SAS strike kit for Hi-Capa 4.3

[Slono]

I can't seem to find anything on the SAS front strike kit for the hi capa 4.3. Is that because it does not exist?

Here's a link a picture of it on a Hi-Capa 5.1.

THat kit is mounted by the 2 holes in the dust cover of the 5.1 frame, as far as I kno the 4.3 does not have these holes so I don't know how something like this would mount on a 4.3

I belive you have to mount it on a 5.1 with a 4.3 slide

I though i read that somewhere on here.

I can't think of another way you could make it would, Aren't the slides on high-capa 4.3s and 5.1s interchangable?

[pusangani]

The slide are interchangeable but that has nothing to do with it, the holes on he dust cover of the 5.1 are where the rail part goes and it extends pas the front of the slide and the 2nd part goes on the front of that, putting a 4.3 slide will leave a space of about an inch between the strike front and the end of the slide

look at a pic of a 4.3 and a 5.1 and you will understand

Hmm,

Thanks for the clarrification,

I'm sure you could tap the 4.3 frame to accept the Strike kit's front most plate's screws... or you might have to tap and fill the forward strike plate as well... I don't have one in front of me...

[pusangani]

U would also need to cut a bit off of the rail and reposition the screw holes on it in order to close the gap that the shorter slide would create

[Slono]

So I guess the short answer is, there is no 4.3 SAS strike kit. I appreciate everybody's input!

[lokisama]

Short answer is indeed YES.

The 4.3 SAS front kit IS available.

The following statement is also true.

But you need a 5.1 gun base which means it doesn't really fit a 4.3 if you wanted install it on a stock 4.3 hi capa.

[lokisama]

You would need to source a 5.1 frame for your 4.3 capa.
starting with a 4.3 as a base would be the better choice for less parts to hunt down.
Ask one of the guys who has all the shiny hicapas lol. They prolly have some left over.

[Slono]

How much do frames go for nowadays anyway? lol
