I want to personally thank you. Your content helps me so much . I have learned everything I know based off your content. Keep it up. I cant stop watching your videos. Thanks man
This is a really good "tutorial" for newbie getting in the Marui's 1911/Hi-cap (also Marui's Glock, in other videos), even a reminder for old hand, lots of lots of detail and good advice...Sir, I LOVE your channel!! Keep it up!! :P
just watched the video of the nozzle being put in a vice and hit with a rubber mallet, and it STILL worked, that's incredible, I'll have to pick one up.
hey knuckles, can you show us how to do your slide fitments onto the frame with the lapping compound? Im having a very hard time looking for information about this and the slide fitment you showed in this video looks good. im very afraid of destroying my frame using a dremel and hand files. Thanks!
nice vidd, just a quick question tho. do you mind doing an update video on the gunsmodify loading nozzle? was wondering if its any good or worth buying (even tho gunsmodify has a fairly good reputation in the airsoft world)
Hey knuckles! I've been watching a ton of your videos trying to learn as much as possible before I pour my money into my build. Your videos have been really helpful. My biggest question is, do you mount the c-more style mounts yourself? How difficult is it? I really don't want to screw it up and end up with a misaligned sight.
Personally I'd call the "meat and potatoes"; PDI-W Hold Bucking BBU (Edge Ultralight with HK mod) Poseidon Ice Pick (flute valve) PDI Inner Barrel (tighter for more FPS if you want ofc) 120% Spring. No need for an aluminum slide as long as you replace the spring with a 120% the plastic will survive. But yeah imo this is the holy grail, this is where you should spend your money :x. Then replace the FCG after awhile with steel component because TM pot metal is, TM pot metal!
I was wondering how much of a fps boost tighbore barrels give... because my field limit is 330 so I was wondering if putting a 6.03 or 6.01 barrel in a stock tm 5.1 would still be under 330. Thanks
I have a we hi capa and don't have enough money to buy a tm and upgrade that. So I'm wondering what is the holy grail of the we. Is it the same as the tm in this video or there another part i should change in it
Hey Knuckles. I'm fairly new to hi capa building but I've recently cracked my slide and ordered an AM battlecat slide and some new internals; blowback housing, nozzle, recoil spring etc. Just wanted to ask about the pros and cons of using tri flow to fit my slide(if you didn't mention it in any other video) just in case i run into fitment issues. Thank you!
@@KnucklesGSM I was actually thinking to use a "hybrid" of the Tri-Flow method and shoot a thousand rounds, to strike a balance between natural bedding-in and getting it to fit manually. Basically use the Tri-flow to get it to at least cycle and not get stuck, clean everything and re-lube, then start shooting it for a while.
Hi Knuckles, not sure if you'll see this but just wanted to drop a couple of quick questions. I'm considering venturing into the world of hi-capa's and I was wondering if the Gold Match is worth the extra money over the normal 5.1 hi-capa? I had a look but I couldn't actually find what differences there were beyond colouration. Beyond that I'm also considering putting together some form of Custom Colt 1911 build in the future and I was curious to know if the hi-capa would be suitable for this or if I'd be better just getting one of the TM Colt's? Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
hey bud, i personally do not like the gold match myself, i stick with the 5.1 black or the 4.3s. the only time i will recommend the gold match is when someone wants a gold build, they can save money on aesthetics because most gold aftermarket parts are expensive.
@@KnucklesGSM Thank you for the quick response, it's greatly appreciated. To be honest I was looking at going one of two ways with a build. I either wanted to reproduce one of the S&W 1911's (can't seem to find a slide) or maybe just go for a longer term completely personalised build. One point of consideration I was looking at was retaining the ability for it to lock back while possibly short stroking it but I'm unsure how viable this is. Once again, thank you for your videos. They're very informative and are great for ideas. I've still got a 226 which I'm doing minor work on but it's at the stage where I'm happy with it for now.
Two questions... Do you have any extra PDI barrels for sale? And what kind of maintenance do you have to do to your gun when using propane over green gas?
hey I'm having some issues with my tm and was wondering how much would it me for you to find my issues and fix them i live near patriot and go there pretty often ps:i know the issue is with the nozzle and the blowback housing
hey i bought a tm hi-capa and ran it until the back sight broke off can i still run it in this config, or should i stop and put my money into a new slide and gas internal for the gun
What is you opinion on running a mock suppressor and an extended inner barrel in a TM Hi Capa? Can the gun support that kind of weight out front? I think thats what I want to do with my build if the gun can support it
I'd realy like to see you tune a trigger/leaf spring, i know you have said you dont want to be responsible for people destroying their guns and thats your call, but damn i'd love to know what to bend to do what :) Also i ordered some Murder Oil from Airsoft Taiwan, I'm realy looking forward to trying it, so thank you for the heads up on that :D ) EDIT: I'm sorry i posted this before i watched the whole thing, my bad!
Hi bro you look like meat meat to me :P And I like to see your video :) Good job and introduce :) My TM hi capa gold is on the way to my house :P So your video is very helpful for me I THINK :P
Your a really cool dude. And you are an awesome tech. I wouldn’t be into airsoft without you. Thanks bro, your awesome.

