5KU CNC Grip Type 10 for Hi-Capa Tokyo Marui Black

The 5KU CNC Grip Type 10 for Hi-Capa Tokyo Marui Black is a high-quality aluminium grip module for the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa GBB platform. The Type 10 combines a futuristic CNC design with a distinctive diamond-knurled surface, an integrated trigger guard and a flared magwell for a fully customised look.

Unlike a simple, standalone grip shell, this 5KU version comes with several matching components, including a hammer housing, Type 10 backstrap, magazine release and mounting screws. This makes the grip a comprehensive foundation for competition, speedsoft and other custom Hi-Capa builds.

CNC-aluminium Type 10 design met diamond knurling

The grip is made from CNC-machined aluminium and features a black anodised finish. The Type 10 design features sharp, modern contours and a clearly recognisable geometric profile.

A diamond-knurled texture has been applied to the contact surface. This texture increases the tactile surface area and provides greater mechanical grip between the hand and the pistol grip than a completely smooth aluminium finish.

The integrated trigger guard is shaped at the bottom to allow the supporting hand to be positioned relatively high. This can help to ensure a firmer and more consistent grip on the replica, depending on hand size and personal technique.

As the grip is made entirely of aluminium, it feels noticeably different from the standard plastic Hi-Capa grip. Aluminium is sturdier and has a distinct CNC-machined look, but it can also feel colder in cold weather and absorb more heat in warm weather.

Includes a keyhole, backstrap and control elements

A key advantage of this Type 10 is that various compatible components are already included in the set. On the underside there is a flared magwell, which enlarges the opening around the magazine.

This can help to guide the magazine more easily towards the magwell during quick magazine changes. Of course, this does not mean that every magazine will hit the mark automatically; fortunately, that aspect of performance is still down to the user.

A Type 10 backstrap, hammer housing, magazine release and assembly screw set are also included. This allows several visible grip components to be incorporated within the same design.

The magwell is designed for Hi-Capa magazines and may affect compatibility with various magazine baseplates. In particular, aftermarket baseplates that protrude significantly or have an unusual shape should therefore be checked individually.

Compatibility and installation

The 5KU Type 10 has been developed for the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa GBB series and similar TM-spec configurations. Specialised product information mentions, amongst others, the Hi-Capa 5.1, 4.3 and 3.9.

However, this does not mean that every aftermarket combination is guaranteed to fit without modifications. With custom Hi-Capas, tolerances between frames, trigger components, hammer assemblies, magazines and grips from different manufacturers may vary.

During assembly, make sure in particular that the trigger and magazine release move freely and that the magazine can be inserted and removed without excessive resistance. The hammer housing and backstrap must also fit correctly into the grip.

If parts do not fit properly, they must not be forced together using the assembly screws. With CNC components, careful fitting may be necessary.

Practical insights

The 5KU Type 10 is particularly interesting as a comprehensive ergonomic and aesthetic upgrade. The aluminium construction, diamond texture and flared magwell transform the feel of the Hi-Capa and give the replica a distinctly customised character.

However, the grip does not directly affect the Hi-Capa’s FPS, accuracy or gas efficiency. Any benefits lie primarily in ergonomics, the feel of the grip, magazine changes, and the sturdiness and appearance of the construction.

When using aftermarket magazine baseplates, it is advisable to check beforehand whether they fit through the magwell. A wide competition baseplate, for example, may come into contact with the magwell before the magazine locks fully into place.

After assembly, you should also check that the magazine release, trigger, hammer and safeties are working properly before the replica is actually used.

Who is the 5KU CNC Grip Type 10 suitable for?

The 5KU CNC Grip Type 10 Black is particularly suitable for Hi-Capa users who wish to fit their Tokyo Marui platform with a complete CNC aluminium grip module, rather than simply replacing individual cosmetic parts.

The futuristic Type 10 design is particularly well-suited to competition, race gun and speedsoft-inspired builds. Thanks to the black finish, the grip can be built entirely in black or combined with contrasting slides, triggers, magwells and other CNC-machined components.

For users with no experience of dismantling and reassembling a Hi-Capa frame, it may be advisable to have it assembled by an experienced airsoft technician.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Hi-Capa models is the 5KU Type 10 designed for?
The grip has been developed for the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa GBB series and similar TM-spec configurations. The 5.1, 4.3 and 3.9, amongst others, are listed as compatible platforms.

What material is the grip made of?
The Type 10 is made from CNC-machined aluminium.

What finish does the black version have?
The grip has a black anodised finish.

What is diamond knurling?
This is a geometric, diamond-shaped surface pattern that provides extra texture in the areas where the hand comes into contact with the grip.

Is the magwell included?
Yes. A flared magwell is included.

What is the advantage of a flared magwell?
The wider opening helps guide the magazine towards the magazine well during a quick reload.

Is a backstrap included?
Yes. A matching Type 10 backstrap is included in the set.

Is the magazine release included?
Yes. The magazine release is supplied with this grip.

Is a hammer housing included?
Yes. The kit also includes a hammer housing.

Do all Hi-Capa magazine baseplates fit through the magwell?

Does this grip improve the performance of my Hi-Capa?
The upgrade is primarily aimed at ergonomics, grip feel, magazine changes, construction and appearance. There is no direct increase in FPS or accuracy.

Is the fit completely drop-in?
Not necessarily. With aftermarket Hi-Capa parts, slight tolerances may mean that some fitting is required.

The 5KU CNC Grip Type 10 for Hi-Capa Tokyo Marui Black combines a CNC-machined aluminium construction, a diamond-knurled grip surface and a comprehensive set of components to form a complete base for a modern custom Hi-Capa.
