Archives Custom Slide S Type for Marui WE G17 Airsoft GBB (Silver Barrel) [For Airsoft Only]

This Custom slide for the WE G17 is perfect and makes my airsoft pistol look all the more tactical than it was. This slide is made for WE pistols primarily, I believe that marui pistols are slightly different when fitting a slide but for me it works perfectly. no defects, all is good/

Fantastic item...Fits my WE G17 Gen4 perfectly with no loading or firing issues...and looks bloody awesome

Fit little slide and great service

While title mentions 'Marui' in its title the slide is not a perfect fit and also requires use of a Dremel to get the inner barrel into the outer steel barrel.I believe that this Archives WEI-E is part of WE and therefore was designed for their own G17's. I understand that while the WE is a clone of the TM it will not be a n exact match.The two principle issues using the slide on a TM G17 are:1. Once assembled the slide does not match up to the lower frame/receiver. As shown in the attached to photo's the slide sits slightly back along the frame. This is particularly noticeable at the front end due the angular nature of the slide.2. Need to trim the outer steel barrel to get the inner barrel and hop unit in.Because the outer barrel is steel it does not have the 'flex' that the original plastic TM version, or even an aluminium barrel, which allows one to 'twist' the hop up unit into the barrel. This means that it is nearly impossible to get the inner barrel in because of the TM designed hop unit that is attached to the barrel. If you do manage to get it in you will not be able to get it out. Once again a WE G17 model may be different.The fourth picture shows where I have had to trim the outer barrel with a Dremel.The good news is that the slide still works however due to the above two design issues it ruins what would have been a wicked looking pistol.
