- This video details the stripdown of the Tanfoglio 1911 ball bearing CO2 airgun. As this gun is designed for higher power gas a lot of the internals are upgraded with stiffer springs and harder wearing parts and you cannot use airsoft items as replacements so be warned.
Disclaimer:
I do not accept responsibility for anyone attempting to build and or modify any of the custom items mentioned within this video, you do so at your own risk. If your in anyway unsure please get a qualified Gunsmith to perform the work for you.
I hope you enjoyed the video and please stay tuned for further stripdowns, reviews and testing to come. Please remember guys and girls...
Stay sharp but stay safe ;-)
thank you so, so, so, so much man! i´ve been trying to fix my SWISS ARMS 1911 TRS for 6 months! i took it to the store, every single place where it was supposed to be fixed, no one had an answer, i just did every single thing you show in your video, my arm is now working just fine! the spring inside the hammer that hits the gas was loose, i had to put it back in place!
wow! thank you bro!
OH, you are a life saver. Just today, I was field stripping my 1911 and somehow the blowback unit got jammed, so I had to disassemble that to fix it. Unaware, that little spring shot out and I had no idea where it had come from. I thought I had to buy a whole new part or something. Luckily, I found this video and was able to put everything back together.
April 3 2020 YAHOO!!!! my Colt Commander spits forth BBs as fast as you can pull the trigger (AGAIN)!! It was the mechanism shown at 36:00 , the spring had sprung .
I had watched this vid back in August when I bought my pistol , hoping to never need it , but was I glad to watch you fix it so easily. I will take it apart again soon to do a little "filing" and re-adjust a spring or two . Almost forgot ..........THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!!
This video really saved my ass. I stripped mine because I wanted to polish in down and a spring from the hammer assembly went flying and I had no idea where or how it was to be installed. Thanks to this video I'm up and running again. TY :)
Been working on motorcycles and cars for 40 years and never reverse screwed a screw to make sure the threads align...and I've cross threaded a few...Not anymore...Such a simple tip that seems obvious...I've learned something new...Always learn something...Great strip video...Thanks for sharing...I've just bought this model after having the KWC luger for a couple months...By the way there's some great thick leather repo historical holsters in black,dark brown and golden brown for both M1911 and luger coming out of India at the mo around £25 - 30...Thick leather and well made...You can get them from UK sellers via eBay and Amazon...
I really appreciate this video, you helped me fully disassemble my colt(airgun) to fix it, and now it works to totally fine. Thank you.
Did he just teach us how to make it full auto???😆👌
Thank you Sir, and thank you for your past videos.
Excellent video has really helped me service my KWC/Remington branded 1911 RAC bb pistol. As mentioned by Sauron 191 below there is a small spring on top of the trigger assembly in this model that sits just inside the frame and prevents the trigger unit from simply pulling out.
There are many other issues with these pistols. Quality is poor throughout due to low cost alloy metals used that wears rapidly. I have had to fix the safety catch/slide release bar back in place after it came loose (common problem on real steel 1911's apparently there is an expensive post flaring tool sold specially to fix this) I used a bent punch and superglue instead.
Next the plastic gas piston assembly played up but I obtained a replacement from Elite who sell some parts for this pistol. The barrel spring rubber washer wear out quickly.
Now after a few thousand bb's through it the firing mechanism 'misses' occasionally, that is on first trigger pull gun fires OK but then a second trigger pull seems to 'slip' past the sear or something instead of cleanly releasing the hammer so repeated trigger pulls are required. Is it something to do with a 'reset' mechanism sticking perhaps?
I striped it all down, again, but cannot really see what the problem is and would really appreciate some ideas on how to fix this.
Helpful comment. Thanks. Any recommendations for parts suppliers? I’m struggling to find any. Thanks again.
Thank you LaZouche! Your video is the definitive guide to servicing the KWC 1911. Liked, Subscribed, and book marked!
