bro you just saved my build! I was trying to figure out why my knocker was light striking when I had my full auto disconnector in, and I had just taken out some of the washers in my hammer regulator. I had just about given up until now lol
I have always wanted to make a video like this but I figure it would be a few hours long explaining all the tolerance issues, tuning and such that are actually required to build a hicapa!
@@CZGamingTVfrom my educated guess, nearly 1k frame is about 250 on its own, slide is about 120. Depending on other major parts (including the base hicapa) it's gonna be about 1000 easily
Beautiful build! You forgot to put the other barrel stabiliser on the outer barrel, you put one in the barrel and one on on the other end and sits behind the threads i believe, Im planning on making a hi capa with the jungle cat slide and La capa barrel and you’ve just confirmed that 😂 I love how it all came together in the end. Keep it up 👍
Bro. As a gunsmith and a guy who builds airsoft guns for fun. It is super bad to drop the hammer without the slide in. If you are gonna do that you should put your finger on the other side to keep it from bending the frame. Same goes for real steel 1911 and 2011s and many other pistols too
Brilliant video man, I plan on building my own hi capa slowly over time as soon as I can, gonna start with the base TM and HPA it, then when i get the money gonna upgrade the internals then externals. Hoping to end up with a black and orange build haha. Vid has been a good help in helping me understand how the build process works!!
I used to, but they never have anything in stock lol its kind of ridiculous. I've been on the notify me list for 6 different parts and haven't seen anything for about 7 months now lmao
@@pandaplayz2141 Same here, I can never find everything for one complete build unless I want it to look like a clown pew. Hopefully they start stocking up again.
I heavily recomend lubing your outter barrel. Especially if it's been custom painted. Your paintjob will survive a bit longer and your slide will travel better
It wears because of the original Tokyo marui design that made its way into current parts. There are interlocking lugs on the outer barrel and on the inside of the slide that run during action. On the TM, it didn't matter because they were plastic. Lube will not save you from the wear.
While I detest speedsoft builds, this was informative on troubleshooting my KA(TM Comp) 1911. I have used some gheto shims(screw with a few M3 washers on it) to give more tension to the Hammer spring. I also ordered some 130% Nozzle springs. it's not fully cycling and loading a new round. someone suggested its a power issue and someone else suggested stronger nozzle springs. I should get a little more power with the "shimmed" hammer spring and the nozzle shouldn't get stuck in the hop unit with the better spring.
“You dont need lube dripping Down your gun” thank you! Finally someone Else who agrees with me 😂 so Many guys on yt post build videos bathing the gun in lube
I use a high grit buffing compound by 3M for lapping the slide to the frame. It can make the "scratches" look better? It is going to rub the anodizing away either way, nothing you can do about it really. I personally over lap my slides because I KG GunKote my pistols anyway. It leaves me with perfect tolerances and no bare metal after painting. Also, everything is a perfect match color wise after. KG is a self lubricating paint/coating. It is a better product vs CeraKote, IMO.
Building is not my specialty, and I feel ignorant because I have no idea what anyone is talking about when it comes to parts. Thanks for making this vid, is helps.
I really would love to customize my Hi capa with a custom Slide. But the Problem is, theyre literally sold out everywhere. And the few i found are unable to ship to my country.
Once when I get money, I’m getting parts from armsaholic to make a custom marui John Wick Pit Vioer just how it looks in the movie. Thankfully I found this video to help me
Really cool video. I´m new to that Airsoft stuff (never played it but it looks very interesting maybe try it one day) and I wanted to ask. What does Hi-Capa mean?
I wanna build one but half the stuff you mentioned I have no idea what they are or how to determine which ones would be best for me, if I ever I meet you in person I’m about to pick your brain about it lol
I dont know for tm but kjw hammer is potmetal i broke mine and i dont play speed only casual airsoft. Tolérance issu was my biggest problem the hammer dont move freely and i dont want to modify à 80buck hammer to fit in a 100buck pistol Your build look so cool, but i dont think investing so much money is worth if the person dont play competition. But it's vers informative
Have you tried using the purple loctite instead of the blue, much lower bond strength but probably still enough to hold the screws? I’m starting build and am hesitant to use the blue on the hopup chamber screws, and wanted to try the purple instead. It is loctite 222 instead of 243. Nice build btw.
This is an awesome pistol! Question, if I were to buy a pre-built one will come with magazines or are they separate? If they are separate what magazine’s do you use?
great info especially on the detent thing, i hate that and have lost my spring now i cant move my safety nor remove it so annoying.... also why is the 4.3 frame longer then the 5.1, i have a 5.1 and its longer then the 4.3
could you elaborate in the Airsoft Masterpiece trigger bar? What advantages would I get from adjusting it? Is it much of a difference from the LA CAPA trigger bar?
@@ValiantAirsoft LoL. I just got into airsoft myself a few months back and I've already spent a few chunks myself. I like buying and working on the guns more than using them.
If you're going from the ground up all in one shot it makes sense to buy everything separate, but 99% of people are better off buying a TM base and building off the grip/frame
Love the video. I have a question. I have the same slide you have here, but I have an airsoft masterpiece limcat advanced frame. I didn't have to fit the slide to the frame like you did in this video. It also has the tiniest bit of wobble. My question is: is that ok? Does it need to be super tight?
I'm working on a Capa right now but I'm having trouble solving one issue. I've assembled everything and it cycles fine when testing manually (without a mag) but any time I try shooting it when it's pressurized it just dumps air. I'm assuming it's something with the BBU, nozzle, or hop unit but I'm not sure what it may be. Have yo7 experienced this and if yes do you know how to fix it?
This is a really stupid question but I'm just starting getting into working on my own airsoft guns and modifying my hi capa. Will a simple precision screwdriver set do or are there certain uncommon sizes of bits you have to make sure you get?
bro you just saved my build! I was trying to figure out why my knocker was light striking when I had my full auto disconnector in, and I had just taken out some of the washers in my hammer regulator. I had just about given up until now lol

You actually built your own Airsoft gun, THAT IS AMAZING!!!!

