Spring guide for we 1911

bleaches · January 17th, 2009, 01:23

it fits though oddly enough XD it just sticks out a little bit over the slide from what i recall. i personally run a bull barrel with a hollow guide rod housing myself now lol

You've used one of those on a WE?

Doesn't it have the TM-style rail on the bottom, which would prevent it from fitting?

Dude I'm confused lol I can I buy a WA or TM barrel, barrel bushing, spring guide, and a recoil spring plug then it will fit? Or do TM or WA outer barrels even fit in a we?

as far as bull barrels and chambers are concerned yes TM fits perfectly. now the spring plug(i have the hollow version) with the full length guide rod sticks out my wilson combat about 1mm from the end of the actual slide.

im not in Canada now so i cant take any pictures, but if you discard the bushing idea. all TM spring plug +chamber nd such would fit just fine. but if you want the one i showed you i cant promise it wont stick out 1mm like the hollow one on my wilson combat.

This is what i got for my Wilson Combat :
Shooters design

Nova

+Airsoft surgeons 150+ spring set.

it runs flawlessly. im not sure if the hollow spring plug with the guide rod is suppose to stick out as opposed to this one:

but i would suggest asking redwolf or WGC to measure that one and compare the length to the one i use. if it is the same then u cant use it as the spring plug will stick out too much for the bushing to lock. but if u wanna run my setup then go for it. it works great and makes 80% of the slide wobble go away.

The stock TM plug (as well as the Guarder reinforced, and possibly others) have a rail under it, which does NOT fit the WE.

Thats why I was curious about those NOVA ones. And if they were a correct drop-in fit.

You could also just buy a complete upper, like this:

Based on those comments, it sounds like a TM/WE HiCapa slide would be a drop-in fit on the WE 1911... anyone ever try? Any have both and wanna try?

I'm hoping on getting the 2 uppers on Evike when I get paid this coming Friday, will report in if they fit if I do.

Sweeeet.

I have put WE slides on TM and Vise versa. The TM slides have a small rail screwed inside the left side that needs to be removed. The Nova slides (for tm) do not use this part and are designed more like a Hi-capa slide internally. Both work fine on both guns. I have a Guarder TM 1911 slide mounted on a WE 1911 in my collection right now. For the most part, the slide & slide internals are TM 1911, but the internals of the frame are TM Hi-cappa, sears hammers etc.

bleaches · January 19th, 2009, 11:37

what he ^ mostly said. the WE 1911 is actually based off the TM Hi-Capa, all round, however they made it fit into a WA frame. so the fitment is a little odd. now according to the WE guy he said yes the TM Hi-Capa Slides will fit, however he cant garantee it to run smoothly as the internals of the lower is placed alittle differently as far as ports being a little forward or backwards on the lower frame. so yes it will fit, as for if it will run well, thats depending on the tolerence of the internal fitments.

now i think i might buy a Hi-Capa compatible Kimber-ish slide to try it out lol...

HeadlessChicken · January 19th, 2009, 17:49

OK cue the newb question...Won't the original internals fit a Hi Capa slide bypassing the issue or are those incompatible too?

Not sure, but my original thinking when I came across possible compatibility with TM/WE hicapa slides was that you could just drop on a quality slide+internals.

Not only for the long guide rod/bull barrel, but any of the large assortment made-for-hicapa slides, including classic 1911 type ones.

That would do away with any troublesome/unreliable/broken parts in the WE, and is a relatively easy and inexpensive solution since those parts aren't restricted.

takealap · January 20th, 2009, 18:25

So I can buy a tm hi capa slide and all of my internals in my regular slide will fit? I thought that the we 1911 can we hi capa had different size barrels?

bleaches · January 21st, 2009, 06:50

same barrels as far as Hi-capa and 1911s are concerned

takealap · January 22nd, 2009, 17:37

I dont think I see the rail on this one, but they say its for the tm 1911 gov http://airsoftatlanta.com/images/NB_...OD_SET_jpg.jpg
