Land Warrior were great again and sent out a new mag in the post. All works fine now. And what a great replica this is. I really like the heavier pistol weight with the lighter mag. Definitely adds to the realism feel. The frame quality is really nice with the inset frame rails. And the lack of an internal hammer makes the slide move smoothly. Also I really like the heavier trigger. It stops you from really gently trying to squeeze the shot off as you have to more purposefully press the trigger. And its not really that heavy. Power is nice too with some red gas. Did they let you keep the other mag? If so hopefully you could source a replacement seal? They didn't ask for it back when they sent the replacement. But I sent them an email this morning letting them know it was now all ok and asked if they would like it back. (I'm too honest for my own good). And they have asked I pop it in the post when I get time.

I’m also very interested to learn how you got that finish…

I’m also very interested to learn how you got that finish… I discovered this when I use to clean my live firing stainless revolvers years ago. Great for blued guns as well. Make sure you go slow with the polishing, I always do it by hand. It takes sometime, and you must keep checking how much you are removing, or else you will probably get down to bare metal, which I did by choice with the outer barrel. Very corrosion resistant as well.

Good tip, it looks great. I’ve ordered a Samoon upgrade kit for my GHK Glock which includes a steel HOP-UP set, steel inner barrel, steel trigger locator, enhanced recoil spring assembly and a high pressure gas piston. This allows you to use their co2 magazines, so it’ll be interesting to see if it’s all worth it! samoon.com.tw/samoon-g173-kit-01?search=G173

Yes, about fifty quid. I can’t seem to find any info regarding power output on co2 but I’d expect it to increase.
