I have to thank you for giving me the idea to file down the locking lugs in the slide. I was also able to make a DIY fixed OB from a stock one by also filing out the "hook" part to be the same as on an aftermarket fixed OB and then using epoxy to fill in the part in front of where the chamber would be. Night and day in accuracy from the unmodified tilting barrel. Cheapest DIY upgrade ever! I don't even need to upgrade anything else haha.
OMG THANK YOU FANTASTIC INFO just getting into air soft love tinkering just did a barrel a short stroke mapleleaf buckingon a lancer niteshade and you just typed it off with fitment shoots amazing can't thank you enuff😊😊
I think adding a ceramic+ptfe coating meant for real steel could do wonders. Coating the rails of the frame, the slide and outer barrel could potentially prevent wear, especially when combined with proper lubricant on top.
I'm guessing I can do these fitment mods on a 1911, right? I've an AW/WE 1911. I saw a different video using epoxy as shim for the chamber and the frame, as well as inside the outer barrel. Your method is less invasive, I will have to try this. Btw is it the o rings that made the outer barrel fixed or are you using a barrel with a grub screw to fix it to the chamber? Also, are the nozzle and bbh of we/aw 1911 single stack compatible with aftermarket slides meant for tm 5.1 hicapa?
Any tips for fitment of steel outer barrels where when the slide cycles it slams agents the outer barrel near the ejection port. Mine makes a metal smacking sound every time I shoot it now and I know it causing a lot of extra wear
The same thing happens on mine. It’s mostly normal wear but sometimes an aftermarket nozzle can help. I also suggest filing down/totally removing the locking lugs on the slide.
how is yours going? I have a KJW slide fit to am steel barrel almost perfectly. but of course the locking lugs grid on the barrel hood. Since its aluminum on steel the lugs wears down to fit the barrel over time.
With the Xtreme you can use any slide, but the cuts on the BBU are specific to full auto setup, and the internals are slightly different, so you need to use specific BBUs.
the original TM design should have just used a simple blowback mechanism. a fixed inner barrel with a cosmetic tilting sleeve is form over function, or people actually prefer form over function?
From ALL the gas leaking at the end of the video you clearly see you have not a proper seal between the hop up unit and the nozzle this is the reason why you need some play, it is NOT the slide that place the nozzle to the chamber but it is the Barrel itself first then the slide push Both the nozzle and the Hop up unit already sealed, into place. About the Slide locking I agree it is just replica from the real 1911. Nice video
ok im a newbe to this stuff. i have a tm goldmatch and im trying to fit a masterpiece threaded outerbarrel but there is absolutely no way of it even comming close to fit.. is it a me problem or a fitting problem
@@GaosenKinetics AIRSOFT MASTERPIECE STEEL THREADED OUTERBARREL 5.1 (copied from website of battleflair where i got it) it litteraly doesnt fit in any way not in the gm slide and not together with the hopunit in the frame without the slide. It fits the hopup unit but thats about it..
That teflon tape trick is sick. I'm going to start doing that definitely
New subscriber and new to Airsoft at 63 years old. Dam allot of money to this game! Have a fantastic day and great video
Damn. That black one would look great on my new project🔥Great guide!

Amazing! 10x for the tips :)
This was great! Thank you for taking the time to create this vid!

Extremely helpful... thanks For the idea bro
Nice vid man! going to use those tricks for sure!
awesome vid man
Love this video, please build more content like this sir, thanks
Thanks for practical tips.

This is so good to know!!! Thank you so much❤
Very informative,thanks for sharing
Great Bro !!!
Good shit
Hi there, would you be able to provide the oring size you use to for shimming the inner to the outer barrel?
Thanks you for the great guide!
Usually an 8x2mm oring will work, but it depends on specifically what barrel you're using.
I'm guessing I can do these fitment mods on a 1911, right? I've an AW/WE 1911. I saw a different video using epoxy as shim for the chamber and the frame, as well as inside the outer barrel.

My slide has a slight left to right wiggle. Is there anything I can do about that?

Please do a slide figment “blowback nozzle and bucking” can’t get the correct suction on the nozzle
what type of tracer do you have? Does the thread match the tracer?
another question with the xtreme we can place any slide or it is a specific slide as we have always said
With the Xtreme you can use any slide, but the cuts on the BBU are specific to full auto setup, and the internals are slightly different, so you need to use specific BBUs.
can i use the o ring mod if im not using fixed barrel?
this oring which you use is 9x2mm?
Hello excellent video the top Please tell me where I can buy its aluminum outer barrels from Europe thank you for your answer
These will be available soon, I'll update when I've confirmed european stores.
the original TM design should have just used a simple blowback mechanism. a fixed inner barrel with a cosmetic tilting sleeve is form over function, or people actually prefer form over function?
But where i can buy this orings?
does these fit in 1911 slides?
hi where buy this???? thnx bro
I live in Canada and am having a hard time finding parts for my recently purchased TM 5.1 Gold Match.
Any insight on this?
What Outer barrel is that? Those coloured alu tornado barrels ? Were can you buy Them ?
One question thou, why did it full auto?
This was built on a TM Xtreme 4.3 full auto hi-capa, so that I can give it more of a stress test than a normal hi-capa.
@@GaosenKinetics got it.. ty
Im still new to airsoft. Where do you buy the customized barrels at?
Any chance you know the size of the o rings you used?

Nice video
Can you buy a stock tm outer barrel or do you just have to upgrade.
Is the tornado barrel from lacapa?
Where did you get those o rings from? What size are they?😄
Where did you buy the paper labels?
Can i use em on hi capa 4.3 aeg
ok im a newbe to this stuff. i have a tm goldmatch and im trying to fit a masterpiece threaded outerbarrel but there is absolutely no way of it even comming close to fit.. is it a me problem or a fitting problem
Where and how is it not fitting? Also exactly what AM barrel is it?
@@GaosenKinetics AIRSOFT MASTERPIECE STEEL THREADED OUTERBARREL 5.1 (copied from website of battleflair where i got it) it litteraly doesnt fit in any way not in the gm slide and not together with the hopunit in the frame without the slide. It fits the hopup unit but thats about it..
hey man could you tell me what outer barrel that is on ur purple hi capa at the start 1:00
The black steel one there is a 5KU. Very cheap but also very bad tolerances and may require fitment to work.
@@GaosenKinetics oh ok thank you, do you know any good barrels for cheap? im just looking for a smooth black barrel
@@GaosenKinetics also is that the barrel that has the set screws or the normal one?
@@_mcinii6906 that's a fixed outer barrel
