EMG / STI International Tactical Magwell for 2011 / Hi-CAPA Airsoft Pistols (Color: Anodized Black)

"Very nicely made and finished magwell. As expected from EMG, the finish is amazing on this magwell. I chose the matte black one and it has an "anodized steel-black" coloration to it, I love it. When paired with a magazine with the 2011 STI magazine base plate, it looks and feels amazing. When properly aiming, the magwell offers a nice base for the rest of your hands to rest on. This magwell does come with the grip pin needed to secure the magwell into Hi Capa grip if you do not have one or lost the original. Some notes on my specific use of this magwell. Firstly, like the previous reviewer noted, it appears that this magwell is not exactly Tokyo Marui spec, however my circumstances are slightly different. I swapped my Hi Capa's grip for an Airsoft Masterpiece Type S Omnivore grip, and it was ever so slightly differently shaped than the standard Marui Hi Capa grip. As such, part of the bottom of the grip and aggressive stippling were blocking the magwell from fitting on. With some coarse sandpaper and a Dremel tool, I was able to shave off a small amount of material off of my grip to place the magwell. When using this magwell with a Marui Hi Capa, be prepared to either modify the magwell or grip to get this to fit. Secondly, the pin that secures this magwell is extremely tight on my magwell. to the point to where I need to tap it in with a rubber mallet and pin (rubber mallet can help prevent damage to the magwells finish). I'm not sure if it is because my grip was aftermarket or what, but it is not easy to put in or take out. Be wary when doing either as you can easily damage the finish on the magwell. Lastly, a very minor note but a note nonetheless, when using this magwell with standard Marui mags (i.e a magazine without a 2011 STI base plate) the magazine get ever so slightly stuck on the magazine plate that it won't drop free. Nothing major, but I noticed that when using my Marui with standard mags. All in all, it was not a major hassle for me to adapt to these shortcomings, and ultimately made my Marui look amazing.

Pros:
Finish is very nice
Comes with matching grip pin
Metal adds nice weight to grip
Adds nice feel when aiming/reloading
Easy installation (drop in)

Cons:
Slight modification needed to fit Tokyo Marui Hi Capa (either the magwell or bottom of the grip)
Grip pin is extremely tight, difficult to put in/take out
Standard mags with normal base plates might not drop free with this magwell (EMG 2011 STI baseplates recommended)

"Before I get to the more in depth, I'd like to point out the 1 major con before I get onto the pros.

Con: While I'm not sure about the rest of the gun, I can confidently confirm that EMG designed this magwell to be WE-Tech spec, NOT TM-spec. Even though the item description says its TM compatible, TM-spec grips will require modification to be able to fit this magwell. Specifically, light sanding/filing (what I did)/etc. on the back curves of the grip's base (Make sure to remove the part that holds the hammer spring, and anything else on the grip first, obviously)

Now onto the Pros:
-Looks Slick
-Solid
-Get a good product for a good price

All in all, it's a great magwell, and I'm super happy EMG decided to sell it seperate from the gun, because I've wanted it for a while, but didnt want to buy the whole 2011 just for the 1 part. Would've given it 5 stars if it didnt require modification to fit on TMs.
