Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 Gold Match

8bitninja · August 25th, 2015, 14:47

I've been looking to build a nice Hi-Capa and was going to base it on the smaller 4.3 until I caught wind the Gold Match was coming out. Ordered as soon as it hit our shores and here are the ladies. It feels more weighty than the 5.1 SS OPS but that could just be my memory. Will likely get a gold mag well but the colour will be difficult to match. Deciding if I should get some 50 capacity mags and make it my game gun. If I don't, I feel like one of those guys that buys a supercar just to put in the living room. More pics later as I need to go out now.

Very nice

Nice! Could you take a pic to the hop up unit and outer barrel, and how the spring assembly fits together?
Thanks

This hi-capa also has the 1911 slide catch reinforcements, so the slide should last a long while. Its way better than old hi-capas where the plastic slide gets damaged really fast by the slide catch. I'm also curious to see how the barrel spring assembly works. According to reviews, this gun is incredibly consistent from shot to shot and it looks like the magic happens in that barrel spring thing.

The standard Hicapa is incredibly consistent to begin with?

Yeah it is, but this one is even better. Hard to believe isn't it?

Got it from James at B2 airsoft

Site doesn't list it, URL seems broken. It's on their FB page, but no price.

They are $160 USD so I'm assuming they are $280-350 here.

Edit: They were $290+tax (Confirmed from James.) He took them off because they were sold out.

Looks like all gone. When I ordered there were 7 left before my 2

You bought 2? LOL.

I have a tendency to overdo things, so much so I could open a hobby shop, watch shop, mobile phone and tablet shop, etc. Anyhow, this is a nice pistol... I still wish it was 4.3 but the 5.1 does feel "the boss".

Drakker · August 26th, 2015, 12:38

Only 2? That's pretty reasonable. I wish I was that reasonable. :P

From RWA video: they stated TM will release a gold mag in the future that will hold 31 rounds.

Cool beans, still waiting on TM to release their full size usp 45.
