Alias1983 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Guarder tm g17 threaded. The unthreaded one did not function in this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Hmm.... now I want a Timberwolf frame....... or a way to make extended beavertail out of thin air Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Get a Timberwolf Frame and you can guid yourself a Salient Arms Blu. That's pretty much all SAI did. Timberwolf frame + trigger guard undercuts + stippling for the frame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Also brass (?) grip insert AFAIK those Timerwolves are either out of stock or sold out here, sooooooooo looking at methods of home grew extended beavertail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 https://youtu.be/5FoUUPrXhBw?t=51s Hmmmmm interesting, not sure if I can do this to a Guarder frame, while adding some metal rods into the holes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alias1983 Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 You should be able to get a TW on most sites. I know Evike has them as its the only g17 we can really get here. I just need an hk3p g17 slide and I can get one its I'm not sure about the importation of one. I've imported a colt lower for me we m4 a couple years ago just fine, idk if the same will be said for a slide of an HK item. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CZFan Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 https://youtu.be/5FoUUPrXhBw?t=51s Hmmmmm interesting, not sure if I can do this to a Guarder frame, while adding some metal rods into the holes Absolutely. I've used ITW plastiweld and 3M (1838L if you want to go overboard) epoxies to literally build 3ft long load bearing arms for my RC projects (1/10 scale). I used scrape aluminum U and I beams for inner support and to fill up the space a bit. You can also use ball bearings or pellets from airguns for off places where you cant fit straight metal if you so wish. Just don't forget to really gauge the metal so that the epoxy can grip it hard. This is really advisable for plastic epoxies that use heat to adhere to plastic (which wont work on metal). So you create friction grooves and its rock reliable adhesion. I highly recommend using power tools to sand it down to shape tho, like a belt sander. Sanding these 4000+ psi epoxies by hand is beyond nightmare. Then if you want baby smooth surface, use Tamiya putty to fill microholes and sand smooth with 600-800 grit. Hope this helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jv83 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Not a SAI fan but its about time someone did a 17L! Very cool I must say. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alias1983 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) So I'm contemplating getting a whole hk3p g17 for my TW build(spare parts never hurt to have), over just the slide. I never ordered a g series from HK before so should I have them ship the slide and lower separately because USA customs. I'm thinking of using crw.

BioRage Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Your stippling is hideous.. Sorry.. Use the UAC tool @bigal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dj_komodo Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Awesome upper mate, but like Biorage said, you need to work on your lower a little more... You need to prepare your lower a lot more before you can stipple it, sand down all the edges and dont press that hard with the soldering iron, and don't make a pattern except the outer lines. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I like the results you get when you stipple like this http://arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/134123-glock-picture-thread/page-110&do=findComment&comment=2554834 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rainer1989 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 It's a practice with the Marui frame, thanks for all the advices, I will use them with the Guarder frame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Guarder is a whole different story, the glass-ish fiber reinforced plastic material acts really eh, weird, just don't expect same "response" as Marui's ABS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BioRage Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 G17 TM GM Costa RMR kit This makes me want a glock, ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh fap. Problem is sourcing that slide, hah. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Rainer's stippling looks like it'd do the job of providing more grip and traction... Anyway, picture thread. Stark 17 Gen 4, no idea how long it'll actually hold up, but if I want performance I have my stock TMs and looks wise you can't bear these things for the price to my mind. Great training piece and does what I'd need as a CQB backup. Edited October 19, 2015 by CKinnerley 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LJ.NL Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Nice CKinnerley, quick question: how is the wear on the outer barrel (top of chamber and barrel part)? On my SA G19 it's a pain in the 'eye'.. :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
