Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Hi-Capa 4.3 : Creation Outer Barrel Compatibility with PGC slide

Thanks for the advice guys.

Yeah I wish I had another impact point on my slide then all my troubles would be solved.

Illusion, the loading of the spring to push the barrel backwards is to prevent the chamber from rubbing against the slide isn't it? But with this setup ultimately the outer chamber still needs impact points on the slide to push the chamber forward and up into battery. Looks like the PGC slide's impact points are just too weak to take the abuse from a steel chamber. No wonder I always see that the pre-upgraded guns usally have plastic outer chambers.

My setup with the spring loading pushing the barrel forward minimises the damaging smash of the impact points on the slide lugs, but it now creates a dilemma of intermittent binding between the slide top underside and the outer chamber (which is being pushed forward and up by the spring inside) and thus not a very smooth cycle. Anyone with any ideas on how to remedy this?

Still keen on finding a compensator that fits on the outer barrel other than the SD limcat one. Emailed PGC to see if they still have any in stock. Hoping for a miracle as most retailers say that they're not any around anymore. If you guys have any ideas please let me know.

Of course the hybrid setup would be awesome, however trying to reuse the old slide. Was a present from my lady so not gonna scrap it.
