Ouh lala, que de retard ! Presque deux mois que ces photos sont sur l’Antre et la flemme d’\u00e9crire ! Aller, c’est parti pour une review de ce custom de Colt 1911 SRC (oui, oui c’est bien du SRC) made in BO Manufacture limit\u00e9 \u00e0 100 exemplaires que Hiro, le gentil r\u00e9dac’ chef du magazine Red Dot,<\/a> \u00e0 gentiment mis \u00e0 ma disposition faute de place dans le chemin de fer !<\/p>\n

I’m sooooo late ! Almost two month that those picture have been online and waiting for me to write ! Let’s go for a review of this BO Manufacture GSO.13, a SRC custom (yes, SRC it is !) limited to 100 pieces. Big up to Hiro, chief publisher with Red Dot Magazine<\/span><\/a>, for the gun !<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bah, c’est un 1911 quoi, Wiki<\/a> sait tout !<\/p>\n

Meh, this is a 1911, go to Wiki<\/a>, it knows better !<\/p>\n

Pas vraiment une boite mais une pochette UTG tr\u00e8s pratique. L’ext\u00e9rieur est en nylon et l’int\u00e9reur est doubl\u00e9 de tissus tr\u00e8s doux qui ne risque pas d’endommager votre r\u00e9plique.<\/p>\n

Well, no box here but a nice and handy UTG pouch. The outside is made of nylon and the inside is coated with nice and soft fabric. No chance of damaging your gun !<\/span><\/p>\n

On y trouve :<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
-La r\u00e9plique, en alliage et plastique, d’un poids de 808 grammes en ordre de bataille.<\/div>\n
-Un chargeur de 15 billes.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
C’est tout, les acheteurs \u00ab\u00a0normaux\u00a0\u00bb b\u00e9n\u00e9ficient certainement d’un manuel d’utilisation, ce n’est pas le cas sur le mod\u00e8le fourni.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Inside, there is :<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
-The gun, made of plastic and aloy, it weighs 808 gramms.<\/span><\/div>\n
-A 15BB magazine.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That’s it, I guess that \u00ab\u00a0regular buyers\u00a0\u00bb will get a user manual. I didn’t.<\/span><\/div>\n

Constitu\u00e9 \u00e0 partir du Colt 1911 SRC, ce GSO.13 \u00e0 b\u00e9n\u00e9fici\u00e9 d’un traitement de faveur de la part des petites mains de BO. Quelques heures de travail sont n\u00e9cessaires afin d’obtenir le rendu particulier de ce custom au num\u00e9ro de s\u00e9rie unique.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The basis is an SRC Colt 1911. BO Manufacture’s workers treated it with care and a few hours of work are necessary to obtain this finish. There are only 100 pieces and each one has a unique serial number.<\/span><\/div>\n

J’en avait d\u00e9j\u00e0 parl\u00e9 lors de mon reportage photo<\/a> \u00e0 la boutique Airsoft Concept (37), le c\u00f4t\u00e9 gauche de la glissi\u00e8re est orn\u00e9 de la c\u00e9l\u00e8bre devise \u00ab\u00a0MOLON LABE\u00a0\u00bb qui signifie \u00ab\u00a0venez les prendre\u00a0\u00bb, phrase que Leonidas aurait r\u00e9pondu aux repr\u00e9sentants perses venus lui demander de d\u00e9poser les armes. C’est une devise tr\u00e8s connue dans l’arm\u00e9e am\u00e9ricaine. En grec moderne cela signifie d\u00e9sormais \u00ab\u00a0sans peur\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n

On the other side, you can read \u00ab\u00a0MOLON LABE\u00a0\u00bb in Greek which means \u00ab\u00a0come and get them\u00a0\u00bb, a classical expression spoken by Leonidas in response to the Persian army’s demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons. This classical expression is well known in the US Army. In modern Greek, it now means \u00ab\u00a0fearless\u00a0\u00bb.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"P1040947\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Le c\u00f4t\u00e9 droit de la glissi\u00e8re comporte des gravures de \u00ab\u00a0victoires\u00a0\u00bb, ou plut\u00f4t d’ennemis tu\u00e9s. Certains peuvent trouver \u00e7a de mauvais go\u00fbt, pour ma part cela convient bien \u00e0 l’esprit \u00ab\u00a0Black Ops\u00a0\u00bb d\u00e9gag\u00e9 par la marque et ce genre de choses s’\u00e9tant vu \u00e0 de nombreuses reprises sur les champs de batailles, je ne suis pas choqu\u00e9.<\/p>\n

