Well, I have been scouring the internet in hopes to find some combination of a Freedom Arts frame set and a matching slide from SD or AS. There are pretty slim pickings out there for full length dust covers that are not rounded for 5.1 and their are very few non-rounded ones for the 4.3. Its a little disappointing when your only option is the Marui OPs-Tac sides. I like the comp and frame sets offered by Freedom Arts I just can't find anything for them that's in stock. Do you guys think the market is just crap or about to go through a cycle and flood?

In you opinion is it worth buying a retail custom pistol? Are there errors that can be made that result in catastrophic damage to the replicas? I have worked on airsoft guns for several years and owned a Hi Capa for almost the same. I'm skittish to try upgrading one myself but it would save a lot of money. In the end the pistol would be barely Tokyo Marui. I'm guessing the HU unit, the mags would remain TM and maybe a few screws.

Do hybrid barrel/slide sets require anything more than normal slides and barrels to install? I'm assuming the lugs are different. Are the easier, harder or just a totally different.

What is your opinion on Airsoft Surgeon parts? Will they always work together?

thanks again,
mateba
