Hey Knuckles...what shops would you recommend buying parts from (grips/slides/barrels and upgrades) Looking to make a custom 5.1 based off a TM hi capa Nice shooter BTW!
if Im planning to build a pistol off a tm hi capa 4.3. What type of metal slide should I use? Could you also link one? Thanks and good job on your videos.
best place to start IMO is choosing the right pistol. I bought a WE 1911 before my TM G18. Was decent but not even in the same league. also on the same note...going from a 1911 to a glock in terms of grip/angle of grip and manipulation was different for sometime; almost awkward. both bought because of the "Cool" factor, like it being in a movie or game you saw. Heck I got an G18 instead of a G17 since I didn't know i would like Glocks and was like Full Auto...why the heck not... lol
KnucklesGSM if you do here is some topic points -Pistol Choice (All Pistols are not equal...some may not feel all that great in hand) -Cool factor (As in do you like the looks) i.e your videogame/movie point -Level of difficulty in upgrading/building (TM G-Series IMO is really easy to learn/master once you get over the OMG Ima break this) -Personalization (Is this what you wanted to build) You had the right idea and I like the video regardless.
When i short stroked mine just a lil and didn't work right ive got alot to learn in guessing the bbu needs upgrades return spring or loading nozzle iam not sure
Hey knuckles, a friend of mine is wanting me to build him a pistol from the ground up. I believe it would be a better idea to start with a we tech marui spec hi capa, is there one? Where can I find it? Any other suggestions for a cheap donor?
probably set a budget first, if its a small budget then yea you could do that but be prepared to do some work, remember that new WEs are not 1:1 of TMs anymore, they are like AW's. You will need to get an older one to be closer to 1:1
@@KnucklesGSM the budget is $300 and it looks like I'll end up donating my own KJW KP08 or selling it for $60 to him. I will be only replacing the upper. I will not be changing the slide. I plan to change the plunger, add an airsoft masterpiece nozzle, 120% recoil and hammer spring, 6.01mm nine ball power barrel, Maple leaf decepticon 60 degree hop up, Maple leaf hop up chamber/unit, replacing the guide rod, guide plug, maybe the grip, adding a 50 round we mag and hpa tapping it, then short stroking the pistol. I don't think there's anything else.
im planning to build a hi capa should i just leave it stock for a while and wait for something to break or should i do some small upgrades when i get it and over time do bigger upgrades.
Hey dude love your vids but I really would love to know where you got all your golden parts I'm trying to build my tm hi capa 4.3 similar like the one u show here I'm on a $150 dollar budget just letting so I don't need the highest quality parts just to look the part please respond I can't find them anywhere thanks Phillip
Sorry bud but you cannot get much with $150, gold is expensive and done on high quality parts, you can get lower quality parts but I am not a fan of that due to the quality you get. I got all of mine from Alpha Airsoft, building a similar 4.3 will be impossible without the big money
this is a very rare/limited slide, it has a 5.1 rear cut, so I'm using the airsoft surgeon/silverback mount which i mention in the video. and doctor mounts do NOT work with RMR, very different size and style
Hi I am in the process of gathering parts for my 1st Pistol. You mention that you do this for customers and stuff. How can I contact you for advice and maybe a build? I am actually going to have some gold parts in mine too. Are you in the States right? Your other videos have been helpful with recommended internal upgrades, Ex... Thanks
hey I'm pretty new to airsoft and I'm looking to build my first hi capa from TM. I've been looking through some of your videos to see if I can find some inspiration for my first build. I wanted to make a black and yellow 5.1 be as quiet as possible and shoot at 350fps or lower, with a supressor attached just for looks. I also wanted to make the build Batman themed somehow, but not by simply adding a Batman sticker on it. Any advice? Thanks in advance
They are cheap enough for me that I automatically get them even if it hasn't been proven for me, I would need at least a year of solid use to see if it truly does prevent the lower frame getting smashed. There are two versions, Steel Warbear and AKA Aluminium, I'm testing steel versus AKA right now so I'll see how that is after a month or so.
would you say this would be a good buy? www.evike.com/products/47029/ but later on I will replace the piston. But would it be a good replacement compared to other nozzles on the market?
+KnucklesGSM oh boy, looks like I'm gonna have a lot of custom painting, haha it's gonna be a pain, when I do get it custom, I need to find a way to fly out to Cali and show you how it's gonna show out, either that or send you some videos :D
I am accepting 1-2 builds but I will not accept anyone wasting my time, only if you are serious about a build otherwise I would recommend sticking to youtube/stores.
I only attempt to do it when I know I have extra room to polish, meaning if the slide is already loose (side to side/up down) I try not to polish or just a very very light polish, I enjoy keeping those tight tolerance. In the end, I really think its up to you as a user what you want to do, polishing is nice no doubt only if you know how to do it.
Thirty about $55 to $65 dollars per piece slide lock,magazine realese, safety, etc is their any low quality parts u know of the pistol is just a wall hanger
Not sure what you mean by that, but I do not hit people up, if people want things they will contact me and at the moment I am not accepting any more projects. I am maxed out.
the next time someone says, "take the potato of your mouth" i'll be sure to consider that great advice and criticism that i can work on to improve myself.
speedsoft_teddy Don’t criticize people from who they are on the outside, don’t criticize people on the inside. Get to know the person, say something nice and get off the channel if you can’t be respectful
The plate on the side is a thumb guard intended to stop your thumb interfering with the slide if you shoot thumb high.
If i may ask why don't you like doing videos of your guns because they always look great even the "cheap" ones you do
Don't call yourself dumb. You're not dumb. You are talented at what you.
ah i appreciate it bud, its just how i am, learned the hard way lol and still learning
Hey Knuckles...what shops would you recommend buying parts from (grips/slides/barrels and upgrades) Looking to make a custom 5.1 based off a TM hi capa
Nice shooter BTW!
Great video dude. I appreciate the time you took out for us.
thanks mate
Thanks for teaching us dude now I could finally build my pistol good and not just guessing 😂
Knuckles, the Dyna pistol head for hi-capa comes with a small spring. What is this for? I can't find any info on it?
Keep making great videos dude!
Which company? Theres several dyna pistons now
if Im planning to build a pistol off a tm hi capa 4.3. What type of metal slide should I use? Could you also link one? Thanks and good job on your videos.
William Zhu not many 4.3 slides around, only ones left are guarder and shooters design pretty much which i don't really like but you can use those.

