TEC-9 and a 3 day growth! (Or..Big Trouble, getting it in from China !)

I tried swapping the barrel over, its not really worth it,
2 reasons…

1- the plastic barrel is a very snug fit.
The metal barrel was loose…i wrapped one roll of masking tape around it, to firm it up.

Even with the 3cm longer barrel…no real difference to fps.

2-the outer barrel has a restrictor, 2-3 cm short of the muzzle. Its designed to have the plastic barrel snug against it ( plastic barrel was cut to size), and hold it steady. The longer metal barrel doesn’t pass through it.

As i said, in my firing tests, outer barrel off, it made no real difference…

I was able to wrap one layer of masking tape around the plastic barrel…it just pushed in…accumulated around the t-piece…maybe it will help with air-seal…

A bit of weathering, and done for the evening…

I’ll let the resin dry overnight, clean the excess up, repaint and lighlt weather the mag 2morrow…

OR…

Watch the election updates, all day…

Yeah, Right… Over all the ads…!!
( that we pay for!!) :angry: :angry:

All in all, the TEC-9 is a good little budget blaster…
Affordable, pistol performance, decent magazine size, and a unusual model…

Just bring on the metal GBB version…!!
And, a plethora of uzi’s …!!!

(though they would have to be good, to beat the quality of what i have…thanks FF!)

Yep…grind away.
The gearbox only has to move a little…

Be careful of the plastic cylinder top…

hows yours moving in the mail queue…??

Arrived in Aust Yet.? Hope for Brisbane…

Tracking hasn’t been updated in a few days, I only ordered it Thursday night last week so I wouldn’t expect it to be far off Australia yet.

I’m not overly worried if it lands in Sydney since yours did and made it through fine, shouldn’t be an issue with mine either I would imagine

I would expect your light up silencer version to arrive before mine if you’d already ordered it when I sent you that discount code.

Hopefully won’t be too long for mine

Got the magazine finished…and Flasher/Supp turned up as well…

Its just a light up colour flasher…it doesnt illuminate glow gels.
Turn it on ( button at the front), it detects movement and flashes.

It flashes a different myriad of colours…green / red/ blue / green and blue/ blue and red etc…

On auto, it changes fast enough to provide a multi coloured strobe effect, that simulates a muzzle flash…

Bad news is, it lets all your neighbours know where the noise is coming from…!!

All in all, a funky little effect, USB-c Charging port.
It friction nut screws onto anything of similar diameter, so you could use it elsewhere…

I watched a few youtube vids of Big Trouble In Little China, and jack uses the 50 rnd clip…its a long magazine…

Thankfully have plenty of them…!!

Just need the t-shirt now…and the 80’s mullet…!!

Of course amazon stocks them…

Yeah I didn’t think the suppressor would charge the glow gels, curious what actual tracer barrel attachments will fit as I don’t think my bifrost would fit for example

Way ahead of you on the mullet style hair cut, just need the tank top and I’m set once my tec 9’s delivered :sunglasses::joy:

Flashers a good when running low capacity magazines. No flash on trigger pull - time to change mags

Just make it fit… :wink:

Graft a 14mm CCW thread onto the end of the Tec-9… no guts, no glory :laughing:

Get some Shadow. Would you like to borrow my hammer :laughing: :+1:

Nah I’ll just use the sledgey Ive got in my shed if worse comes to worse, but cheers for the offer :smirk:

Well I’ll be

Ah ha, the cats out the bag now if that answers the question that has been asked for a bit here :thinking: :+1:

I wouldn’t be so sure. It may not be given the price difference

It’s quite possible ihobby has a representative that frequents the forum and seen my post from madeinchina.com and purchased direct from there

The price ihobby has them for matches m416.

No offence to akgelblaster, ihobby very well may be her Australian partner. But it’s also possible that it’s not, unless we receive confirmation we’ll never know for sure

Didn’t @AKgelblaster say hers was going to have metal barrel, hop up, flash supp etc.?

Are they your partner, @AKgelblaster , or have they just brought them in as well?

The item is not created for ordering but for applying to ship in batch to Australia a while ago. As you see, it is not listed under gel blaster or any categories. No need to be too concern about the price listed. But once we can ship the item, we will update it to the real spec.

But of course if the approval takes too long and most people who wants a TEC9 in Australia already got it, we will get other models to Australia instead.
