Airsoft Surgeon CNC-machined lightweight frames (Hi Capa / 1911)

There is something inherently sexy about CNC-machined parts. Apart from being supremely sleek looking pieces of metal, they are stronger than your regular die-cast metals. Thus, we always appreciate a CNC-machined accessory when it we get our hands on one. 

Airsoft Surgeon have come out with some superb accessories in the past, and his new CNC-machined lightweight frame for the Marui Hi-Capa / 1911 series is no different. This frame is CNC-machined with full length monolithic rails, which allows a smooth cycling action with a superior precision fit between the moving parts. The one-piece design is easier to disassemble - just by removing two pins - and offers a higher durability and lighter weight compared to the original TM design.

Laylax PSS10 Carbon barrel set for the Marui VSR10

Carbon Fiber, or more specifically Carbon Fiber reinforced plastic, has been used in the aerospace and automotive industries for many years. It's strength-to-weight ratio properties make it essential for applications like high-performance racing, where weight is of the essence with minimal compromise in rigidity. Improved and cheaper manufacturing techniques have meant that carbon fiber has seen use in more common everyday applications.


That brings us to the new Laylax PSS10 Carbon barrel set for the Marui VSR10. It might seem a little excessive at first (especially as it retails for more than the gun itself), but one has to appreciate the art, and the balls that Laylax has to make such an idiosyncratically exotic accessory for an airsoft gun. One does appreciate the madness when one actually picks it up and feels it, and to realise how light it really is. The barrel weighs a mere 200g, which is nothing when compared with a metal barrel. The total length of this carbon barrel is 825mm; we weighed a 700 mm metal barrel for the VSR-10 and it weighed over 850g! The weight saving is quite profound, and you will probably feel that when you're carrying the sniper rifle around the field. Laylax recommend using a 555mm inner barrel in conjunction with this barrel.


This carbon fiber barrel will only be limited to 30 in the whole World and are bespoke, hand-made pieces, so it's bound to be a (lavish) collector's piece or for those who prize weight without losing the strength inherent in metal barrels.
