Total cost 25$.... there is the issue of the slide not going the 1mm forward but that's likely due to the barrel. it will either wear out over time and sit in place or i'll change that. don't care, just a test build. The hammer housing pin is way loose. had to epoxy it in (still drying). not sure what's up with that. both UAC and marui/we pins just drop out of there. Looks like guarder messed up and made the hole way bigger than gen3. Loving it, I've yet to install my two, did you reinforced the front post as it the same as their gen three frames with no material around it ? I plan to fill the hole with Miliput. yes same design. from my builds, and im not really a man of 1000 glocks like some others, so my experience isn't vast, only steel builds need that area reinforced with plastic welder (4000psi+ variety). but then such heavy things running on propylene (because propane is for posers) tend to cause other issues, like the pins sliding out of the frame due to all the force Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bladerunner Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 does anyone know if the flat we base plates fit the marui mags? trying to start my gen 2 glock 17 build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Got Wood? Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I'll check for you later tonight but I'm 90% sure KJW TM and WE baseplates are all swappable 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 FYI: TM/WE do not accept RS plates, Only SA/VFC does. As above TM/WE/KJW should be same spec AFAIK. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bladerunner Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Im not going full realism. Just marui flat base plates are £8 each and WE are £2. Trying to replace my +2s with flats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wingman Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 My PGC slide and barrel for my TM G17 is superb. It was a drop in fit and functioned flawlessly from day one. Worth every penny I spent on it. I've also used Guarder slides and barrels on the G19 and G23 pistols that I built on KJW guns. Those were steel slides and the next time will be with aluminium. The steel looks and feels great, but if your going to shoot them a lot, you get better performance with the lighter slide. In my opinion. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bladerunner Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Marui/ Guarder Gen 2 G17 build. Everything is stock marui apart from hop and barrel, Thinking of getting a G22 slide get my Tommy Lee Jones on Got Wood did you manage to check the base plates? (the one in the pic is a marui part at 4x the price) 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Got Wood? Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Sorry o completely forgot last night. I'll get them all out tonight. I've got TM, Guarder, WE and KJW at home to try. Nothing nicer than a Gen2 frame 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bladerunner Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 no problem, thanks again. I agree with you there something about no rail and straight grips. For anybody who's thinking of ordering from rainbow8 I ordered late on the 28th, shipped on the 29th received today (3rd) and that was with the cheapest postage and a weekend.

k.a Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) Marui/ Guarder Gen 2 G17 build. Everything is stock marui apart from hop and barrel, Thinking of getting a G22 slide get my Tommy Lee Jones on Got Wood did you manage to check the base plates? (the one in the pic is a marui part at 4x the price) Very nice. Is the rear pin staying put ? Cz fan mention it falls out as the hole is a tad large, it does that on both mine yet to install empty frames, was hoping that the rear chassis would keep it in place.

bladerunner Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) it seemed a bit loose in the grip but tightened up in the rear chassis to the point I had to tap it in. I have just tried to push it out with the tip of a screwdriver and its solid. My rear pin is a bit different my pistol started life as a g17 custom and I removed the rear thumb rest and hack sawed down the pin but it should be the same width.

Got Wood? Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 I've got 4 frames now and never had a problem with the rear pin that came with the gun, and the frame Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bladerunner Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) CZfan did say his was a parts bin build I wonder if its a chassis issue rather than the frame. Got Wood? and K.A did you use the stock marui chassis? Edited July 3, 2017 by bladerunner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k.a Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 I'll be using stock chassis once I've prepped the frames ie JB weld or milliput the hole rear of the front post but so far on a empty frame the pins just falls out so was wondering if to fill the rear pin hole with millput and drilling to right size.

bladerunner Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Have you put the pin in the chassis to see if it sticks? If it does I wouldnt worry. Youve got the screw and the trigger lever and there are plastic guides as well as the pin. Thinking about it in not really sure what the pin does. But like I said before mine was dropping through the frame but is rock solid now I've just tried to move the rear chassis and its not going anywhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k.a Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 So it was loose to start with and now secure ? That pin is also to secure the chassis to frame and funny that on my G23 builds that's enough to secure the rear chassis and I haven't bother with the rear chassis screw on both guns but you're right if it stays put with the chassis in then won't bother doing anything else.

Got Wood? Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Just check, all of the base plates are swappable. I don't have any VFC/Stark Arms/KSC/KWA though. The TM base plates are tight on the we mags, but fit and secure just fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The pin was loose in the body but not by a massive amount just that i could push it with my finger, but as soon as it got to the chassis i had to tap it in. thanks Got Wood? will get them bought.