Great video .... very helpful .... great job! Side note: If you need parts for the Air Venturi (USA Versions) just call the number in the manual. They set me up with what I needed for a very low price as my warranty had expired. I paid $20 including shipping which included a new spring for the piston, new cover that goes over the piston which contains the rocket thingie in there she called it and a white disc washer.
I really appreciate the in-depth video, helped me out alot!
I appreciate this vid a lot. Helped me diagnose the problem with my gun. Thank you.
Thank you. LaZouche to the rescue again. 👍😁
I have the Remington 1911RAC version of this, the only difference is, is that there is a tiny spring that fits on top of the trigger. I have stripped mine down as in this video, painted the slide, slide release, safety catch, hammer and frame flat matt black, polished the outer barrel to shiny steel and gloss black the grips, put it back together, works a dream and looks the nuts!!
Thanks, I got a broken air gun for 20 bucks and your video allowed me to troubleshoot the issue (the notch on the hammer that you show at 37:56 is broken so it can't be primed) and I'll be able to get a replacement hammer for it
Thank you soooo much for this I learned how to make my Winchester colt m1911A1 more powerful by putting a tighter spring on it thank you soooo much man!
Unbelievably helpful video. It answered at least 3 questions that have been frustrating the hell out of me. Thank you so much.
Hi ..! me too , with that , I' ll could to repare my Colt Umarex CO2 .177.cal ( a commémo version numbered .. )
LazoucheCustomshop: Great vids, very informative and extremely useful for novice 'gunsmiths' like me. I have a KWC/Remington 1911 RAC 4.5mm BB version which being new to airpistols I chose for the realism more than anything, (shame about the hideous white paint trades) actually put some tidy wood grips on to finish it of. Came to this vid due to the Plunger Tube assembly coming loose - common problem apparently - so needed detailed strip down to help me get to the tubes 'pins' inside the frame. which like a real steel are supposed to be flared out to make a tight fit. Decided the gun was not worth investing in the real 1911 tool for swagging those pins properly and mixed a combo of super glue and bent punch which seems to have done the trick - so far anyway!. If you ever have to fix loose plunger tubes on these KWC replica's it would be great to see your solution which I dare say would far neater.
Thank you. I was wondering about that butterfly valve if it does move freely back and forth without some sort of spring, and that my gun was missing a part, but nope!
This video helped me a lot thank you
I have the remington 1911 rac ✌
Looks like KWC copied WA 1911 in some places. The frame looks almost the same, minus the sear pin hole. And the Hop Up unit looks almost the same. I think with modification, you could fit a whole KWC barrel assembly in a WA.
Thanks for the video. I'm back again for the small details. Because most of the details are same as airsoft. 👍😁
Hey bro, did you find that the blow back unit of this gun is its weakest part? I keep having to order the plastic tube and the breech packing (the white ring) because those always wear out. Any thought on what i might be doing wrong?
This video has been invaluable. It’s has helped me to fix my Springfield Armory 1911 on several occasions. Unfortunately I have a problem with my trigger resetting after firing. Do you have any possible insight? I have done lubricating, trigger spring adjustments (spring expansion), but still the trigger will not reset after initial firing. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
I'm not sure as it's been so long since I did this strip down and I'm now nolonger in the hobby but it may help if you watch my 'Trigger issues' video I've done for airsoft versions of this pistol, not sure as I say if it will help but you never know? That aside it sounds to me as if the 3 finger or sear spring is not set right so maybe try there. All the best and good luck ;-)
Salut à toi ..! Merci beaucoup mon gars ..! Ta video , très bien faite et explicite me ravi ..!!
En effet , mon Air gun Colt 1911 Umarex CO2 . 177 Cal. , a vu une de ses pièces interne HS ou délogé de sa place ( peut être ..?!.) , c' est la pièce que l on voit à 33 min , et qui vient ouvrir la vanne de gaz du magasin ..!!
