WE & TM Sig compatibility

[Boo-Sabum Ben]

Quick question really. Tried a friends WE 229 the other day, I was very impressed with it, and having always liked the 229, I thought I'd go for it.

However being WE, spare parts are very important to me. Also, for when it gets colder again, a plastic slide is a absolute must.

Looking at the rear end of the slide, I can't see any obvious differences in design.

Can a fully assembled Marui 226 slide fit onto a fully assembled WE 229 frame?

I would say not as the WE P226 is slightly larger than the TM but i am not sure...

Been down this road already, tried my TM 226 slide on a WE F226 frame, and its a no go without modification to the slide.

It is mate the dimensions of the externals between the we and tm ones are a lot different by maybe a mm either side as the top sled doesn't fit a we lower frame, I tryed, I can't be certain on the internals but I have been able to fit a guarder threaded outer barrel to fit in a we 226,
