WE 1911 MEU mag fit ?
 

Hey I wanted to know if WE 1911 MEU needs WE mags or its Marui clone ?

does HUANG's MEU mags fit ?

just wondering if there was an answer to this question, sorry for the necro.

There obviously wasn't an answer :P

But the answer is No, Marui mags absolutely will NOT fit in the WE, they're significantly different.

You have to get WE mags: airsoftparts has some (in Canada) or you can get them from a HK shop like eHobby.

alright thanks

What the compatibility between TM and WE parts like slides, barrels, frames, and internals?

We 1911s' ARE partially compatible with TM. On the 1911 models, The slide/barrel assemblies are interchangeable but if your putting TM on a WE there is a small rail in the slide you'll have to take out. The lower internals (hammer/sears/etc) of WE 1911s' are the same as TM HI-Cappas-not 1911, but the trigger stirrup and mag catch are not interchangeable.

What Ironsight said. The slides are basically HiCapa slides.

Outer barrels work but the slide may need a bit of filing.

Recoil spring, inner barrel, BBU are inter-compatible. The TM hammer spring is too short but I've used one by spacing it with a BB (i.e., drop a BB in under the hammer spring).

With minor fitting you can use a TM aftermarket trigger, although as mentioned the trigger bow is not compatible.

The WE 1911 can take real steel grips (I put real wood grips on a 1911 and real Pachmayrs on my WE MEU).

In my experience the barrel bushing is compatible with Western Arms' but I recall someone telling me it didn't work for them so YMMV.

A peculiar combination I was able to get working on my MEU was the stock WE slide, made-for-TM aftermarket barrel/chamber (Guarder) and a real steel barrel bushing. The RS bushing fits in the WE slide, but the stock WE barrels are slightly (<0.5mm) too thick; the aftermarket outer barrel was marginally slimmer and worked fine. The TM outer barrels are about 1mm longer than the WE ones.
