TM Hicapa 5.1 Springfield

Hey there. Just recent got this gem from the previous owner, Cassius. This thing has such a smooth action and has a nice kick due to a 150% recoil spring installed along with the metal slide.

It's got a Guarder Springfield Armory slide and I also have a Nine Ball SAS kit for it, but need screws to attach.

Next may be a metal outer barrel and chamber (keeping it silver). Other than that and maybe a tightbore somewhere in the future, it's probably staying stock.
So for now:

There are so much hi capas coming into the Airsoft Media. Why not someone make up a thread for it? LOL

I'd rather have to look and drool at them all at once than to click another thread for them.

Anyways, nice to see a growing population of Hi capas.



BTW Styrak, nice piece, is the lower frame metal or plastic?
Also, I like the way the outer barrel stand right out. Pretty nice.

On a TM, they come metal. A nice feature, no expensive import fees to make it all metal if you so choose.

Nice hi-capa Styrak, that last owner you talked about, he must be such a god to have owned that and sold it to you.

Hi-Capa mid-frames are always metal. The lower grips are always synthetic, just like real 2011's.

You don't need to buy entirely new mags - you can just get replacement mag lips.

Like Cushak said, yup the frame is metal, stock. Yeah I like how the barrel is silver and like I said, if it gets replaced it'll be silver as well.

Cushak was talking to me about trading slides, since his is a silver Infinity (painted black right now) which I kind of like and he wants a Springfield!

Your main concern is o-rings drying out, but that's hardly irreversible.