***** yea that video is crazy man!
ok, thx for the help and also the quick respond, keep up the good work :)
You ARE the master!
"she said that" 😂😂 didn't see that coming 😂😂
Great advice, thanks!
hey knuckles, can you show us how to do your slide fitments onto the frame with the lapping compound? Im having a very hard time looking for information about this and the slide fitment you showed in this video looks good. im very afraid of destroying my frame using a dremel and hand files. Thanks!
nice vid!
I kinda did it the way around, started with TBB 6.01 and stuff.
thanks bud and nothing wrong with that haha
yw!
Yeah but I'm going to buy a 5.1 hybrid slide, so need to change some of my 4.3 stuff i bought into 5.1... stupid but ok.
Do you think this is good ?
PDI 6.01 with hop up nineball wide use air seal
nice vidd, just a quick question tho. do you mind doing an update video on the gunsmodify loading nozzle? was wondering if its any good or worth buying (even tho gunsmodify has a fairly good reputation in the airsoft world)
its pretty solid no doubt and he provides a warranty on it..mine is still going strong in the chris costa setup, cheers!

My biggest question is, do you mount the c-more style mounts yourself? How difficult is it? I really don't want to screw it up and end up with a misaligned sight.
Urban Airsoft CQB you need a tap set and steady hands or a drill press, i think if youtube it, someone shows how to do it
Personally I'd call the "meat and potatoes";
PDI-W Hold Bucking
BBU (Edge Ultralight with HK mod)
Poseidon Ice Pick (flute valve)
PDI Inner Barrel (tighter for more FPS if you want ofc)
120% Spring.

I've owned a few pistols but they all seem to fail relatively quickly, what gun would you suggest as the most durable yet powerful weapon?
I just used a small sharp blade and took the paint of the pistol grip and slide no probs!
What companies make slides that are tight like that so you can get a good fit?
I was wondering how much of a fps boost tighbore barrels give... because my field limit is 330 so I was wondering if putting a 6.03 or 6.01 barrel in a stock tm 5.1 would still be under 330. Thanks
AidanAirsoft stick with a 6.03
Count how many times he says realistically
Joseph realistically it doesn’t matter
I get you weren't trying to hate, but think of what you say and give the hicapa master a break.
I didn't notice. I pay attention to what his is teaching.
Are there any places in California where you could get airsoft master piece slides
@KnucklesGSM
I have a we hi capa and don't have enough money to buy a tm and upgrade that. So I'm wondering what is the holy grail of the we. Is it the same as the tm in this video or there another part i should change in it
if you dont have enough money, then just save up! but in the end, you get what you want, its your money after all.
Cheers!
*brakes glass with force*
What is the best upgrade nozzle for the price and outer barrel for a 4.3 hi CAPA also do the WE outer barrels work?
I see u like propane . In your opinion is it better to use propane ?? Where can I get an adapter for the tank to fill? I have a t.m. 5.1 D.O.R.
Hi, how many inches should the inner barrel for the hi capa be? 5,6 or 7 inches?
Hey Knuckles.

for fitting its okay but just make sure theres no rubber/plastic anywhere and clean it off when done
@@KnucklesGSM I was actually thinking to use a "hybrid" of the Tri-Flow method and shoot a thousand rounds, to strike a balance between natural bedding-in and getting it to fit manually.

