PlasticMag Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I'm looking at buying a KSC G34, adding a metal slide, homemade hiflows, a Guarder hammer spring, and a G&P recoil spring (and a tightbore, but that's superfluous for my question). With that setup could I rock a compensator like junior has on his Glock? Link to post Share on other sites
Husky Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 well juniors compensator is RS adapted to fit, which gave him a hell of a hard time. if you want to take the time i'm sure you could make it fit, but why make a g34 longer than it already is? Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Oh, because I'm compensating (did you see what I just did there?). Â No, in all seriousness I've long liked the look of the G34 with a compensator and an expanded magwell, and I was thinking about building one for *suitcases*/giggles. Junior, how much work did you have to do? Link to post Share on other sites
junior Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 (edited) Installing the compensator wouldn't be the tricky part, its getting the gun to cycle with the metal slide and threaded outer barrel. I used a threaded outer barrel because I couldn't think of any other way to attach the RS compensator without getting into heavy custom work. The only outer barrel for a G34 available right now is the G&G one, and they still tend to have a hard time cycling with metal slides. Â The RS compensator had different threads, not sure what they were exactly but they weren't 14mm (not that I was expecting them to be). Fortunately enough the 14mm threaded adapter that came with the G&G threaded barrel was able to slide right into the RS compensator, and held in place with a set screw. The only problems I really encountered with the compensator, was after firing about 20-30 rounds, the threaded adapter would work itself loose from the barrel. A little teflon tape fixed that. Â With a plastic slide, the gun cycled fine even with the stock internals. Because the original intention was to actually build a race gun, I left out most of the upgrades that increased the kick, or used more gas. I wasn't after a high FPS output, I was going more for cycle speed and accuracy, which is why the only internal upgrades the gun has (besides the custom tweaks) is a short stroke recoil rod and floating valve. Â The magwell was a whole different story. Pretty much all the work RSP1 had to do to his, I had to do to mine. Nothing a dremel and a file couldn't fix though.

AliceHKfan Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I really wish someone would make a 17L and make it more ridiculous with a threaded barrel Link to post Share on other sites
Romulus Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Â Pretty much bone stock KWA Glock 19. The slide was repainted before I bought it. Right now I am trying to decide whether it would be best to sell it or do some serious polishing and modding. Mainly though I just like this picture. Link to post Share on other sites
alark Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 My rather battered and bruised KWA G19 with BHI Serpa holster Only Mods are a Harder Recoil spring and a Polished (well sanded....) outer barrel and ejection port cover. Its been to every single skirmish i've been to and its never stopped working shouldnt have said that..... (first three taken with my 2Mp Mobile phone)     And one of the G18c (in holster) and G19 in my safe.... bit of fun   Hope you like *AL* aka Lofty Link to post Share on other sites

krame Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 (edited) My KWA G19 with sanded and polished slide. Plan on getting a ksc metal slide and guarder recoil rod(is it good?). Also can someone recommend some nice sights. Â Â Â Â Â Â Edited October 1, 2007 by krame Link to post Share on other sites
Bangla_Black Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Very nicely sanded! Link to post Share on other sites
mojo Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Â Yeah, its missing a trigger safety(soon to be remedied) but its my new baby...even took a hit the other night right on the logo... Link to post Share on other sites
the sniper Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Mojo I like it  what make is the gun and where did you get the magbases from. (did they need modding to fit)  Is the mag catch a real steel one or did you mod the original  Link to post Share on other sites
junior Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Nice Baseplates! Those are the Magpul's right? Link to post Share on other sites

SamJacksonFan Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Nice military look. I definitly like the sights. This magpul thing looks interesting, too. Have never seen something like that before. And i definitely have to take a closer look on the mag release button. Link to post Share on other sites
Haxortheworld Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 (edited) What kind of metal is the slide on the KWA G17? I was thinking of doing a polishing job like the one last page but I have no idea what kind of metal it is. Also, where can I get the parts required for the trigger safety?

the sniper Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 As I have just managed to borrow a Optima 2000 sight I thought I should put the pic up for all to see   Its going to cost me though as I will have to buy a J point now as the sight picture was great  Link to post Share on other sites
the sniper Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 If i'm going to write this out for MOE then it might as well be here for all to see  In no particular order  The glock 34 above is made from an old ksc frame (2pin and trades)  the internals of a new ksc glock 17  metal mag release (filed so it does not mark the mags)  g+g slide and outer barrel (hand picked in the uk due to g+g fit problems)  threaded silencer adaptor from barrel modded so inner barrel will fit and not lock the slide up)  km inner barrel from a ksc auto 9 (filled to fit)  silencer (cheap)  g+g sight mount for glock 17  real steel rear sight (bit obsolete now also needs new front sight)  nine ball g17 recoil rod (modded to fit a thicker shock rubber)  uprated recoil spring (from a spring web site)  hogue rubber grips  guarder hammer spring  airsoft surgon rocket valve (not the spring as it seems too strong)  hidakaya rocket valve spring  all mags have the km adjustable high flow valves in them (prefer the 50 round mags)  shooters design valve knocker  Link to post Share on other sites
tomster Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Serious piece you got there. Nice mods too, that's what I call custom. Loving the old 2-pin KSC frame too! Link to post Share on other sites
ViciousV10s Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 (edited) Nice Glock Sniper. You should put a Hidakaya 150% hammer spring, that'll provide suffient power to use the AS floating valve spring. Youll also notice quite a difference in power/performance. I found that the Hidakaya hammer spring was in fact stiffer than the Guarder. I also only use ET1600 or ET2200 Red gas in my Glocks and have no issues with the AS floating valve spring. Â Reminds me of a few of my older set ups. I miss my J-Points. Edited October 8, 2007 by ViciousV10s Link to post Share on other sites
the sniper Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Thanks ViciousV10s it is always good to get a thumbs up from the master  I will try that hammer spring if I can find one, but I do find the set up very balanced and efficient (it gets very good gas usage for a custom gun, 2 mags of bbs per fill, )  I will post the shuey / marui 34 when the j point and mount arrives  Link to post Share on other sites
ViciousV10s Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Well if the set up is working well for you I wouldn't worry about changing the hammer spring. I used the Hidakaya floating valve springs in all my Glocks for many years before the AS one came out and I was always pleased with the Hidakaya's performance. Your current setup is more than adequate so until you get the itch for more power I'd wait on swapping the hammer and foating valve springs. Â Look forward to seeing the Shuey with Jpoint pics.

mOrfar Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 can u fit that sight mount on a tm G17? Link to post Share on other sites
the sniper Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Yes I have tried it and it does BUT  The rail does not centre over the slide  the trigger pin hole would need moving slightly up  I think the trigger pin would fit (it is the same diameter and a similar length)  It would not make the rail removable as it is on the KSC because the trigger pin on the marui glock is only 1 pin whereas the trigger pin on the KSC is a pin that fits in a piece of tube an it's the tube that holds the trigger mech and other parts in place  hope this helps  Link to post Share on other sites
