You will not be disappointed with the UAC buckings. i have them in all of my pistols now. I think theyre easily one of the best buckings on the market right now
Can u PLEASE make a video explaining what an open slide kit is and whats different between it and a standard slide and if its worth these crazy price tags?
maybe one day but i dont think ill do it for now, its more personal preference for most people, the only people who choose for a reason i think would be AIPSC guys
Hey Knuckles, you are definitely the number one youtuber on all things Hi-Capa, but, have you ever tried heavily upgrading any other TM Pistols? Im thinking about getting the HK 45 and was wondering if you have any experience with it. Thanks!
Can you please make a video where you buy a guarder slide in 2019 and test it if it's drop in because i heard they got better. Because i can get guarder for 40-60€ and airsoft masterpiece for 80-90€
Hey ! Thanks for your great helping videos ! Would you recommend Maple Leaf Crazy Jet instead of the traditionnal tightbore barrel such as Nine Ball Power Barrel ?
I dont care for some of their parts but these barrels seem pretty nice and ive been getting good results with them. I'll let you know what I think of them after a few thousand rounds
What’s your opinion of novritsch parts, Specifically, loading nozzles. I can see a red KJW loading nozzle for $9 on Evike and novritsch has a purple loading nozzle for $15. Are they basically the same thing because I hear his SSP1s are rebranded KJWs. Same with his buckings, I’m not sure what’s better because they don’t list what degree the buckings are.
it might be broken, take it apart and see if its broken. usually you will want to upgrade to steel safeties if you havent done so already or switch to the single sided 4.3 style safeties. if you own the steel safeties, put a shim in there to tighten it up
big question , so i have one of the old WE "skeletor" edition hi capa and i was thinking about putting that metal slide on my new 5.1 TM high capa . do you think this would be a good idea or bad.
Would a plastic TM outer barrel be sufficient enough to use with a Airsoft Masterpiece slide? Do the plastic barrels eventually break or is it a piece that rarely does so? Thanks for your time.
yea, honestly dont worry about the plastic outer barrel, they work just fine and last a long time, if they do break, they just come apart and its easy to glue it back together.
What if I don't upgrade blow-black housing? is there pre-upgrade needed to install short stroke kit? even I'm on plastic slide? sorry for many question I'm on tight budget but i want to have fast recoil as possible.
you probably got a fake one, there are pirated versions out there, contact the place you got it from and see if they can help out. i myself have gotten fake ones
@@KnucklesGSM id just rather not even bother if theres fakes floating around, i picked up an airsoft masterpiece nozzle set hopefully that will last longer than 4 shots😂
I thought so :) had a PHG slide once, it felt like quality like nothing else :D was just curious if AM or GSB were better choices, but then again ... probably the same factory making them
what do you think is the highest fps , range and accuracy upgrade combo??? bc i m using the nineball gas lip with tm mag, stock loading nozzle , uac rocket valve, uac bbu, aplus hop up rubber, AM hop up chamber, pdi 6 inches 6.01. it shoots right around 360fps. do you think i can push it even more??? most of the time i use prowin mags.
you obviously know what your talking about.... I took mine to mike at elite shooting... I said i want heavy recoil with accuracy..... I got it 140% recoil all the bit inside.... Mine fires as fast as I can pull the trigger.. so I dont know where the better speed you claim can come from... maybe drink some redbull and save your money on airsoft parts!!

Thanks for this bud. Pinned!
Hey, no problem! Thanks! Let me know if I made a mistake and I'll correct it! :)
Nice
@@KnucklesGSM what do you think on fix barrels? Does it worth installing in terms of accuracy?
I’d put the short stroke as meat and potatoes it is really helpful
Since im stuck indoors due to corona virus iv decided to buy myself a hi-capa and learn what to spec it out with! Thanks for the advice, so helpful!