That is very true, one of the many things I missed haha. I'll probably have to redo this video

Oh yea btw waiting on the Initial D build!
ah i pulled out of it lol..i'm thinking of a pikachu gun now..lol
KnucklesGSM nooooooooooooooooooooooooo =(
Hey man what nail polish did u use. Actually trying to finish up my infinity frame and though the gold lettering is nice. Keep up the good vids!!!
Shotaro Kinjo just a gold one i found at the local shop thanks bud

I do not have too much money to upgrade my pistol. What is a cheaper way to build mine?
save up money
im planning to build a hi capa should i just leave it stock for a while and wait for something to break or should i do some small upgrades when i get it and over time do bigger upgrades.
run it til it breaks and make sure you like it before putting any money
KnucklesGSM ok thx
Do I need a new barrel(inner/outer ) for my tracer unit or I just need an adapter for my tm hi capa 4.3 ?
no clue, that would all be based on your tracer
KnucklesGSM I'm using marui full auto tracer unit
dont know anything about that so you need to do research on that

what did you use to mount the doctor sight on the 4.3?
also, do the doctor mounts work with RMR style sights?

this is a very rare/limited slide, it has a 5.1 rear cut, so I'm using the airsoft surgeon/silverback mount which i mention in the video. and doctor mounts do NOT work with RMR, very different size and style

Your other videos have been helpful with recommended internal upgrades, Ex...