The right side of the slide bears \u00ab\u00a0victory\u00a0\u00bb markings or markings for killed enemies. Some people might think it is of questionable taste, but I think it is consistant with the \u00ab\u00a0Black Ops\u00a0\u00bb spirit wanted by the brand and this kind of markings were seen many times on battlefields so I’m not shocked.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The serial number is unique; Here I have the 70th. Notice the caliber, related to the brand’s BBs.<\/span><\/div>\n

Les plaquettes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 trait\u00e9e au fer \u00e0 souder ou au pyrograveur, cela s’appelle du \u00a0\u00bbstippling\u00a0\u00bb, c’est \u00e0 dire que l’on dessine, grave ou peint une forme en utilisant une technique de petits points, la forme de la pointe faisant le reste. Du coup la r\u00e9plique tient bien en mains tout en n’\u00e9tant pas d\u00e9sagr\u00e9able \u00e0 tenir comme cela peut parfois \u00eatre le cas avec cette technique.<\/p>\n

The grip covers have been treated with a soldering iron or a pyrographer. This technique is called \u00ab\u00a0stippling\u00a0\u00bb: the form is drawn, carved or painted using small dots, the shape of the edge does the rest. Thanks to that you have a good hold on to the replica and it is not unpleasant at all as it could be with this technique.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"P1040952\"<\/a><\/div>\n

La d\u00e9tente est assez dure mais la course est limit\u00e9e, on a donc une assez bonne r\u00e9activit\u00e9.<\/div>\n

The trigger is quite hard but there isn’t much slack, so reactivity is good.<\/span><\/div>\n

La prise de vis\u00e9e est on ne peut plus rustique, pas de points blancs ni d’organes r\u00e9glables, c’est \u00e0 l’ancienne !<\/p>\n

The aim is unsophisticated, no white dot nor adjustable sights, it is old school !<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Les tests chrony ont \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9alis\u00e9s avec un Xcortech3200 du gaz Ultrair et des billes Xtreme Precision Bio de 0.2g par une temp\u00e9rature de 20\u00b0C.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
voici les r\u00e9sultats : 308-317-312-312-312, soit une moyenne de 312.2 FPS, on remarque la tr\u00e8s bonne r\u00e9gularit\u00e9 des 3 derniers tirs. La puissance est correcte pour un backup. Le kick est bien pr\u00e9sent et \u00e7a claque agr\u00e9ablement aux oreilles.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Que ce soit avec des billes en 0.2 ou 0.25 grammes, le hop up est efficace et les trajectoires sont r\u00e9guli\u00e8res. On peut sans doute remercier le canon de pr\u00e9cision.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The chrony tests have been performed with a Xcortech3200, using Ultrair gas and 0.2 Xtreme Precision bio BBs. The temperature was 20\u00b0C.<\/span><\/div>\n
Here are the results : 308-317-312-312-312, that’s an average of 312.2 FPS. Notice the good regularity of the last 3 shots. These results are good for a backup replica. The kick is really nice. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wether you use 0.2 or 0.25g BBs, the hop up is efficient and the trajectories are consistent. Thanks to the precision barrel I guess…<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
La port\u00e9e est \u00e9galement honorable pour une r\u00e9plique de poing, seule la faible autonomie en gaz du chargeur vient noircir le tableau. Lors de mes tests de tir sur cible j’ai eu du mal \u00e0 terminer un chargeur de 15 billes avec une charge de gaz. Certes, la temp\u00e9rature de 8\u00b0C combin\u00e9e \u00e0 l’utilisation de gaz Ultrair n’est pas optimale, mais la minceur du chargeur ne permet pas d’emporter une grosse quantit\u00e9 de gaz.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Range is also good for a sidearm and you should be able to hit a game partner up to 25 meters. The magazine being really thin, it doesn’t allow good autonomy when the weather is cold.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
La r\u00e9plique fait son travail lorsqu’il s’agit de toucher un camarade de jeu entre 5 et 25 m\u00e8tres. Une courte vid\u00e9o de tir pour illustrer la review :<\/div>\n
