GlockworkOrange Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) I wonder why nobody makes some polymer encased Glock mags. I suppose it would result in a very light gun, but it's always annoyed me how people say about their guns needing lots of metal (where metal is found on the RS), but forget that a lot of parts on their replica are metal, but shouldn't be, pistol mags for example.. I know somebody makes polymer Hi Capa mags, but why not plastic exterior Glock magazines etc? Edited July 7, 2013 by GlockworkOrange Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 My guess is becauswe it would be a complicated (or rather, unecessarily complicated) manufacturing process, encasing an existing metal mould with polymer takes some strange mould forms (I saw it on How It's Made on Discovery! ). I doubt they are cheap Secondly, the added layer of polymer, although it might be slim, would take away from the size of the gas reservoir. So yeah. It could happen, but market demand, and price point, and manufacturing process and price are not supporting it. Or are you suggesting an all polymer magazine? I would not trust to put gas in that for a second. KABOOMZKI! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kratisto Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 The perfect airsoft Glock magazine should be CO2 powered. A small metal frame inside a plastic casing. Imagine the new KJW 1911 CO2 slim mags inside a plastic Glock 17 magazine to get the idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
judgeman Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) Bought my first Glock, a WE 19. I come from a proud line of 1911's and Browning HP's. This feels...dirty. But a good dirty. Like a first date with the weird tan-framed kinky Austrian chick from down the way. But seriously. We've established rs sights are a no-no, but what about other rs parts? + 2 extensions? rs slide stops? That sort of thing. Presuming, you know, my package from Evike actually arrives.

Squad 701 Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Like Nonex said, it can be very difficult to take a shot of a Glock that has a reflective coating under bright light conditions that do it proper justice. I'll eventually get there when I brush up on my photography But for now, here are the ones that didn't turn out. TM Glock 17 (Det/Guar) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
icolater Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hey squad, what are the new Guarder frames like to install, I remember the older ones were beautiful and super tuff but didn't fit the best at the back, the screw that held in the hammer assembly was not in line with the screw hole on the frame. Was thinking of a new Glock but was going to wait for a gen 4 frame to appear but might just use either a guns modify frame or the new guarder frame, what do you think squad?

Squad 701 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hey Icolater, I think I have a new Guarder frame here somewhere, latest Euro version. I'll get back to you later, Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agent Hunk Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Anyone try to fit a rs plug in theirs? I'm looking @ lone wolf custom engraved I put a plug in my KJW. Took some light dremmel work because there was no hole on the inside for the plug arm thingie to attach to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
judgeman Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I appreciate it Hunk. I'll keep that in mind. I fear for my wallet as i'm already thinking of shoving whatever real steel parts I can into this one before I build my next one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bucko Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 After drooling over your guys' Glocks for so damn long, I picked up a TM Glock 17 recently. Unfortunately, it needs quite a bit of TLC, but it'll be a solid performer soon. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TB-Stalker Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 What slide is that you have on there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
emp3ror86 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) Nice one. I think that is a Guarder slide. Guns Modify said that it is just a month till they release their enchanced frame. So my TM CO2 Glock project shall continue soon.
