P226 experts chime in build advice

PEACHTREE · January 16th, 2015, 22:26

I want to build a P226

Does anyone have a how to plan handy?

Eg; put part 1here and part 2 there etc etc........

Is a Guarder platform compatible with KJW guts?

Thanks

shooters design valve knocker. that's about it.

PEACHTREE · January 16th, 2015, 22:34

Interesting......

Why?

Is it for efficiency or for piece of mind?

wind_comm · January 16th, 2015, 22:42

it's the only part that's pretty much guaranteed to break. anything else is just gravy.

mine has a nine ball barrel, different bucking, valve knocker, and a bearing spring guide. it's not quite the build that e did but mine is a kj based thing so meh

Ok.

I saw the pics too.

They are very nice.

So KJW parts are good to go on the Guarder frame ?

Nope, unless it's a frame for the kjw, most aftermarket kits are for Tokyo Marui guns. Kjw uses a different design and it's metal out of the box so why would you put a different kit on it.

IMO if your are going to custom a 226, get a TM, more aftermarket parts, and has a way higher performance potential. I run a prime kit on mine, solid as a rock, and performs perfectly.

uhh, no, its the TM design but the measurements are slightly different (par for the course with any metal body kit). parts for a TM work in a KJ but not 100% the other way around is all.

Hmm, I've only worked on one and couldn't get much to work on it, but I could be wrong. I still would not see a point in putting a metal upgrade kit onto a stock metal pistol.

When I upgraded/ fixed my Kjw P226 it needed a new valve knocker, Outer Barrel and hammer housing. Usually its only the valve knocker that needs a replacement.

Thanks for the info guys.

PEACHTREE · January 18th, 2015, 18:34

So..........if I go with the Guarder frame, I will need to use all Guarder parts right?

PEACHTREE · January 18th, 2015, 18:40

So .........the reason I wanted to build a P226 is because I want a Navy version without the rail.

I have no interest in acquiring a WE P226 in order to get the Navy version.

You're way better off finding someone selling a used one than building your own.

PEACHTREE · January 18th, 2015, 19:57

You are right!

I would like to try anyway. I have not seen anyone in my area with a Navy version.

I want to be different.
