Yes, you're the only one playing Laser Tag. LOL

The Raven barrels are not .03. They are .01. It's a hardened steel, along the lines of their Palsonite series that I believe is now discontinued. Apparently, the coating used on these is not as smooth as their original stainless steel barrels, but are harder wearing.
As a further note on the discussion of this issue of bore differences, even PDI has marketed the .05 barrels as having greater accuracy than the .01 barrels, whereas .01 would achieve greater power over the .05.
The .08 barrels did not have as high accuracy nor power as either the .01 or .05 in either performance characteristic.
I'm sure the PDI chart is out there somewhere... I'm sure I saw it online before, but I do have a PDI catalogue from '06 sitting in front of me that specifically details these differences.

I would imagine it's simply to cover up the cavity that they used to assist in the drilling and tapping of the piston head screw hole as well as the bolt hole at the back that secures the BBU to the slide. It would aid in cleaning out the area after machining, as well as to provide a space for the filings to travel for a full bottom threading.

It does fit. The groove is cut out to allow fitment with the rear sight. I believe The first release of this item did not have the groove.
IK BBU's will soon have this part machined out as well.

I've got a bunch of mags with ripped rubber seals and having the best air seal between the mag and the nozzle will complete my SD nozzle + NB Dyna Piston +NB Purple Bucking + NB tightbore air seal for the gas route in the whole MEU assembly. |
How in the world are you ripping all these seals? I've never seen it happen before.
I have the Guarder rubbers here as well... haven't had a chance to try them yet, but when I do, I'll be sure to compare Guarder vs 9Ball vs TM

So I've researched kits and bought myself the Nova MEU Kit.
I'd also like to do some Internal Upgrades and was looking at the Airsoft Surgeon MEU Complete Combo Upgrade Kit
Do I need any other parts get my pistol up and running on Propane?
For future upgrades I'd like to get Silver Nova Externals, mainly the Slide Stop, Grip Safety, Housing Magwell, Magazine Catch, Barrel Bushing and Trigger.
I noticed with the above parts, most of them come in a Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, Type 4, I'm absolutely baffled as to which set would be compatible with my Nova MEU Kit. Are the differences purely cosmetic? |
Unless you have a drill press or mill outfitted with a bottom hole reamer, you're also going to need to purchase an aftermarket spring plug if you want to use the Airsoft Surgeon recoil spring. As it turns out, the Airsoft Surgeon recoil spring has a wider outer diameter than TM's spec for the inner diameter of their M1911A1/MEU spring plugs. The result is the inability to insert the spring in to the spring plug.
Solution 1:
Get a different recoil spring. I recommend Guarder 150%
Solution 2:
Get a different spring plug. I recommend Nova.
Besides that issue, you should be good to go.
Regarding the different "types" descriptions of Nova controls - this is all cosmetic. Some of the differences are very minor, and only the most hardcore enthusiast will notice the difference and be picky about it (like me. LOL.)
