Upgrading a WE P14 Hi capa

[dave927]

Hi people!
I'm new in this forum and I need some help

Recently I bought a WE P14 Para ordnande replica, I discovered that the internals of this gun are the same of a standard 1911 but with Hi capa magazines (I'm right?). So, attending that this model is clearly an old model and sure it has pieces that need some attention, guys I need to ask:

¿What parts of the gun I need to change/upgrade to guarantee a nice durability and performance?

I want to use the gun with CO2 gas, and for some times, for practicing AIPSC.

Thank you guys, every help is much apreciated and sorry if I wrote something wrong, I'm not a native so I know I do some mistakes :P

You need to get rid of it and get a TM if you want that.

Hahaha I thought that anyone will post something like this, maybe you're right but I don't have enough money for a TM

[Styrak]

Don't have enough money for a TM, but want to spend a bunch of money on parts for a WE? That doesn't make much sense.

Is needed that MUCH? Oh no, I paid 60€ for the pistol (around 65 US dolars) and TM's costs around 150€ (around 160 US dolars), more than the double!

the upgrades can cost me so much?

the WE P14 is a solid gun, ignore Styrak
All youll need is a better hopup rubber
It'll run fine on C02 mags out of the box, but if your running C02 I'd keep an extra nozzle set on hand as well

Thank you man!
For at least you helped me more than him.

So, my intention is to install:

- Falcon 55 green Hop up rubber.
- DYNA piston head.
- Reinforced recoil spring.
- KJW CO2 red nozzle (I asked people and says that this nozzle is compatible with WE pistols).

And later when I be able to spend more money, I'll buy a precision barrel.

They are a great upgrades? I think that with this changes the gun will shot and perfomarmance better than a KJW KP-05, for example, right?

Thank you all!

i think you should stick with the original springs, but otherwise it might be fine, only issue may be fitment with the KJW nozzle and the DYNA piston head, the KJW has a crosspin though the nozzle to retain the rocket valve, whereas WE and TM have a thin plastic holder, the KJW needs more clearance at the piston head

Hm, maybe it's better to buy another nozzle?
A friend told me that a UAC metal nozzle will be fine, but it's a lot expensive. Any ideas?

Thank you for your help mate!

no experience with that nozzle, sorry, I usually used shooters design or airsoft surgeon

that's ok, I'll try the KJW CO2 nozzle anyway, so I'll post my impressions.

Thank you!
