Springfield Armory Strike Operator 5" - Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1
 

This may seem like a re-hash of an old post, but this project has changed and is finally near completion. All it needs now are black screws... or should I say "tactical screws."

man that is super sexy i love that meat bashers who makes it and where did u get it. plus one more question do the make it for the 7-inch hi-capa slide.

I got it through my distributor. If you're interested in getting one, let me know and I can order one for you.

No, they don't make it for the 7" slide. It doesn't mount to the slide, it mounts to the lower frame. The lower frame doesn't extend far enough for it to fit with the 7" slide.

This picture may give you an idea of how it's mounted:

hey illusion, just bought a simalar set up off of eddie (thx again man) and then bought the sas kit on sat. im just wondering how (or if) you keep the rail/tenderizer from sliding back and forth (left to right).
btw do you have any info, or experiance with the Shooters Design real pistol grip for the hi-capa. later.
btw Sweat gun man, gawd it hot.

There can't exist anything airsoft-related(except maybe a Shoei MG42 or MP44) better than having fantastic, WA or TM, full metal gas pistols...

Very nice work Illusion, same with the P226.

I don't understand your question. The rail is screwed into the frame where the Marui rail screws in (you have to punch out the mounting holes.) The tenderizer is screwed into the rail. The rail and tenderizer do not move.


Yup, I have a black one on my other Hi-Capa (pictures up when that project is complete... or maybe I'll take pictures of it now.... hmm...)
I have a grey one for sale as well.
I found that it didn't fit too well on to the Marui mid-frame - the screw mounting depth is a bit too deep on it. You may need to get longer screws or you'll risk stripping the threads of the Marui mid-frame.
It fits better on to the Freedom Art mid-frames, although the holes aren't perfectly aligned. It's off by about 0.5mm.
The materials are soft and can flex just barely enough that I was able to push the holes till it just barely lined up enough and let the screws threads do the rest of the work. I'm not sure if it's like this with ALL of the FA midframe/SD grip combos.
My Shooters Design grip is mounted to the Freedom Art long railed frame with compensator. I have Freedom Art long railed frames and regular railed frames for sale. They have low-friction coatings and a stainless steel hammer pin for more strength. Also, because the rail is integrated into the frame, it's aligned better than screwing in the Marui rail to the body. I found that way was always a little bit off, and even if I adjusted to be aligned properly, after shooting for a while, it would move. This isn't good if you rely on the rail for a sighting device such as the laser on the ITI M6. The only reason why I'm not using one of those rails on this Springfield gun is simply because the meat tenderizer can't be mounted on to an integrated railed frame. :P

That would look so awesome in my kitchen drawer!!! I'd hate to try to find a holster for it though, unless you get one of those speed IPSC skeleton holsters.

It fits fine in my Paraclete "taco" PALS holster.

Although most of the time, it's carried in one of my spare internal mag pouches under my right arm on my Tomcat.

It still draws quick, considering it's size. Its length is nearing a 6" barrel length.

The only thing that really restricts its draw and reholstering time is the wide body portion of the kit.

Holy Mack man... how many head smashers are you gonna make???

I'm not playing airsoft with you.. you're gonna mash my head in!
Nice stuff though :)

i got 2 more questions
1) how did all that cost not encluding the GBB.
2) can u do that same to the verison 1 WE-tech hi-capa.

i have the sas kit which looks like the same basic set up. but when i have the bottem rail screwed in to the marui frame, it slides from left to right. i tried to get it at tight as posible but after to minutes it goes loose again.

1) I don't want to know. I don't feel like crying today either. But if you really want to know, take that parts list, go to WGC's site and add it all up to get an idea.
2)

I am drooling....

over a 2 years old corps.
