junior Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Spring Pistol? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whosloosin92 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Spring Pistol? Nope it's GBB made by KJW. I found some info on real glock carbon fiber frames and the real ones aren't actually carbon fiber. It's a pattern applied to a standard frame through water transfer printing. Mine might have a pattern printed onto it in some way or another. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jsres Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 nice pistol there whosloosin92...even though i have had a bad experience with the kjw glock it is still a very nice gun. this is the family shot of my glocks...all of them are KWA ...all of them are metal slided the two black ones are both 23Fs for those times ...both are HurricanE kitted and 4 of 5 hicaps are hi-flowed the top of the two has a PDI barrel while the bottom doesnt. (as for the velcro on the top 23f its to keep my hands warm during night games ) silver is a 19...got it in a trade since im in that phase not shown is my 18c and my 26c which are currently used for parts for the 23fs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chris u'5 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Has anyone ever found a guide to stripping the frame of a TM Glock 17? I want to install one of thoses Guarder frames but Im not really sure of the fitting process. Ta. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Romulus Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I don't know of any guide but I found that it was pretty straight forward when I tried doing it. I have had two Guarder frames and neither needed much fitting, I basically just had to move parts over. However, if you go further into the gun it can get a bit more complex (the hammer mech is a royal %$(#. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Contact "the Sniper", he can give the good and bad points over the Guarder frame and any help if needed, Incl pics if required. Billy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chris u'5 Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated. Im also about to order a Boomarms Glock 34 slide, can anyone give any recommendations for a decent upgraded recoil spring? (I don't know anything about the TM Glocks) What about a longer inner barrel also? Thanks again guys. Edit. Is a longer inner barrel really required anyway?

aznriptide859 Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Any upgraded recoil spring/guide setup that fits a G17 will fit the G34. As for the inner barrel, I wouldn't think it's necessary, but if you want to increase your accuracy then go ahead and get a longer one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Billy Chris , Billy is correct I can give info on the guarder frame, and I suppose I will have to put some more pics of my glock 34's up As for the frame both the ones I have fitted have had problems (related to the quality of the frame). I found the plastic very brittle and changed mine back and will use the guarder one for molds to make a magwell fitting was (personally) easy the hammer mech come out in one piece and the trigger bar is slotted in making it easer than the KSC glocks the boomarms 34 slide and barrel on the other hand is a QUALITY piece of kit and I have had no problem with it but it does IMO need a buffer fitting to the recoil rod to stop it getting damaged when it hits the rails (pics to follow) it needs a longer inner barrel , tm hicapa fits but I need to confirm the length If you need any help PM me and I will see what I can do Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Romulus Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Now that it is summer I have been able to start doing a lot more skirmishing with my trusty G17. I liked this gun as a project and a plinker but my respect for it has grown even more after using it as a combat weapon (I play CQB with 4-6 people). I have put hundreds of rounds through it without a single misfire and I find that I can hit small targets all the way across the field (100-120 feet). I really don't know how I could improve on the gun (but I do need a PDI piston head and more mags, PM me if you want to sell some). If anyone is interested in an updated bits and pieces list let me know and I can post one up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dookieboy Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Is that a TM? If so what frame is that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
krame Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) If I recall correctly its a Guarder frame custom made to look like a gen 1 frame. Edited June 23, 2008 by krame Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Romulus Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Close. The frame was a Guarder enhanced (so that I could get the right trades) I worked with RSP to reshape it into a Generation 2 frame (I don't like rails) and then refinished it to cover the work. I also dropped in a Guarder Serial Number plate to complete the effect. Basically this is a completely custom one off gun which is one big reason why I like it so much. In a world where so many have Glocks it's hard to come up with something special. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ruchik Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Does anyone know how and what he used to cut the frame? I tried PMing him directly, but no answer yet, and I'm eager to start work as soon as possible on my own glock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spartan117x Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I'm assuming a solder Both slides are mine, glock was a friends. Crappy old camera, actually, now that I have a new camera I should take more pictures....to the picturemachine!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Billy5150 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 WhutJP, gun works very well with an upgraded recoil spring; it just takes some breaking in to do; after 50 or so shots the slide cycles smoothly. I glad your work fine. My first KWA 23F perfofrmed great, right upto the point the slide jumped off the frame. Billy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chris u'5 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I've been looking around for a replacement slide stop for a TM glock 17 but I've had no luck. Has anyone seen one listed anywhere? (UK or HK) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ruchik Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 My newest creation, a Glock 17 cut down to use G19 mags. Still have to clean it up a bit, and am going to paint the frame tan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 My beloved TM glock 17 was destroyed at a recent op so i went ahead and purchased a glock 19 since i plan on buying the real steel version before september. Here she is, i apologize for the craptastic picture. Shot with iPhone at 2008-06-26 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Thief Lord Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Is that a KWA G19? I don't recall them having serial plates, correct me if I'm wrong. On another note, I've noticed that KWA's website no longer features the M series (Glock series). Are these going out of production, and if so, does anybody know where I could get a G19, preferably of high quality. I wish TM made one, as I'm much more comfortable with the G19. And with a somewhat lack of aftermarket parts, should I just give up and get a G17 instead? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
