I’m going to try ordering a upper slide (engraved stars),
And a couple of silver outer barrels (non flaking).
I’ll get a couple of the orings, 97 and 99, as well.
I’ll see if they fit, and let you all know…
If they fit on DB mags, it might solve the problem properly…
This second attempt at sealing the DB mag seems to have worked… so far.
The downside is, it’s semi permanent. If the spring in the mag corrodes or breaks it’s a bit of a pain in the arse to pull apart again. Can be done, but a bit of a bear.
It’ll be interesting to see if the WE Tech seal fits into the DB… that’ll be your easiest fix, for sure. Talking to a few in the know and apparently leaking from the base is a super common problem. My G17 mags are DB and they’ve never leaked.
DB really dropped the ball on these Taurus mags.
How does the NWell shoot? Should be pretty grunty with that Co2 cartridge, and you can always get green gas mags for them from CEH.
@BME You were wondering what the Taurus barrels look like stripped and just polished alloy?
Hard to see in the pics, and there’s a little more polishing to do but you’ll get the idea. Looks good on a basic black Beretta, no other silver near it, but it would look weird beside a plated slide.
The allloy’s pretty soft, polishes up fast… but how long it retains a shine is going to be the test. Ah well, if it dulls up really quickly it’ll be back to black again.
I literally just watched a Youtube clip of a guy who made a real steel Samurai Edge Beretta from a standard 92FS.
He bought a Brigadier slide for it and got the engraving done… also the grip serations on the front of it. Added custom S.T.A.R.S. grips from DS Grips.
