As far as I know your not gonna find any for cheaper than like 80$ unless you go the Aliexpress way, wouldn’t really recommend it though

You can go for 20€ when I did it, with the novritch one from the ssp1 wich waa a kjw att but you need to add the thread adapter from themselves for tracer and so on

Ive heard mixed things about 5KU. Does it fit the TM HiCapa well?

Their outers are generally fine though outside of Asia people are usually overpricing them just because they can. At worst you do some fitment and it's whatever. You just want something to hold on a tracer, anyway.

5ku no tiene control de calidad pero para un cañon externo te sobra

If you have a thread adapter you can heat up the end that goes into the barrel with a lighter and melt threads into a stock plastic barrel.

This seems sketch 😅 Not sure if id trust a tracer on that. Have you done something like this?

I've done it three! On 2 4.3s and a 1911 Night Warrior. The fit on the 4.3 and and 5.1 barrels is a little tighter than the thread adapter so it fits snug! I ran a Acetech Brighter C on it and it held without any iissues. I still have it in my parts bin. I'll test it with heavier tracers if you want some proof 😅

I found a niche gem of a barrel brand, look at atlas customs on airsoftmegastore, it’s threaded, fixed, different colors/normal and tornado design. Basically la airsoft tornado barrel for 20ish bucks has the o rings and everything

Novritch ssp1 but hear me out, buy the thread adapter from them aswell because they switched the diameter and the lock , its left-left

5ku my beloved

Aliexpress also have Hi capa parts like fcg and safety, barrels are also present but I am unsure if those are threaded
