Thanks for the how-to. I replaced my stock plastic TM Hi-Capa 5.1 slide with a new Gunsmith Bros Xcarry while following your guide. The empty Bic pen trick really helped. I even had the same blue one you did, haha. I was able to retain my stock barrel with the Gunsmith Bros slide; good news as I didn't have another one. I had no trouble fitting the stock front sight but the rear one was a bit of a pain. Ultimately fit and looks great though! Now my gun doesn't fit it's holster anymore, but that's another problem. Peace!
I have the nightshade airsoft hun and I disconnected the barrel and took it apart to clean it and when I tried to put the slide lock back in it did not go in I need help with the pls
Hello @LA Capa Customs do you know if your sliders: www.lacapacustoms.com/store/p153/Airsoft-Masterpiece-Infinity-Formula-V2-Slide.html#/ sliders will fit the Tokyo Marie Xtreme.45 pistol 🔫 & are your slides metal or plastic? & do you guys ship to the UK? 🇬🇧
@@drty3832 awesome thank you I would be ordering at least one & some other parts to fit the on my Tokyo Marie Xtreme 45 pistol 🔫 would you know if there compatible with that pistol & if they ship to the UK 🇬🇧
That spring and collar around the original inner barrel is not a stabilizer. It keeps reward pressure on the outer barrel which helps it drop faster, which reduces wear. Its a fantastic feature to have. Especially on tm glock builds. Ive seen expensive slide sets crack around where the barrel and slide lock up on top, and this feature can vastly extend the lifespan of some of these setups.
I just throw them away, because stock plastic barrels are uncool, and I have yet to see aftermarket barrels that natively support the feature. Good to know though, I will add that info to my head, I always just assumed it was a stabilizer. You didn't change my mind though, still going to change the barrel out always, and throw those pieces away.
The necessity to file the inside of a slide is far too rare for me to do a video on. In all the hicapas I have built, I have yet to encounter one where I needed to file the inside of the slide. Generally you only need to do this is if you use cheap parts, in which case I can't really help you out there as that's just a case by case fitment type of thing. I recommend you purchase quality parts to avoid this issue all together. If you absolutely need to use a barrel that doesn't fit; this video might help you: ruclips.net/video/n_-5jDLyBJc/видео.html
im having a problem and was hoping you can help. i installed my own metal slide but now it wont rack back. when i try to pull the slide, it wont go backwards like it should.
You probably won’t reply to this but does the airsoft masterpiece barrel fit well instead of the lancer tactical one? If anyone can answer this because I’m really desperate
Thanks for the video, I'm sorta new to airsoft and I'm REALLY new to airsoft gun modding. I want to buy an TM hi-capa 5.1 but I'm not sure where to get metal slides. The one in this video is EXACTLY what I want, could you leave me a link to where you got it? Also does it come in black?
So for aftermarket hi-capa slides, the way it works is they are manufactured in limited waves. Probably an average of 1 slide style per month. But some months there are 0 slides, some months 2 slides. This slide does come in black, but good luck finding one of this style in any color. If I remember correctly, these style of slides came out in the beginning of the year and there is no way any online store anywhere in the world still has them in stock right now. If you want this exact slide, you need to religiously check hong kong websites like a-airsoft, rainbow8, and jkarmy at least every week. It could take years for this specific slide to become available again, and only days for it to sell out. If you look for alternative slides, brands that are good are: airsoft masterpiece, EDGE, Gunsmith Bros, NOVA, and the new LACAPA ones. Stay very very far away from guarder slides. As for where I got my slide, I got it from my local store. I recommend you check your local airsoft shops and see if they have a selection of slides in stock.
Great Video! Highly helpful. Got a Gold Match as well. Any recommendation on the lube to use on the slide? Can you use that same lube whether using a plastic slide vs metal slide?
Lube is hard to get right now. I use the angel custom lube. Light or medium weight is fine. Idk what's in stock, but 100% silicon oil drops is what you want. The spray kind is a little bit dumb.
I doubt there will be a response, but a question out of curiosity. Is it feasible to mount one of the newer Airsoft Masterpiece Hi-Capa slides to a KJW 1911? What would that be like? All new slide parts or just a quick swap of the components? I recall you can swap TM/KJW slides from a 1911 to a Hi-Capa, does it apply in reverse? Apologize for the roundabout question, but I just have a custom build in mind that I want to work on past just a concept on paper.
In some cases, yes. In some cases no. It kind of depends. But I definitely recommend you get a steel outer barrel. I would probably actually do the barrel before you do the slide
What lubricant would you recommend using? I'm extremely new to airsoft and am going to try changing my gold match slide but not sure what lubricant to use for the gun
Just a quick question, is there any difference internally between the normal hi capa 5.1 vs the gold match? And also will all the parts for the hi capa 5.1 fit the gold match version ?
steel bbs are smaller diameter than a airsoft guns, it gonna wear the inner barrel so much yeah and it will not have enough power to even launch it a a reasonable distance
hey i also have a gold match and i got a new threaded outerbarrel do i take out the extra spring and o ring when putting the new barrel in? is it unneeded?
You can get it on there with no extra parts, and it should work. But, optimally to ensure correct functionality, you need a stronger recoil spring, an airsoft masterpiece spec outer barrel, and an airsoft masterpiece spec guide rod. But, it'll work with just the slide if you don't want to spend the money for the other couple parts
They only make a few standalone parts as of right now. Lots of local brick/mortar shops sell them. Evike does not sell them, as lancer is basically the closest thing to a competitor evike has. You can find the barrel on airsoftgi.com or airsofmegastore.com They may be sold out as of now, but that's where you can get them online. If your local shop is a lancer tactical dealer, you might want to start there
so my question is.. why put parts on it that is worth more then the gun itself.. I cant help myself over it to get a nice slide that is 250 bucks.. can get a brand new hi capa for that.
Yeah. If I mention gun in the title or description, the video gets auto restricted. That means inorder to see my video, you have to be logged in, have to be over 18, and have to specifically search for the video it won't show up in recommended.

