Doing target practice with my WE 5.1 Type R Hi-Capa the other day, and the slide jammed back at the disassembly point. It happens sometimes due to the hammer, but then I noticed two things:

1. It kept doing this after every shot until slapped forward
2. The half-cock and grip safety stopped working.

So I took it down, and discovered to my horror that the plastic frame had cracked where screwed together under the safety, so the two back halves were spreading every time the hammer was cocked and there was a crack going through the right rearmost slide rail. So I guess I need a new frame now.

Any suggestions for an affordable metal frame? I did check ebairsoft, but I'm not sure if I'm actually allowed to import any, and I don't exactly have a very big budget for this sort of thing.
