KWA USP .45 (KP45) Outer Barrel Replacement

Hello everyone,
I really like KWAs new like of pistols, but they now include a plastic outer barrel with a weird bulgy orange nub. I was first thinking about taking a fine-tooth saw to the orange tip to get rid of it, but I'd rather just replace it.
My question is whether or not this will work:

Any advice is welcome!
Thanks everyone!

Don't quote me on this, but KWA and KSC Glocks are largely the same. The KSC USP-C slide/barrel set is KWA compatible, so it would stand to reason that the full-size USP barrel would be compatible aswell.

I am assuming S7 (System 7) is the same as KWA's NS2 system?

I'd double check that with Neil. I'm not very familiar with all the different gas systems.

Yes, NS2 is the same as System 7. That barrel will fit your gun, but you might have to do a little filing to get it to cycle smoothly with the RA-tech barrel. I think your best bet would be to just get the SD set. It should fit perfectly, but you may want to go ahead and get an upgraded recoil and hammer spring.

Thanks for all the help. I'll pick up the one on Ehobby sometime this winter. I really was just wanting to get rid of the orange tip, but I like the H&K logos. What springs do you think I should get?

King Arms and Action both make recoil springs for the KSC/KWA USP. Either one will work just fine.