Donc mon Air gun est en panne depuis très longtemps ..! C' est le modèle numéroté de 1 à 1000 , commémoration " 1941-1945 " ..!
Avec ta video , je vais pouvoir , je pense , réglé ce problème ..! Et laissé mon Colt " Centenial " ( Fabriqué en Belgique , dans un Acier meilleur que ce qui se fait habituellement chez Uberti , Pietta , Etc ..! ) 1860 Caps & Ball se reposer ..!
Merci Beaucoup Man ..! En plus j' ai pas eu trop de mal à comprendre ton anglais , Great for me Man ..!
So Have a Good Day , & Shoot too ( Shoot To , Banzaï ) ..!! David
Very very good tutorial !! Thanks a million buddy.
Thank you, I fucked up my gun and your vid helped me figure it out.
Yo man my umarex m1911 was not working and my hammer wouldn't go down if you could pls make a video explaining how to fix it, it would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Where can you order a new hammer & assembly? I've recently adjusted my grip safety /sear spring & it looks like the part of that leaf spring has worn into the underpart of the hammer where it touches. Sometimes I'm getting a failure to feed or fire & I think the hammer maybe the issue. I've ran 10,000 bbs through mine. Although after adjusting tension the grip safety no longer rattles & I've had less failures.
I'm sorry to say I've no idea but find a reputable airgun supplier and see if they can help or supply said parts.
Great video. I just got two of these 1911 airgun, since they all had problems, so I google it first on how to strip it down.
Perhaps I could ask some help to before disassembly those airguns :
1. The first 1911 airgun had problem on the hammer that didn't punch the gas valve.
2. the second one is that the magazen always fell-off/pushed-out when shooting with BBs loaded, but not if the magz is empty/no BBs .
Would you give me clues on what happen with those airguns & how to fix it ?
Thank you. Regards
The magazine problem, don't insert the mag with the slide forward. Lock the slide back and insert the mag.
thank you this was what i needed
LaZouche .. Can you help me?? I was shooting my version of this today (The Remingtom M1911 RAC) out of my window, dropped the bloody thing, broke a bit off my slide and damaged the piston head, the bit that came off the slide wasn't detrimental to it's function BUT the white rubber piston head has split, flared out and now the gun keeps jamming ... Can you tell me where i can acquire a replacement slide WITHOUT the barrel etc BUT with a the blowback system in it?? The barrel, barrel spring, recoil spring etc are all fine, it's just the slide casting and the blowback system that's faulty ... Can you help me??
A very good video man! :)
the little tiny spring came with the needle in my gun broke. It doesn't does any push back on my blowback housing. I check couple times sliding it back, and strip the gun down 1 more time to see what happen again, the spring just jammed in the housing and seems like destroyed with an S shape instead of being straight. What should I do?
Can you dunk that hop unit in hot vinager to get the paint off? Nothing to damage? I;m wondering!
La zouche do you or anyone know the exact size of the nozzel spring that goes into the housing unit of the 1911 metal B.B. or anywhere I can get one.
I’m in the u.k. looked everywhere.
Thank you also for the video you put up it was very helpful.
What the guy below me said....you rock!!
KWC do the same gun in Airsoft called the 1911 anniversary, I had one and it is very nice. Very similar to this one. I think I reviewed it in the 1911 showroom on Facebook.
Bastiaan Bujis "Cybergun" mostly use KWCs for their repacks. It's not surprising this one is a KWC OEM as well.
Dr Strangelove definitely KWC, I have quite a lot of these around.
do you know where i can find that rail block that goes into the frame? Dont seem to find anything out there.
Where did you learn all the specifics of the gun?
Where can I find the little pin for the blowback system in the slide, it flew out when dismantled
The blowback unit sticks to my barrel which doesn't seem right to me. Is this a problem if so,is there a solution?
The hop rubber is slightly too tight but it shouldn't effect the function or reliability of the gun. It will bed in over time.
