A Hi-Capa or four


Here's a selection of the handguns I have - four Tokyo Marui Hi-Capas. The top three are fitted with Tanyo-Koba grips - which allow the 5.1s to fit a Blackhawk 1911 CQB SERPA holster. Unfortunately, the 4.1 doesn't fit due to the extended dust cover frame. The two black guns have PDI 6.01 Raven inner barrels and the silver guns have PDI 6.01 stainless inner barrels. All the guns have Nine Ball hop rubber and valve routers. The black 5.1 has a black kryloned barrel, black trigger, hammer and recoil rod fitted. It was going to have a Night Warrior slide but alas it needs the Night Warrior sights - supplies of these appear to have vanished off the face of the planet. The silver 5.1 has a TM 5.1 Match slide and an alloy trigger. The black 4.3 has a dual safety fitted and the silver 4.3 has an alloy outer barrel. The original plan was to uber-pimp all of these with alloy slides and barrels but given the so-so results I've had with these guns and being unimpressed with my efforts with my Desert Eagle and a Zeke kit I've decided that the grief ratio, not to mention the cash spent, isn't worth it. I've stripped out the alloy slides and, except for the silver 4.3, the alloy/steel barrels and resorted to the high speed moving bits the designer intended. I'll stick to minor tweeks and and performance upgrades from now on, Probably... 

The backdrop is a piece of Auscam fabric I picked up from ebay. The plan is to take a Halfords five drawer plus lid section metal tool box  put some thin foam in the bottom, use some neoprene tape to make rough shapes for the guns then line the drawers with the fabric in a similar fashion (hopefully) to some of the recent Tokyo Marui handgun boxes. Should allow storage of 20 handguns with space in the top for a  silenced KSC Mac11 and a KWA MP9 - I think I need to make a wheeled base for it!