Love your vids man have been hear for about 2 years now best hi capa and pistol channel ever
thanks sam, i try to keep at it haha
where was this 3 years ago! lol could have saved money! thanks for the info bro. dibs on one of those 4.3 builds
ahah yea, had to do it, been doing these upgrades for most of my customers for quite some time
Really helpful video. Thanks for posting this Knuckles!
np bud
I played around with the leaf spring and ended up getting burst fire on my gun. But I somehow fixed it by playing around with it again thankfully 😂
Is someone snoring In the background 😂😂
might be my dog, she snores alot but i'm pretty much deaf so I cant hear that well...haha >_
haha def the dog :-) have the same problem here love the vids mate // björn from sweden
You will not be disappointed with the UAC buckings. i have them in all of my pistols now. I think theyre easily one of the best buckings on the market right now
Can u PLEASE make a video explaining what an open slide kit is and whats different between it and a standard slide and if its worth these crazy price tags?
I have two ra tech aluminum hop ups and I love them.
good to hear for ya bud
Had the piston o ring swelling issue on one of my teammates guns. Pain in the ass.
it truly is man
can you put the links in the description please
You are lazy.
You should do a video on stuff like mag base plates, extended mag wells, and triggers
maybe one day but i dont think ill do it for now, its more personal preference for most people, the only people who choose for a reason i think would be AIPSC guys
DAMN
love your vid bro!
:D
thanks bud!
Hey Knuckles, you are definitely the number one youtuber on all things Hi-Capa, but, have you ever tried heavily upgrading any other TM Pistols? Im thinking about getting the HK 45 and was wondering if you have any experience with it. Thanks!
yea ive worked on several customers myself, not much support for it :/
Can you please make a video where you buy a guarder slide in 2019 and test it if it's drop in because i heard they got better. Because i can get guarder for 40-60€ and airsoft masterpiece for 80-90€
great vid bro
cheers :)
Hey ! Thanks for your great helping videos ! Would you recommend Maple Leaf Crazy Jet instead of the traditionnal tightbore barrel such as Nine Ball Power Barrel ?
hey man i upgraded my tm gold match with the crazy jet inner and a maple leaf auto bot 60 degree bucking, it shoot great at 320 fps
what the degrees mean on hop-up buckings like 70 of 75 degree?
it varies for each company, only thing i can say is 60 is "soft" and meant for lower fps whereas hard are usually higher fps and a bit stiffer
have you had a chance to check out guarder steel inner barrels? They seem really nice on my builds but I haven't ran to many rounds through them.
i dont really care for them, its not a company i would trust with precision barrels
I dont care for some of their parts but these barrels seem pretty nice and ive been getting good results with them. I'll let you know what I think of them after a few thousand rounds
I really like the slide on the Tokyo Marui gold match. is there a way to soften the blow back action of the slide so that it can last?
what’s the diameter on the inner barrel? im looking to order some parts and don’t know which one to pick
6.01
can you put those links in the description? thanks
updated
Hi @KncuklesGSM any opinion on the AIP Loading Nozzles?
Hey did you ever test the nine ball bucking
havent yet
What’s your opinion of novritsch parts, Specifically, loading nozzles. I can see a red KJW loading nozzle for $9 on Evike and novritsch has a purple loading nozzle for $15. Are they basically the same thing because I hear his SSP1s are rebranded KJWs.
Same with his buckings, I’m not sure what’s better because they don’t list what degree the buckings are.
Yea wouldnt bother. Its same kinda deal with emg aw we
Any advice on where to get a we tech tan nozzle?
damn thats tough, i havent seen those in years.i think they stopped making them when they came out with the NG3 blue ones which im not crazy about.
What about maple leaf Autobot 60 ( yellow ) bucking ? I am having real great results with it in various glocks and 1911 -s.