@@LaZoucheCustomshop Thank you!! I really appreciate it.
is this gun same like the BW1911 blackwater blowback kwc cybergun airgun.
I have a springfield armory 1911 i did everything you did but when i rack the slide the hammer stays in the locked position even after the trigger being pulled. How do i fix this issue?
Check out my 'Trigger issues' video as that should help. ;-)
@@LaZoucheCustomshop thank you i will look at it now
Thank you so much man i had to file down the disconnector a little and now it works like new. I appreciate all the videos bro keep up the good work.
same fix for the Remington rac
hi, i have a brand new gun like this. before I use it did I have to lubricate it first? if yes oil silicone is inough for whole gun? or have to put some grease also for lubricating? thank you
R Bhai it should be pre-lubed from the factory but a quick spray of silicon inside wouldn't harm it to be safe.
LaZoucheCustomshop thank you for your reply. can i spray it all the parts with silicon? between how many co2's after i shot have to silicon it again ? waiting for ur reply its very useful to me thank you 😊
R Bhai once a month dependent on how often you use it.
LaZoucheCustomshop can i spray all the seals even gas tube can i lubricate? greetings from france to your videos
I have this pistol it's amazing colt 1911, but i want made AMT Hardballer long slide from this gun! So it's really or not?
John Rico I can't understand you very well. Any slide that will fit a 1911, will fit this replica.
Can you paint it in gold and black
Can you use airsoft parts on it? Specifically the Mainspring Housing, Slide stop and safety
Nope as the internals are different.
zafosinferno888 yes you can !!!
@@storminormtharp5948 have you tried it? LaZouche says otherwise... :/
zafosinferno888 yes i have, i have a gold plated one from a real 1911 in mine and they are exactly the same trigger!!!
he is not the kwc expert ! i am!
thankyou for video i had a bb stuck in my gas chamber i noticed the allen key at the back but never or didnt want to touch it haha
has this ever happened to you? i only just bought the gun today, £80.. i noticed a bb stuck in the gas chamber... thanks for reply
Don't know if anyone is going to answer this on here, but I'd like to get a stainless skeletonized trigger for mine... Would buying a trigger for the real steel work in these?
lolwut Real steel triggers won't fit these but there are numerous other airsoft versions by aftermarket manufacturers that will fit and look good. I do on occasion still answer questions here as ive now retired from the hobby. Good luck with your trigger job ;-)
+LaZoucheCustomshop Maybe you can help me out again. I've got my new trigger, seems to fit. Upon reassembly, after putting on the back piece & grip safety, pulling the hammer back, hammer locks like everything is working, the trigger isn't pulling. Taking my hand off the grip safety the trigger seems to move. Putting my hand on the grip safety seems to lock it? Like its pressing against it preventing it from moving. I'm wondering where I went wrong. Ive been fiddling with it for a couple hours & I'm stumped. Any insight is much appreciated.
lolwut I would think it's the small pegs sticking out from the grip safety rear that connect with the trigger bow may need filing down here and there to allow the trigger bow to move ;-)
+LaZoucheCustomshop For some reason I was not even thinking that little notch was pressing against the bow instead of moving over it. Thank you!
+Wizard ZoSo I ended up getting an airsoft trigger & the fit was slightly off. While it looked good it was not lining up correctly & what was causing the grip safety not to work & trigger to stick. After messing with it for a weekend I ended up painting & putting my old trigger back in. Now no more problems, lol.
