Making the Novristch Ssp1 a Little Less Shameful

[Steveocee]

@Cr0-Magnon the Mi3D slides are good. I have been testing an example for Matt for a couple of months now. He has about 4-5 styles that will be coming up, I'd say they are about 80% done, it's down to really fine tuning the fitment on them now though. I've been able to release some images over the last few days of what to expect of them.... (more on my insta https://www.instagram.com/angrybullairsoft/ )

Here is my "skirmish pistol" with one of Matt's slides and rear sites;

@Steveocee Loving that slide and frame set in your Instagram story. Going silver barrel and controls?

Not sure yet. The one in the story is a Golden Eagle stock frame and the slide is the TM Gold Match plastic slide. I originally built that up as a "blackout" build. I'm not sure if/what will fit on the grip but am very tempted to buy a government model and build that up as a black/silver combo instead.

Too many options, I keep telling Kyle I want an open slide build as well which is a possibility once I've done my Kythera machine pistol.

 

[Alimcd]

Ha, me too! I’m sure he’s told you the same thing about more open stuff later in the year.

I’m holding out for a silver or two tone open-style Limcat slide+frame set. Something similar to the Dragoncats they did a while back

Is the Silver Infinity set yours?

I wish it was! No that's a 5.1 set that has been customised for a guy I watch as much as I can of on YT Grey Airsoft. His earlier material was very good cqb and he has slowly eased into speedsoft bit is now mixing it up. Real positive guy and an inspiration of the kind of person I'd like to be.

Immense.vision to cut down like that and skill from the guy who has done it. I'm happy with the BC though. Picked up a CowCow sight over the weekend as well to make it easier to install when the purple terror arrives.

Just checked out some of his footage. The 2020 highlight with the 10 kill streak is pretty epic! 
 

I don’t suppose Kyle’s shared any wisdom about expected shipping dates? His suspicion was end of July last time I badgered him…

I quizzed him Sunday (both attended skirmish cqb). I try not to jab constantly about it but the last he said to me was end of July. 

The person who cut that slide Jeff_Repairsoft is also an AM dealer and he has hinted at August I think in one of the FB groups.

I don't want to be over hyped but I'm starting to get impatient ?

 

[Alimcd]

It’s felt like they’ve been “ready to drop” for ages. 
 

Remember when they were going to be released in March…

Do you know what he’s got on the way? I’ve got a JLP racker for the Speedcat/C-More but I’m curious if he’s got anything else weird on the way

 

[Cr0-Magnon]

I've noticed something about those 4.3 Limcat slides which is going to bother me. They have 9mm markings and my Guarder outer barrel .45.

Does anyone make an outer barrel with 9mm markings?

None available yet. I suspect that as soon as the Battlecats actually drop, it’ll be one of the next things from AM. 
 

I’m exactly the same vein, I got worked up about having a .45 barrel with my Speedcat (0.40) and lo and behold, a few weeks later, they dropped threaded and non threaded 0.40S&W outer barrels

Yeah they do feel like they've been on the way forever

He hasn't mentioned anything too exotic to me but he's usually got something non standard planned or in store.

On a slightly less Battle-catty note… how often do you play at that Hells Pass site? I’ve been watching a few of your videos and I think I’ve convinced myself that I should drive up to Derby to have a go at shooting you!

Are you heading down to Newbury for the forum member game at Negative Airsoft’s Zed site?

Game time is limited at the moment as I'm trying to heal my arm before and after tattoos but if you had a rough idea when you were heading over then I'd try my best to be available ?

Similar situation with the forum game, it's fallen at s bad time for me

Had an awesome evening at ZedMart last night. Forgot to bring a change of clothes for my top half so ran around in a hoodie I found in the van until I nearly dieded of heat exhaustion. Ended up playing in what I dub “Office Tactical” for a bit…

Realised I had a souvenir from the game this morning!

That's a fantastic catch with your head ? How did pistol primary suit you?

(I haven’t dirtied my hands with an AEG in a game for almost 3 months)

LOVE IT

I ran the Infinity all night. Hop was set for 0.36’s but I was using 0.28 tracers. Once the Battlecat slide is in, I think that’ll be my dedicated indoor pew

How did your game on Thursday go? Saw your video where you and Kyle got shot in the back, that guy was super speedy!

Thursday was brilliant thank you, going to cut the footage into a "bite size chunk" montage of the best bits but probably without the "trap beatz". Yeah speedy boi really got us and was a plague that day, congrats to him as well as our team was 3 "experienced" players and 3 newer guys. Him and his other 2 buddies played aggressive, fair and fast all day.

I've about come to the same conclusion for a dedicated indoor machine, even bought a tester bag of 0.2 tracers as my mind is telling me indoors that wind isn't an issue so why not get a faster time to target?

You have completely ruined me though, I am thinking a 4.3 AM frame is needed to really put the icing on the cake.

 

[Cr0-Magnon]

This thread is really making me want to keep my 4.3 and put all these bits on it but £170 for a frame and £200 for a grip! ?

I've also just picked up a Gold Match and very tempted to send it to Mike Cripps, so he can fit a black AM Limcat slide with Gold enameling etc.

How much would that negatively impact the cooldown side of things though?

If you change out the BBU at the same time for something lightweight, the increase in mass of the side will be offset by the decrease in the BBU

Limcat c.70g

TM c.40g

CCT BBU c.18g

TM BBU c.43b

I’d be tempted to get a AIP 120% set in there at the same time.

Steve - been typing out a reply to you at work. Once I’ve done a few deliveries and service jobs, I fully intend on finishing that!

Also, Kyle keeps telling me he’s sure that 4.3 parts will be coming from Airsoft Masterpiece once they drop the Battlecat slides

Kyle at HCH would easily and happily do the same for you buddy and I'd argue the customer interface is significantly better as well. Nothing against Mike, he is a little to the point at times which is kind of nice when you want to just smash an order in but Kyle is a lot more chill and really takes pride in his work.

The Gold enameling is just some paint he drops in and rubs the excess off, really nothing to it, nail varnish works just as well (in case you fancied a go yourself).