No, I've seen Airsoft. Also you'd misspelled "New".

There's definitely fun just in building them
What a beauty, loved this vid.
i still don't understand how hes building a gun. i tried and never accomplished I had to sell my parts, you did great.
i saw the thumbnail, and decided that after i watch this video, im making one of these beauties.
i just need a budget build.... which is a fantastic video idea!!
Bro just built a whole high capa gun like it’s freaking Legos
LOL
No really you’re talented
dude loves the color blue

Watching from taiwan...a filipino airsofter here.
Gun grease or thicker oil helps hold springs and other micro parts from being lost and keeps it in place… sometimes 😂😂
Nice build ❤
Thank you

Nice buiild, after Christmas, time allowing, I will try a build,
This is true art
12:09 I can't imagine how much of a headache it would be if the grip safety wasn't working properly and the pin was already in
You must try a willow bucking they are the best
Can I have that one for my birthday please I’ve been wanting this for my whole life
Not gonna happen
ima totaly try this when i can aford it. rn can only aford springers or used guns
Viton orings/green orings might be better to use :).

Is there a way you can get the people at LA CAPA CUSTOMS to build it for you?

Lets hope i can get this new job so i can finally get a good airsoft gun
Love your content bro keep it up :)

This is an awesome pistol! Question, if I were to buy a pre-built one will come with magazines or are they separate? If they are separate what magazine’s do you use?
All pistols, stock or pre-built, come with one marui magazine. I also only recommend marui mags, the guarder mag kits or prowin mags.
@@ValiantAirsoft what about a WE extended mag?
That’s a dope build. Personally, Im working on an Aap-01 build, and a 9mm Sbr by King arms build.

Cool, good lucki!
How much did the build cost? Amazing build by the way! 🔥🔥

me forgetting to turn down the volume after this video and getting my ear bombed
@ValiantAirsoft how much would you say you spend on all those parts im curious cause i wanna build my own
How much does this cost
Amazing build but I’m just wondering how much was the gun and all these parts could you let me know please👍
1500 it’s how much I spent on mines and I have less parts lol
Nice I started upgrading my hi capa and including the gun. I think I’m about 900 bucks right now.
Well done sir
Great build
could you elaborate in the Airsoft Masterpiece trigger bar? What advantages would I get from adjusting it? Is it much of a difference from the LA CAPA trigger bar?
Is it more expensive to buy a pre-built hi capa or get a base and upgrade it yourself with all the parts
Awesome video and even better Hi-Capa!!! Is it possivel to use as a base the model Tokyo Marui Hi-capa 5.1 Government edition, to this kind of build??
The 1911 is the ultimate template pistol
Thought this build.might be a little over the top for my taste but it's actually sick. Good shit man! I bet that was a good chunk of change lol.
A few chunks
@@ValiantAirsoft LoL. I just got into airsoft myself a few months back and I've already spent a few chunks myself. I like buying and working on the guns more than using them.
Can you also play it with an hpa adapter, i.e. HPA in general the way he built it?
yes, I just prefer gas mags
If your trigger "wiggle" you can use super glue , paper from notebook and paper knife
Make a collection video
Threadlock not Loctite... One of my pet peeves as an engineer.
Loctite is a brand and also make superglue, grease and other things
Whats thr difference between airsoft and speedsoft?
Speedsoft is a tournament style of airsoft
Is it better buying them individually vs buying a TM unit?
If you're going from the ground up all in one shot it makes sense to buy everything separate, but 99% of people are better off buying a TM base and building off the grip/frame
33:09 you said upgrading to a 150% for a stock slide will make it last longer, wouldn't that do the opposite by putting more stress on the slide?
Higher spring = less recoil = less impact at the end of travel = less wear imo
What is the grand total price for all this
all from scratch it can cost from $ 400 to +$1.000 easily
Perfect video for the airsoft community 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Does your thumb actually reach the thumb rest? Seems too far away.
is it better and cheaper to build your own gun or is it better to buy an already built one?
If you don't know how to build, then prebuilt is the way to go until you are accustomed to the function
Love the video. I have a question. I have the same slide you have here, but I have an airsoft masterpiece limcat advanced frame. I didn't have to fit the slide to the frame like you did in this video. It also has the tiniest bit of wobble. My question is: is that ok? Does it need to be super tight?
no that's ok
Do these parts also work in gel soft guns
Awsome brother
Can you do a glock 18c airsoft
I can't stand the Waldo nozzle spring.. I've chewed through so many it's unreal.
I ended up switching to the aip 140% and never chewed one up since
as guy who owns real guns... kinda surprised how similar a lot of the parts to this are similar to a 2011. if you know you know, but i can respect it
Can you send me the pistol the hi- Capa 4.3 because I don’t know which one to get
Min 32 that o ring is going to disturb you
Nope works great
Did you have to do any modifications to the frame ?
No mods just fitting to the slide as usual

Both
This is a really stupid question but I'm just starting getting into working on my own airsoft guns and modifying my hi capa. Will a simple precision screwdriver set do or are there certain uncommon sizes of bits you have to make sure you get?
Standard metric hex sizes and phillips
is it recommend changing the frame?
The advantage of upgrading the frame would be #1 the weight saving, and #2 smoother slide action. It is not necessary though.
I want to do it how much does it cost ?
