5KU CNC Grip Type 11 for Hi-Capa Tokyo Marui Silver

The 5KU CNC Grip Type 11 for Hi-Capa Tokyo Marui Silver is a complete CNC-machined aluminium grip module for the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa GBB platform. The Type 11 combines a modern, competition-inspired design with a distinctive cross-hatched grip texture, a contoured trigger guard and a flared magwell.

This Silver version features a silver-coloured anodised finish and comes with several matching components, including a hammer housing, Type 11 backstrap, magazine release and mounting screws. As such, the grip provides a comprehensive basis for a custom Hi-Capa in which both ergonomics and aesthetics take centre stage.

CNC-aluminium Type 11 met cross-hatched gripstructuur

The Type 11 is made from CNC-machined aluminium. The precision-machined construction gives the grip its angular, modern appearance and clearly distinguishes it from a standard plastic Hi-Capa grip.

The key contact areas feature a cross-hatched geometric texture. This coarser pattern provides extra tactile grip between the hand and the grip and differs from the finer diamond-knurling used on the 5KU Type 10.

The integrated trigger guard is contoured to allow for a relatively high hand position. A high and consistent grip position can help maintain control of the replica, although ultimate comfort will depend on hand size and personal preference.

Aluminium also feels distinctly different from plastic. It gives the grip a solid, metallic feel, but it also adapts more quickly to the ambient temperature and can therefore feel noticeably colder in cold weather.

Complete gripassembly met flared magwell

The 5KU GB-616-SV has been developed for the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa series and is specified for, amongst others, the Hi-Capa 5.1, 4.3 and 3.9 and similar TM-spec GBB configurations.

A flared magazine well is used at the bottom. The widened entrance helps guide the magazine towards the magazine well during rapid reloads. This makes the design particularly appealing for competition- and speedsoft-oriented builds.

A matching Type 11 backstrap, hammer housing, magazine release and set of assembly screws are also included. This means that a large part of the visible grip assembly does not need to be sourced separately.

Do check the magazine baseplates you are using. Very wide or unusually shaped aftermarket baseplates may come into contact with the magwell before the magazine locks fully into place.

Installation and compatibility

Although the grip is designed for the TM Hi-Capa platform, it should not automatically be assumed that every aftermarket combination will fit as a complete drop-in replacement. Frames, triggers, hammer components and magazines from different manufacturers may have slight variations in dimensions.

During assembly, check that the magazine release moves freely, that the magazine locks correctly, and that the trigger can be pulled and reset without resistance. The hammer housing and safeties must also function correctly after assembly.

Do not force the grip or internal components with the fixing screws if parts do not fit properly. Identifying where the fit is incorrect first is considerably cheaper than testing how much mechanical force anodised aluminium can withstand.

Practical insights

The 5KU Type 11 is primarily an ergonomic and cosmetic upgrade. The aluminium construction, coarser grip texture and flared magwell alter the feel of the grip and the handling of the Hi-Capa, but do not directly increase the FPS or accuracy.

The cross-hatched texture may be of particular interest to players who want a grip that feels more distinct than that offered by a smoother surface. At the same time, a more aggressive texture is a matter of personal preference: what provides a comfortable level of grip for one player may feel a little too pronounced for another.

The Silver version pairs easily with black, silver, gold or brightly coloured CNC components. Please bear in mind, however, that the exact shade of silver may vary between different manufacturers and production batches.

Who is the 5KU CNC Grip Type 11 Silver suitable for?

The 5KU CNC Grip Type 11 Silver is particularly suitable for Hi-Capa users who wish to fit their Tokyo Marui platform with a complete aluminium grip assembly featuring a modern competition, racegun or speedsoft look.

Thanks to the included magwell, backstrap, hammer housing and magazine release, the set is ideal for extensive custom builds where several standard grip components are replaced at the same time.

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