Define "newer produced".
100% of all Airsoft Surgeon slides that I've tested in the past several months (dating back to september) have failed catastrophically within 5 magazines of shooting, using all brands of metal barrels. A total of 5 slides were tested, and all were damaged to the point of no more use. I've used Tanio Koba, Creation, Shooters Design and even barrels made by the same factory that manufactures the slides (not Airsoft Surgeon.)
Even Clarence Lai has admitted that they will only work with the stock plastic outer barrels/chambers. Metal chambers will bash up the lug on the slide that pushes the outer barrel forward.
I've sent the slides back to Clarence Lai and I'm awaiting an exchange - he's promised me that they will rebuild these to new specifications that I have requested, so they'll probably come back to me with the new developments that I've already begun adding to the slides. They include a third lug as well as a thicker version of the lug that always gets destroyed.
My machine shop has recently developed a new advanced steel outer barrel compatible with all versions of the Airsoft Surgeon / Creation / Davidson Customs / ILLusion Kinetics slides that will prevent the damage and will even allow the slide to work if it's ALREADY damaged.
