Apharmd Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 Hi guys, it's another silly question from me. I managed to get a Mafioso Arms Hardballer kit and laser from Airsoft Global. Took a while since they had to replace the kit, but it came in the end. I'm looking at working on the build for the end of this year, but I'm not sure what 1911 to use for a donor gun. I was thinking of using the Nickel Colt MK4 Series 70 from Marui, since the kit it supposed to be Marui compatible. Would this work okay, or is there a 1911 that would work better?

heroshark Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 but would look better with stainless controls.

Apharmd Posted November 3, 2020 Author Posted November 3, 2020 Sorry, should have clarified. The kit I got was the version without the external controls, which was why I was considering the Nickel model. This is the one: Airsoft Global

Apharmd Posted November 3, 2020 Author Posted November 3, 2020 Thanks, was going in that direction tbh. This should be fun, I haven't done anything like this before.
BigStew Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 i don't have the same budget as you but i went the same route with a base Series 70. the project fallen by the wayside
Apharmd Posted November 4, 2020 Author Posted November 4, 2020 I saw your project pics, nice work on the slide. I have an old NBB version too, but the laser grip doesn't fit it.
