Smith5 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hi all. Im upgrading my KSC G34 and I would like some advice from someone with a bit more experience then myself. As it is at the moment it is as stock, with the KSC metal barrel and slide. So far all I have installed (successfully) is an AS floating valve; I am still using the stock spring for the valve however. I plan on doing the following things to the gun in hope of upping its performance: -Floating valve -Hi flow valve into the mags -Stronger recoil spring -Stronger hammer spring -KM teflon tightbore -SD reinforced loading ramp (or KSC part 8 for the G19 assuming its metal, would this fit?) Thats for starters. Ive seen loads of other stronger/reinforced/aftermarket etc parts whilst browsing WGC (which is where I think im going to order most of this stuff from) but dont know what else or if anything extra is worth getting? I want to squeeze every last ounce of performance out of this pistol as its my preffered primary for pistol only games. Also, I have seen on fire-support the hurricane tuneup kit (http://www.fire-support.co.uk/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=1134). This contains a new recoil spring and guide rod, hiflow valve, hammer spring and floating valve (which I know is w*nk from reading up on stuff, I wouldnt be using anyway). Is this kit worth the money or would buying the same parts separately from other manufactureres be better? What do people think, does this sound like a good line plan of upgrades? Should I change/add any other parts? Should I not bother with anything Ive mentioned or change anything Im planning on doing? Lots of questions, but its the first time I'll have done anything this big to a gun and I just want some further input and advice. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Spencedaddy Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 ummm.if you haven't already gotten it, a metal slide is the way to go..you don't get that extra ROF, but who cares...i dropped my G17 out of a window and its fine..ya know why? the metal slide was so high quality, all it did was scratch...perfectly functional gun!

Smith5 Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Its already got a metal slide and barrel fitted. They came stock with the gun when I bought it. Link to post Share on other sites
hkssr20det Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I don't like the Hurricane tune up kits. The floating valve is junk, and the hi flow doesn't work. I think you should find a PGC Hi Flow (Chrono proven gains) KM Glock 34 barrel Guarder Recoil Guide rod That actual set up shot over 350 for me (in a G18C). I would avoid the hammer spring since it does boost fps some, but generally makes cycling a bit more notchy. Link to post Share on other sites
gisburn20 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 the upgraded hammer spring ruins the trigger pull too in my opinion. Jim Link to post Share on other sites
Nitemare1 Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 If the mag catch is plastic, bin it n fit a metal one.. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuri Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 What do you guys think is the best high flow valve for a KSC Glock? I've bought a bunch and they all seem to suck. Hurricane just didn't have the power, Nine-ball didn't work with green gas and G&G was just too high. It's possible that they just don't work becuase my Glock is ancient.

Wege Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 If the mag catch is plastic, bin it n fit a metal one.. not the metal.. the real magazine catch. Link to post Share on other sites
Smith5 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Id love a RS mag catch, a long one like it has at the moment. Kinda hard finding them though and american retailers seem to be reluctant to ship gun parts the UK from reading a few websites. I also wanted tritium sites and a RS Glock tac light but again, getting them to the UK seemed to be the problem. Link to post Share on other sites

The PGC Hi Flow (available from UNCo and GnG) posted the highest gains for me. You can check chrono numbers here but those numbers are with a fully upgraded gun. Link to post Share on other sites
Nitemare1 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 not the metal.. the real magazine catch. Like Smith said, bit hard to get hold of RS bits in Ol' Blighty.. Local gun shop wouldn't even add a set of grips for my 1911 to his next Pachmeyr order(recoil pads) Link to post Share on other sites
Wege Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 ok.. time to find that friendly ol' yank... eh? Link to post Share on other sites
Cannonfodder80 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 If yuor after tritrium sights airsoft world can fit them but they say you have to send the gun to them Edit: forgot about this address shamlessly nicked from another thread http://www.nitesiters.com/ Link to post Share on other sites
s85sss Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 in my g26 i put: hidakaya hammer spring sd floating valve km sti edge 5.5 inner barrel unco upgraded recoil spring and valve and other bits i don't remember.it shoots consistently.i've choosen these parts because i heard here that were pretty good.i would go with glock standard adjustable sights.but since g34 already has adjustable sights why don't keep those?

Smith5 Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Today I fitted the tighbore I ordered. It went in easily and I think everything has gone back together correctly. I dont have the range to check I havent fcuk'd the hop-up up. The plan was to test the normal barrel against the new tighbore so I could see for myself the imporvement (if any) in the accuracy. However, I was a little too enthusiastic with the lube when putting everything back together and now the bb's please themself as far as aiming goes as i think there is too much silicon spray in the hop. Ill try gain later when I have a bit more time. With the first few mags fired, when cocking the gun to load the first round, the slide stopped short by about 1mm of returning to battery, but there was no resistance if I nudged it the last bit. After a few mags this problem dissapeared. The gun cycles and fires normally as far as I can tell. The major difference I did notice immediately is that the recoil is a lot harder than before, and the noise produced is different (my friend in the room also commented on this). Is this normal? Id assume it is. It does feel like it is shooting harder now than before, but without a chrono handy I dont know what the FPS was or now is. Link to post Share on other sites
