ThaFlash Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I know (it's pretty visible from a lot of the pictures), it's too bad. I really like the TM internal design. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Firefly0 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 The stippling job done in my stock frame feels(and looks too) very good. But you can try on Guarder frame which i think is polymer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Its not that it doesnt take stippling that well, its just that it doesnt take it as well as a polymer frame does. It also requires a little more thought and care when working on it since it tends to melt a HELL of a lot faster instead of deform like the polymer guns do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Firefly0 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Firefly0: Yeah, I've seen those, they are quite beautiful, and yours is an excellent race gun. Pity that no one makes a standard anodized slide and barrel though. Prog4 is the only place where you could get a slide like that, but they are more interested in making 5.1 parts, however i requested some parts for my glock and i'm waiting their reply by tomorrow. In my opinion i would ask them a G17L slide or a G35 Shuey slide in steel. I wish Prog4 would make more stuff for the TM G17 Magz: i got your point don't worry . Also marui G17 owners have the choice to get a polymer frame by Guarder so problem solved for those worried people about the stock abs frame. BTW does anyone here has the shooter design valve knocker for the G17? I want to know if there is any difference between the stock part. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 psst...ABS is a kind of polymer.... Guarder frame looks nice and all, but design is flawed.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RacingManiac Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 What's up with Guarder's design? Apparently its fairly common for them to snap the screw "stem" that holds the inner front frame in the outer plastic frame. Since the tolerance of the Guarder frame supports the metal frame differently, that, the screw stem is the only piece reacting against the force of slide returning to battery. TM's frame only uses that screw to locate the frame, while the force is transfer from other point of contact.... I broke mine, a few guys broke theirs on Trader's, and talking to a shop owner in Taiwan he mentioned the same problem... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarMonkee Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) Only thing inside which has changed is the recoil spring. Externally it has the +2 base plate which you normally see on the 33 rounder mags, G&G rail system, Surefire 6P mount and Surefire 6P clone. Optic is just a Aimpoint T1 clone but al going to replace it with a doctor sight so dont worry lol Edited January 8, 2010 by StarMonkee Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well that screw "stem" is cracked on my TM frame, the rear one is broken and the rear sight is cracked where it holds the screw. It's a 3rd hand pistol afterall, good thing i will make come changes to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BrooklynBorn Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Stippling looks cool, but sometimes I feel that it begins to look like styrofoam. o.O Quote Link to post Share on other sites
apmaman Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Just got my TM glock 17 but how do I fit the glow in the dark front sight in? the rear one went on pretty easy but im having a challange with this front sight. Wish it came with a manual, but alas 2nd hand sales arnt always perfect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wish it came with a manual, but alas 2nd hand sales arnt always perfect. Look inside the slide and there should be a screw that holds the sight in. Just unscrew that and fit the new sight in. I think that's how it's done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-Clover- Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Pic of my stock KSC G18c with an original "tupperware" style factory case (stopped being made after 99 or so I believe). Should've got the one with the finger-grooves molded into the case, but I didn't realize I'd gotten the factory case for the Gen 1 Glock until it was too late. As it stands now I'm going to have to modify it a bit to get the gun to fit correctly into the case again (with the hogue grips it will no longer drop straight in).

Just go give you an idea of what the stock looks like on a Glock 18... Left: Left again: Right: If you's asks real kindly-like, I probably could attach's my Insight M3 on it's and take another one of them-there photographs and upload's it's. I've also been meaning to add a Docter sight to my Glock 18, but never really got around to it. But be warned: That there stock won't mate with the airsoft Glock without a fight. It required some heavy modification of the frame to fit the stock, but it was worth it alright. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MODDAN Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Wells nows... It started out as a regular KSC Glock 18C, but over time I added more and more parts to it in order to get the look I want. Firstly I installed a KSC G34 inner and outer barrel. Secondly I bought the GLR 440 stock from this very forum and began the modification. What you need to do in order to install a GLR 440 stock is firstly to drill lanyard hole on the base of the grip (where the stock lock will attach). I made a small error in measurement myself, so if you plan to make such a modification I could provide you with dead-on measurements. Secondly you need to remove some material from inside the frame of the Glock, right behind the magazine well. Since the KSC version never was intended to house a GLR stock they've added a fair share bit of material there, so you'll need a dremel, or similar, and a long, narrow file. After that it's just a matter of trial and error. Insert the stock, try and find out where it snags, file a bit, dremel a bit, repeat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
