Looking to make ANOTHER TM/KJW G26 (i know i know, i'm sick)

[MikeMcNair]

so, it's been a while, and after selling my old TM G26 with the STEEL SLIDE and Barrel, i have missed it EVERY DAY. my son does also (and he's almost 8 )

funny thing is, over the last year, i have stayed in constant contact with the person i sold it to, and he assured me i could buy it back at an agreed price. well, once i got the money, he said the gun was stolen from his car.

so i just focused on my real steel for the time being... i have gone through a real steel glock G27 .40, a Walther PPS 9mm, and currently daily CCW a Taurus PT111 Mil Pro 9mm (3rd edition, fully polished, night sights, lots of internal work etc. its pretty sick, i am proud of it!)

but something in side of me still missed my airsoft guns. and frankly, i am at the shooting range all the time, but a box of 9mm ammo is 11-16 dollars, and i could go through 3 boxes in an hr PLUS paying for the lave, well, it gets expensive to plink with real steel.

so, i was looking around the forums, and came across another STEEL SLIDE AND BARREL SET (GUARDER-04) which CAME WITH the spring set for it as well (GUARDER-05)....... so i had to jump on it as they are harder to find than tits on a bull!!!

and, i do still have a TM G26 (allllll plastic) for my son, but he still thought it was not as cool as my FULLY BUILT TM G26.

long story short, i ordered a new KJW G27 as the base for this project, as it has the heavy weight frame, and comes with a metal slide and barrel (aluminum, but will be great to put on the plastic TM and then i can sell it to recoup my money spent on the new stuff.

so this begins the new build, of another ultimate TM G26, most parts of which arrived today.











this is only the beginning. this time i am going a little further then the last.

i have the "Clipdraw" already, and the STEEL slide and outer barrel have been shipped.

there may be some polishing, etc on this build, i am not too sure, but i know it's gonna be the second of a kind: a fully steel (aside from polymer grip) G26 with massive output.

this time, i will get it chrono'd, and i will prove it's power with video's etc, because last time i didnt.

so please stay tuned.

You might want to consider picking up a shooters design valve knocker cause the original one is made of pot metal and the shooters design one is made of steel.

Just a thought.

I need one for myself, but if you PM Illusion he'll be able to get you one I think. They're only $25.00.

I would have purchased one already but the same gun has a broken outer barrel that I'm having a hard time finding so it's now been designated a parts gun.

[MikeMcNair]

THANKS FACE, i did order that exact part, and funny thing is the pic you posted is from my last build that's my coffee table and my parts

funny thing is, guarder has their trigger relay bar, and shooters design makes the valve knocker but calls it a trigger lever (at least on the site i ordered it from, it was called "Shooters Design Steel trigger lever from a G17" but it is the knocker valve, i did confirm that before ordering it.)

i just wish i had EVERYTHING here now so i could assemble this dam thing. is gonna be together fast cause i learned a lot during the last build.

[MikeMcNair]

also, just to give you guys an idea as to where I am going.....

think TALO GLOCK EXO

POSSIBLY the TALO Premier GOLD edition, but not entirely sure how to duplicate that finish....

The nickel look or zync look is easy, the "dark smoked polish mirror" look is HARD, and i am not sure how to get to that.......

Nice, I absolutely love my TM G26 with Guarder steel slide/barrel and it has some of the said guarder reinforcements above.. i've owned her for about 6 years now she had a twin! but i regrettably sold her to a friend of mine.. i should have kept the pair together.. now they despair being apart =(



Anyway, Great project build. Absolute fan of the G26 cheers

[R1Style]

where did you order all those parts from?

[MikeMcNair]

all parts came from 4-5 different dealers. i have pars coming (or already arrived) from so many different places its not even funny. many places i ordered just 1 part from, because they had it and no one else did.

Guarder STEEL magazine release lever/catch
Airsoft Surgeon Super Hard Loading Nozzle for G17
ACTION Enhanced Separate Magazine LIP
ACTION High Output Valve
HIDAKAYA rocket valve spring
Steel Magazine extension
Steel rocket valve/bulb

[MikeMcNair]
