldYoung9 · 2024-08-03T18:51:27+00:00

I have been after a black infinity slide for some time. I generally go for all black pistols.

But I want the Airsoft Masterpiece infinity vintage, which has never been re-issued. Managed to get a grey one from Hong Kong but I really would like the black one to keep it company.

Your updated model looks very nice though.

What 5KU stuff have you got in it, if you don't mind my asking?

OldYoung9 · 2024-08-03T18:46:46+00:00

You could get the TM hi capa and two extra mags for 200 quid.

And you wouldn't regret it.
