Funny how I was just watching knuckle putting these pieces together and now watching you just gives me so much affirmations. Thank you for all that you do. The community need more of this.
Nice to see someone who actually tells me what metal and alloys the pistol uses and doesn't bullshit me with OMG LOOK IT HAS PURPLE HOP RUBBER and other nonsense
Amazing vid! Quick question, can i use a TM spec: Trigger, Hammer, Thumb safety, Grip safety, with the stock ssp5 frame? I like the stock frame as it has the screw holes for the holser adapter, but would like to add a lil colour to those parts!
Hello, I am try to build one from scratch, but I can't get the plastic recoil spring plug. Would it fit if I use a regular hicapa 4.3 slide spring plug? Thank you.
Do you know if it's worth trying to ilprove gas efficiency ? Is changing the piston head for a better and ventilated one worth it ? What about bucking change to improve hop ? Thank you a whole lot for your awesome design and the videos. Love your chill vibe!
A slightly longer o-ring piston would help, not a lot. The stock bucking hops and shoots straight, but you can try the PDI W hold or Modify X-range and see if you like it.
What is the size of the stock SSP5 frame? From pictures it looks like a 4.3? I'm thinking of scratch building an SSP5 but want to still attach the front end to the frame. Either with the stock clamp block or drilling a hole in the aftermarket frame for the bolt. I think one of the best features of this gun is the fixed front end. I noticed some (if not all - minus the stock gun of course) of the builds in this video omit the front locking design.
What's your experience with 5ku frames did you have any problems with fitment? I'm thinking of buying one for my custom hi capa and the 1/3 of the price of an AM frame is pretty tempting but I'm not sure about fitment.
@@wyz2285 I put the modify x-range bucking into my 4.3 ssp5 and no matter how loose i put the bucking or how tight my bbs are flying up do you know why?
quick question if i buy 5ku middle frame can i use stock ssp5 safety, beavertail, and hammer on it? or should i just get the 5ku safety and beavertail aip hammer also can i clamp the front part of the ssp5 with the 5ku middle frame 4.3 size on my ssp5
You can use everything except the hammer, the SSP5/KJ hammer is not 100% TM spec. You need to dremel/mill the front slide if you want to fit 4.3 frame and have clamping. The Creatical chamber fits with very little wobble so I'd use a shorter frame to save the trouble.
alr thanks! another question if you dont mind so do i just remove the clamp thing and just use the screw ill be using 3.9 5ku frame and do you think it would be a good upgrade to buy a 140% nozzle spring and maybe a 120% recoil spring or should i just stick with ssp5

Gotta say it is pretty baller of the designer of the gun to make videos like this... Who else does that? Like a sir!

They should fit.
My hammer is getting stuck to my BBU, sometimes its full auto-ing, and has misfeeding. What can I do to fix these?
How can I eliminate the wobble between the SSP5 slide and the 5KU Type 4 frame while using the Silent Industry hop-up unit?

Great video,, thanks!
Do the pieces of the hi capa fit the ssp5?
Does the ssp5 require a hammer protection pad?
Had mine for about a week.
And i can clearly see marks on the frame from the hammer 🙂
It settles down, but avoid dry firing it without a mag.
Hello, I have the same question, could I put an AIP hammer protector?
Great video! I would like to ask if SSP5's magwell is compatible with Hicapa?
Slightly different, that's why I changed the frame and grip
Thank you, my friend

I don't notice any difference in performance in not clamping it, but if you want to screw it to the frame, get a 4.3 advanced frame.
what is the thumb safety on those 3 pistols?

Fits fine so far, I have 3
can you replace the whole blowback unit for .2/.25 bbs or just the nozzle?
Only need to change the nozzle.

@@esl5k16 the nozzle spring sure, dont change the recoil spring.
ok what percent do you think is good or in your opinion should i just use the stock one? can i remove the front clamp?
useful info, ty!
You painted the black and white one right?
No
@@wyz2285 where did you get the back slides
Just regular slide sanded
@@wyz2285 did you paint the slides? I'm trying to get different colors but can't find them anywhere