It being a ball bearing gun has nothing to do with the materials used. It's essentially just a regular KWC airsoft 1911 GBB retrofitted to work with steel ball bearings. It's the same cast zinc alloy used in any other GBB pistol. This pisotl WILL beat itself to death, rather quickly in fact. First, the issue with the safety. It works fine out of the box, but after only a dozen or so cycles you'd run into that issue. You know you have problems when you can flip the safety up with the hammer down. This is because the peg that holds the sear in place gets bent. You can either ignore the issue, or keep bending it back until it breaks. What happens next is the hammer gets caught at the bottom of the blow back housing unit. This is because due to the rapid deformation of the associated trigger control parts, the angle at which the hammer cocks becomes more acute. You can try rounding out the top of the hammer so the bump at the BBU rides over the hammer. But what'll eventually happen you can't do anything about. The shoulders that retain the nozzle to the BBU will get worn down, until a point at which the edges on the seal cup clears the nozzle and gets blown out and gets crushed by nozzle on the return stroke resulting in a jam after every shot. What happens next is you realise CO2 and pot metal zinc alloy don't mix and you chuck it in the garbage.
Is this the case for the regular KWC airsoft 1911? I own one and haven't really used it much yet.
it's very good
you help me a lot
any idea why i can move my safety up even though the gun isn't cocked?
it was made that way, i dont get it, you are dumb
@@ikegel1923 hey! Ikegal be nice. Mine doesn't and I got it yesterday.
It shouldn't be able to go into safe mode without the hammer cocked back. If it does... Hmmm. Make sure its not a Pellet version.
where can i find a hammer for this gun
Bobel Eksen literally any airsoft site 95% of most brands fit like kwc / cybergun palco sports asg umarex kjw we just mostly nothing made by tm Tokyo marui because there parts are mostly plastic
And also my Tanfoglio only does the half trigger cock when i have a mag with Co2 in....Which is weird
12:40 does anyone know where I can find this nylon seal part?
Hi, again La Zouche!! Here is your ''pain in the ass'' YOur lousy viewer!! I am glad you love this 1911-A1, I think I ll buy this one. Now please: who does sell 1911 KWC, and WE parts in your country?? I have some small parts to buy and I can not find them around here!!
pedro tomé As ive said before I'm now out of the game here so don't know off hand but try the HK based sources such as WGC or UNCOMPANY, they are your best bets for parts ;-)
Sorry, I did not understood as so!! I did not know you are not into this now! What a pitty!!
Im sorry but it is a BB GUN bb stands for ball bearing and it says bb right on the box steal bb,s but i guess the company making the guns doesnt know as much as you do since they only manufacture it and you review it so that makes you the expert lol......
sportster davidson It can also stands for 'ballistic ball' which is what airsoft is (confusing but true) and as pretty much all my videos are for 'airsoft' then I wanted to make that clear to my patrons at the start of the video. Thank you for the criticism but next time watch the sarcasm it's not a good way to strike up a congenial conversation ;-)
can i put a airsoft hammer in
Bobel Eksen Nope, they airsoft parts won't take the strain of the higher pressures used.
where can i find a hammer for this gun
Bobel Eksen yes the airsoft version from the 100th anniversary gun will work on this gun !!! all parts are exact match but the barrel and mag , this guy don't know his guns very well
Company is an Italian company with Colt licensing. Brand is pronounced Tan Foh Lee Oh - All the best the pronunciation Police lol. Sorry dude, great video though
Tanfolio, the G is silent.
Dugan exactly !!!
11:40 just push the pin out
Its not a bb gun but it shoots steal BALL BEARINGS um im sure bb stands for ball bearings hey but what do i know i only own 8 guns that i used to call bb guns but now i dont know what to call them im sure thier not toys so cant call them toy guns and im sure their not air soft hmmm dont want to call them air guns thats just confusing , fuck it i will just buy pellet guns from now on i dont want to sound like i dont know what im talking about when i tell people thier bb guns .
Yes I agree it is very confusing these days but the airsoft bb gun type is short for ballistic ball. The high power metal bb gun type is short for ball bearing as you rightly state. I would just stick with calling them 'metal bb guns' and if airsoft just 'bb guns'.
With how the world is these days nothing makes sense anymore ;-)
you need learn how to say the name of the gun proper before doing reviews