No worries i saw you mention it later :)
Will you be doing an updated version of a Glock Performance Upgrades?
maybe down the road soon
KnucklesGSM cool! Will be looking forward to it
So how do u tighten thumb safeties my is crazy loose and want to fix it
it might be broken, take it apart and see if its broken. usually you will want to upgrade to steel safeties if you havent done so already or switch to the single sided 4.3 style safeties. if you own the steel safeties, put a shim in there to tighten it up
KnucklesGSM thanks
You mind if you make a video for the major fps increasing parts? Im trynna get like 500 fps type stuff lol
What do you think about AIP nozzle? But good to know gaurders are good.
inconsistent so i stopped buying them
KnucklesGSM just a question , im i supposed to sand down the tube like thing in the AM hop up base?
wouldn't mag seals be in the performance package? since they are cheap and effective?
damn i knew something was missing, yea that should be in here, just the gaskets/routers. good catch!
KnucklesGSM yeah that's what I ment lol
Yeah wut about uac bucking is that good??
Hey man! Are you ordering these parts from alpha airsoft?
Yup mostly all Alpha Airsoft and other stores wherever we can find the parts
big question , so i have one of the old WE "skeletor" edition hi capa and i was thinking about putting that metal slide on my new 5.1 TM high capa . do you think this would be a good idea or bad.
Does a we threaded barrel fit in stock tm?
Ok thx. Will there be any problems of I put a stiffer bucking on a lower fps gun?
nah its just personal preference for ya
What can I substitute for a brass hop up and would u put the trigger spring from the aip spring kit 120%
just run the stock tm one til it breaks, there are no trigger springs?
Would a plastic TM outer barrel be sufficient enough to use with a Airsoft Masterpiece slide? Do the plastic barrels eventually break or is it a piece that rarely does so?
Thanks for your time.
yea, honestly dont worry about the plastic outer barrel, they work just fine and last a long time, if they do break, they just come apart and its easy to glue it back together.
Awesome, I'll stick with the stock barrel for now to save on weight and money. Thanks for the response!
no need to upgrade outer barrel?
do I need to upgrade blow-back housing unit first before installing short stroke kit?
no not really, its a nice upgrade but not a "huge" bonus
no you can get short stroke before
What if I don't upgrade blow-black housing? is there pre-upgrade needed to install short stroke kit? even I'm on plastic slide? sorry for many question I'm on tight budget but i want to have fast recoil as possible.
@@jasonraymundo2353 If you want to short stroke, you don't NEED anything else upgraded... Just short stroke it
Is guarder inner barrels good?
dont really care for them, i wouldnt trust guarder myself for a precision barrel but ppl seem to like em
I got a guarder loading nozzle and it LITERALLY broke after 4 test shots, and yes i counted how many i shot before it broke🤷♂️
you probably got a fake one, there are pirated versions out there, contact the place you got it from and see if they can help out. i myself have gotten fake ones
@@KnucklesGSM id just rather not even bother if theres fakes floating around, i picked up an airsoft masterpiece nozzle set hopefully that will last longer than 4 shots😂
Aip loading nozzle any good?
the window is off on the hicapa version, if you do some work it will be okay
what about prohandgun?
dang it, yea forgot them they are basically the same as prog4/am/gsb etc
I thought so :) had a PHG slide once, it felt like quality like nothing else :D was just curious if AM or GSB were better choices, but then again ... probably the same factory making them
what do you think is the highest fps , range and accuracy upgrade combo??? bc i m using the nineball gas lip with tm mag, stock loading nozzle , uac rocket valve, uac bbu, aplus hop up rubber, AM hop up chamber, pdi 6 inches 6.01. it shoots right around 360fps. do you think i can push it even more??? most of the time i use prowin mags.
you can get a longer tbb
Do recoil vid
Plz
A stock Hi capa all these upgrades is $500. Damn!
yup for the serious pistol players
Sorry - BUT WHO THE F*** IS SNORING? Omg cracked me up :D
the dog :P
you obviously know what your talking about.... I took mine to mike at elite shooting... I said i want heavy recoil with accuracy..... I got it 140% recoil all the bit inside....

Can you build me a Airsoft pistol
While I enjoy your vids.. you really don't think you coined the phrase "Meat and potatoes" do you?
no lol man, relax its just the airsoft world