I have this same slide. Can you do anything about the small left to right wiggle it has once on the lower?

Iron-man hi capa 😁... Man nos you need to make One for the rest of the Avengers 😁... Thanks a lot. I learn a lot from your channel... You're awsome...
thank buddy
Question, why do you have to change the rod inside of the hi Capa, should I get a longer one rather than just use the stock rod.
I gotta question. Do these 2011 slides fit on KWC 1911 slides? I'm trying to modernize my 4.5mm 1911 to accept more parts.
what is that sight mounting system. i want a red dot on mine.
Just but a custom slide on my hi capa this helped lots thank you 🙏
Hello, this is helpful. Thanks. Hope you post more guides for TM hi-capa in the future.
Can I get a link for all the after market parts you used?
Is this the same for a Masterpiece Edge Shield Slide?
same exact process
What kinda lube u used
We need a video on how to file the inside of the slide or what fixed outer barrels to use with it.

Does every hi capa parts fit other hi capa
Thank you brother just built "Wanda" thanks to this video. Definitely another subscriber
Awesome!
if you get this slide aren t u suppose to change the bbu as well? I keep seing this recomandation
You don't have to. It is a good idea to get a lightweight bbu to offset the heavier slide.
Which parts should be steel and which parts should be keeped stock aluminum?
Question, what do I do if front sight is a little loose
super glue
You probably won’t reply to this but does the airsoft masterpiece barrel fit well instead of the lancer tactical one? If anyone can answer this because I’m really desperate
I assume you are talking about the outer barrel? If so, yes. The Lancer tactical and airsoft masterpiece are essentially the same exact thing.
Thanks for the video, I'm sorta new to airsoft and I'm REALLY new to airsoft gun modding. I want to buy an TM hi-capa 5.1 but I'm not sure where to get metal slides. The one in this video is EXACTLY what I want, could you leave me a link to where you got it? Also does it come in black?

You can. It might just take a lot of custom work. Masterpiece slides are made for tokyo marui
Could you possibly show how to remove the orange tip for the gold match? Couldn’t find a video on tm hicapa orange tip removal
Just take some plyers squeeze together untill you hear a crackish sound then pull
So if I'm replacing the slide on my stock TM Hi-Capa 5.1 (not Gold Match), I have to replace the outer barrel too?
In some cases, yes. In some cases no. It kind of depends. But I definitely recommend you get a steel outer barrel. I would probably actually do the barrel before you do the slide
What lubricant would you recommend using? I'm extremely new to airsoft and am going to try changing my gold match slide but not sure what lubricant to use for the gun
I currently have been using angel custom lube. Works pretty good.
Man i have a question...
Can i change the slide of my m1911 meu for a hi capa slide 1911?
yes, they are compatible. but i think you will also have to change the outer barrel, guide rod, and guide plug.
Just a quick question, is there any difference internally between the normal hi capa 5.1 vs the gold match? And also will all the parts for the hi capa 5.1 fit the gold match version ?
just colors
Can you use this for self defense with steel BB?
I would not recommend doing that
steel bbs are smaller diameter than a airsoft guns, it gonna wear the inner barrel so much yeah and it will not have enough power to even launch it a a reasonable distance
I still can't get my slide off my gun can you help?
what exactly do you mean by it won't come off. were you able to remove the slidecatch?
Great video thanks
Is it the 1911 version and where can I get one
Tokyo Marui 1911 and hicapa take the same slides.
hey i also have a gold match and i got a new threaded outerbarrel do i take out the extra spring and o ring when putting the new barrel in? is it unneeded?
you can throw the spring and o-ring stuff away. It likely won't even fit in the new outer barrel and it is not needed anyways
@@Wyhaq ok thanks!!
@@yochill6266 no problem
Do Tokyomarui slides work on we hi capas?
Sort of, the tolerances are different but you can make it work
what new parts do i have to get for the slide to go on here?
You can get it on there with no extra parts, and it should work. But, optimally to ensure correct functionality, you need a stronger recoil spring, an airsoft masterpiece spec outer barrel, and an airsoft masterpiece spec guide rod. But, it'll work with just the slide if you don't want to spend the money for the other couple parts

It's just like any other hobby.
Bro did not say orange tip causes problems with the function of the gun 😂😂
I probably did. And it's extremely common for that to be the case on Tokyo marui pistols because a 3rd party throws on random orange tips for import.
