The first major component that I would replace is the blowback housing or blowback unit. Just like the Covert, I used the Airsoft Surgeon Super Lightweight Speed Blowback Housing for the Tactical Entry because it is about 50% lighter than the original BBH of TM.
The next internal part I replaced is the hop-rubber. I used the Laylax-Nineball hop rubber because it is believed by many to provide better sealing. Based on the Covert that I built, this hop rubber works like magic as just a small turn of the hop towards the "on" position from the "zero/off" position gave me a very straight, consistent BB flight.
Now here comes the interesting part. When I built the Covert, my M.E.U. was already using a PDI 6.01 Palsonite inner barrel. After finishing the build and testing the gun out, the Palsonite barrel-Nineball hop rubber combination works wonders. In this Tactical Entry build, I planned to use the Nineball 6.03 inner barrel to see which combination works better. (I will post the results in a different entry)
Again, like the Covert, this custom build used other internal upgrade parts that are already included in the kits. The upgraded recoil spring is included in the Hurricane conversion kit and the steel sear is included in the Nova hammer set.
In my next post, I will discuss the steps in building the slide!
Just a special thanks to all my readers, followers, and supporters...even though there's not that many of you yet. Thanks!
Wired out.
my airsoft surgeon light weight housing wont let the trigger engage.
ReplyDeletegot any ideas how to fix.
i have a TM xtreme .45 hi capa
is the blowback housing the only part that you replaced? i'm thinking it might not have anything to do with the blowback housing if you disassemble the frame. you might have misplaced a spring or the notch that engages the knocker. or if you removed the mainspring housing and the grip safety, and the 3-finger spring, you might want to check if the fingers are in the correct position when you re-install it.
ReplyDeleteif however, the blowback housing is the only part that you replaced, and that you only worked on the slide, i'm thinking maybe because the hi-capa extreme is full auto, maybe (I'm not very sure), the airsoft surgeon blowback housing is not compatible with the extreme model. as you might know already, other 1911s and hi-capas are only in semi auto. I'll try to ask my friends who have extreme models and will let you know as soon as I get an info about it.
Thanks! Hope this helps.
hello again spardy! i've done a little research and found out that the blowback housings for hicapa5.1 and 4.3 tactical custom, and for the 1911s are different from the one in the hicapa4.3 extreme. so i think intalling the airsoft surgeon BBH is not a good idea for the extreme as it is for 1911s and regular hicapas only. thanks! hope this helps.