Ask him on facebook
hey I'm pretty new to airsoft and I'm looking to build my first hi capa from TM.
I've been looking through some of your videos to see if I can find some inspiration for my first build.
I wanted to make a black and yellow 5.1 be as quiet as possible and shoot at 350fps or lower, with a supressor attached just for looks. I also wanted to make the build Batman themed somehow, but not by simply adding a Batman sticker on it.
Any advice? Thanks in advance
If you have money you can just get it lasered/cncned that kind of thing which would be cool.
Thanks. And how do you make it more silent? Just by sticking to plastic?
Diogo it’s hard and maybe impossible to silence a gas blow back but a gas non blowback maybe you could silence it
hey knuckles some people told me i should get a hammer pad for my tm hi capa and i was wondering if it was worth getting or not
They are cheap enough for me that I automatically get them even if it hasn't been proven for me, I would need at least a year of solid use to see if it truly does prevent the lower frame getting smashed. There are two versions, Steel Warbear and AKA Aluminium, I'm testing steel versus AKA right now so I'll see how that is after a month or so.
ok thank you
Is there anywhere that i can get a metal slide for a tm 4.3?
Did AIP crap down the quality of their nozzles? Because mine just came in the mail yesterday and it broke after 1 magazine...
it could be that you installed it wrong or quality has gone down, but they were never in my top 3 loading nozzles to begin with though.
would you say this would be a good buy? www.evike.com/products/47029/ but later on I will replace the piston. But would it be a good replacement compared to other nozzles on the market?
KnucklesGSM Hey Knuckles! What do you think of the UAC Aluminum nozzle?
im not sure about a red dot sight on a slide. that's a lot of inertia that sight wasn't designed for
How much do you think it would cost not including the slide or any internal parts
Go to A-airsoft.com and you can see for yourself
Do you still have this I'm interested in buying
I took your advice and I got an Idea! But I've been looking around for orange parts for a TM 5.1, any website do you think I can find some instock?
RPxReapeRx oh boy, thats going to be custom, only orange thing i can think of is the orange nineball grip
+KnucklesGSM oh boy, looks like I'm gonna have a lot of custom painting, haha it's gonna be a pain, when I do get it custom, I need to find a way to fly out to Cali and show you how it's gonna show out, either that or send you some videos :D
RPxReapeRx Acid etch primer and paint! I wouldn't do the rails though
how long are you supposed to fill the mags for
I count to 10 twice
Are you still full on builds??? I would love to have a custom pistol, however, I can't do it my self. Where are u located btw???
I am accepting 1-2 builds but I will not accept anyone wasting my time, only if you are serious about a build otherwise I would recommend sticking to youtube/stores.
Which is better 4.3 or 5.1
that is up to you, only fact is 4.3 has less parts available compared to the 5.1
What did you use to paint the infinity logo on the slide
Ryan Jones nail polish! :)
How much for a gun like this?
David Moon this one is very expensive haha, you can just look up the parts on a-airsoft.com to find out
what is ur opinion on slide rail polishing? is it good?
I only attempt to do it when I know I have extra room to polish, meaning if the slide is already loose (side to side/up down) I try not to polish or just a very very light polish, I enjoy keeping those tight tolerance. In the end, I really think its up to you as a user what you want to do, polishing is nice no doubt only if you know how to do it.
Yo. Just want to say thanks for the videos. And keep it up.
Thirty about $55 to $65 dollars per piece slide lock,magazine realese, safety, etc is their any low quality parts u know of the pistol is just a wall hanger
if its just a wall hanger, spray paint it lol, dont buy anything
mag pouches for extended hi capa mags
HSGI extended tacos
Alex Fong too expensive
Can u do a video of how tod
This is a beauty my friend! I want it! :p
Thanks man and yea fun project :P
whats your contact info for making pistols??
facebook is probably the fastest
What mags do you use
mostly prowins and tms
any websites that are good for externals?
+falcon blubber alpha airsoft
ApeX Knaak thanks
How much to build a pistol
everyone will have different budgets, its based on what you want and willing to spend
anywhere from a couple hundred bucks to a few thousand
hey can you make me a cheap race gun? im on hopup, let me know please!
No thanks, if anything AW makes cheap race pistols, you can go that route
how much did you spend on parts for this gun
Probably total 500$ maybe less or more (this is not including the gun itself)
So if i were to possibly wanting to commission you to build me a g-series pistol...hmu
Not sure what you mean by that, but I do not hit people up, if people want things they will contact me and at the moment I am not accepting any more projects. I am maxed out.
lol sorry other lingo haha okay.
Omg I think I know you
Even painted his nails gold
Can you do something for me?
Like build a pistol? I don't have any knowledge on building pistols and I think you could do it better
why did you insult yourself in the beginning of the video :/ ?
I suggest you take the potato out your mouth
get off the channel kid
KnucklesGSM well just giving some advice so that your channel can be better but I see you don’t accept criticism
the next time someone says, "take the potato of your mouth" i'll be sure to consider that great advice and criticism that i can work on to improve myself.
KnucklesGSM it makes it hard to understand you
speedsoft_teddy Don’t criticize people from who they are on the outside, don’t criticize people on the inside. Get to know the person, say something nice and get off the channel if you can’t be respectful
