Loading nozzle, piston head, inner barrel, hopup sleeve. What else are you thinking of?

I'm just really itching to use my AS blowback chamber. That's pretty much all I want to switch out.

If there's a way to get'er done, I'm grabbing one of these ASAP.

I just grabbed a 1911 from Mopic a couple days back. My very first airsoft gun! Can't wait to use it for the practical shooting class.

Can't say about the blowback chamber except that it's probably not worth swapping out. If you're looking for a WE that you can use in CAPS, the most important things are stock adjustable sights and stock full-length recoil spring guide. No point in reducing slide weight when you're only loading a fraction of the maximum magazine capacity, even if it's a single stacked WE1911 mag.

From what I've read the AS lightweight chamber does fit in the WE.

I tend to agree with Saint, though, not sure about the benefits; as I previously posted, the slide isn't heavier than a stock WA's. But if you already have it, I guess there's no harm. It'll give you a better sealing piston head, if nothing else.

As for full-length recoil spring guides (didn't fully get what that was about/suspect references to something I'm not in the loop for) I do remember reading that the TM ones do not fit the WE, specifically because of the different-sized recoil spring cap (which you need to swap out for one with a hole when using the full length guide). Dunno of any made-for-WE one, either.

If you read it over at Arnies, I probably wrote it.

There are versions of the WE1911 with full length recoil guide. Finding one (that's not ugly) in Canada is the trick.

Roger that.

Thanks guys

Actually I think it was on one of the US sites; dude tried using a spring guide with bearing, but found out the hard way it wouldn't fit.
