Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - FAQ for Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa, 2011, 1911, MEU & Detonics type variants

I've got a buddy doing a parts run for me from Hong Kong. I understand that some of the Capa and 1911 parts are cross compatible. I'm basically going to get parts for a Capa slide and a 1911 frame. I know I need the TK spacer part. What I'm wondering is what I should buy for the parts that contact both the slide and frame. For example, should I get a 1911 or a Capa slide stop? Will a 1911 style hammer operate with a Capa slide? Will a 1911 safety mesh with the Capa slide?

Finally, I don't own a Capa, so I need some guidance here. I understand Hi Capas don't have barrel bushings like 1911 and variants do? Do I need a Capa bushing? Some research on the net seems to indicate that the barrel, recoil spring and some other slide guts will fit, but don't operate completely well when cross-exchanged. Should I be buying Capa parts, or do I basically need a donor Capa slide to gut?