Two questions... Do you have any extra PDI barrels for sale? And what kind of maintenance do you have to do to your gun when using propane over green gas?
you need to maintain the orings in the magazine and the piston pretty much. lube slide as regular too. pdi only for locals to me (HSP)
cool. Can you heat the mags too as you would with green gas? And how much do you sell for?
hey I'm having some issues with my tm and was wondering how much would it me for you to find my issues and fix them i live near patriot and go there pretty often
ps:i know the issue is with the nozzle and the blowback housing
Chase B im only based on local work, meaning youd have to meet me at hsp and it depends on what the case is
Tm 5.1 Or 4.3 what do you recommend that is more easy to upgrade if they are equal which would you believe is better
5.1 has more parts available for sure
What are the 3 brands of loading nozzles you listed? Only made out guarder lol
guarder, airsoft surgeon, shooter design and we tan
Where do you get the rubber buffers for the spring guide?
a-airsoft.com
Where do you buy your parts? I want to get a hicapa but there don't seem to be that many parts in stock out there.
Hailstorm Airsoft check my new video on where i buy stuff
I just saw it thanks!
do you recommend polishing the rails for an advanced frame?
only if you know what your doing
hey i bought a tm hi-capa and ran it until the back sight broke off can i still run it in this config, or should i stop and put my money into a new slide and gas internal for the gun
Chase B thats purely up to you, but yea id probably stop and get a new slide :P
What is you opinion on running a mock suppressor and an extended inner barrel in a TM Hi Capa? Can the gun support that kind of weight out front? I think thats what I want to do with my build if the gun can support it
i dont like it at all, but more power to you, i just end up getting a bigger slide, comp setup, or nineball sas kit
How should I contact you to discuss having you build me the gun? I'm a master of AEGs but fitting the slide I'm not so sure about.
facebook is fine, but for people who are actually serious, i send them to my gmail
Could you inbox it to me?
Reece Mechanical my facebook is facebook.com/knucklesgsm
Could you do the same vid but for the tokyo marui glock 17 or 18 or both
+TrollololMan242 I thought I did one on the glock, ill check, if not ill Do one soon on the G17 since I am building some custom ones
how do you feel about the AIP reinforced loading nozzel
+Cole Williams its okay, but no longer in my top 5 due to the window for the magazine to window port
Also, what kind a of a slide/frame is that at 23:33?
jakeblue88 airsoft masterpiece and right now at the moment i do not know, i no longer like shooter designs so that leaves me with few choices lol
I'd realy like to see you tune a trigger/leaf spring, i know you have said you dont want to be responsible for people destroying their guns and thats your call, but damn i'd love to know what to bend to do what :)
Also i ordered some Murder Oil from Airsoft Taiwan, I'm realy looking forward to trying it, so thank you for the heads up on that :D )
EDIT: I'm sorry i posted this before i watched the whole thing, my bad!
hahah its okay bud, im staying away from that stuff
KnucklesGSM have you ever thought about making a custom tm fn- 57 I have one I love it ALOT!!!!!!!!! THANKS P.S. great video!!!!!!
not a big fan of them, bought it long time ago and ran it, it does not last long at all but cool while it works!
5 years
How much would you sell this set up? Since the original fell through.....
not sure what im doing with it yet
would you recommend a 6.00mm inner barrel
the power barrel? i dont use them myself too often but a lot of people like em, nothing wrong if anything
can't really find a site that sells them, do u know any in europe or that ship to europe?
not sure, i dont order from europe stores
ok, i'll see if i can find it myself, thx for ur help anyway
hey i live in socal and go to hsp pretty often and a, looking at getting a hicapa is there anyway i could get in contact with you like an email?
thaks
yea facebook.com/knucklesagsm or email at knucklesapo@gmail.com
How much is your service to upgrade a hi-Capa
its based on what you want to upgrade mostly
if I h. p. a tap a high capa will it damage the pistol
no
excuse me
I'm using the original TM hi capa 5.1
what can i add/change my pistol to reocil more faster and bigger fps?
thank you
Samuel Tse stronger recoil spring + short stroke, 6.01/6.00 tbb barrel + bucking pretty much will give you big boost for least amount of money
KnucklesGSM は
Put a little DAB 💯💯💯😂😂
*In california "its hot" (90°)
*In Texas "it is not hot! YOU DONT KNOW THE MEANING OF HOT!"

Hi bro you look like meat meat to me :P And I like to see your video :) Good job and introduce :) My TM hi capa gold is on the way to my house :P So your video is very helpful for me I THINK :P
is it possible to put a 5.1 slide on a 4.3 frame?
Richard C yes
KnucklesGSM what about a 4.3 slide on a 5.1 frame
