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

Thanks guys! Couldn't have done it without your help.

Well I know a compensator would have been a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing option, but there were no on-the-shelf solutions for the 4.3 with a comp-ready barrel. I'm sure when one does hit the shelves with an affordable price that I'll be grabbing one.

Well Day 1 so far. Left it alone overnight now and fired half a mag this morning (must have scared the shit out of my neighbors) and checked the ring. The epoxy held on, and there's slight rubbing of the anodising on the muzzle end of the slide where it impacted the ring, but nothing to worry about as the silver is pretty soft. Ring's shape is holding up, and I'm thinking that soon it'll mate with the slide.

Maybe someone can make a fuller tapered bull barrel with the wider muzzle diameter than the slide muzzle opening so that the entire chamber assembly is pulled forward into battery. That would be the ideal solution wouldn't it? No damage on the slide at all.

On a side note, anyone know if I can still use a comp that attaches to the inner barrel? With the extra 1mm in diameter, would it fit flush into the opening of the comp?
