[ILLusion]

Did you have to modify the rail to allow your TLR-1 to fit?

I found the rail "notch" to be too thin for my TLR-2 and required modding.

On another note, I've already destroyed my slide. The walls that push the chamber forward got bashed to sh!t in less than 3 mags of firing. I was using a ProG4 one-piece stainless steel outer barrel and an Airsoft Surgeon 140% spring. For 140%, that spring is incredibly strong - much stronger than a Guarder 150%. I think that may have been the cause.

Anyways, the barrel doesn't return to battery properly now and the slide over runs the chamber. Makes the slide useless... ugh.

I'll have to find a solution similar to Carl's with the barrel bushing that allows the slide to engage and "pull" the outer barrel forward.

Prior to the destruction, I was also having a hard time getting it to lock back. I could get it to lock back on the first couple of shots, but not on the latter shots. Movement was friction-free... so I'm not sure what the problem was. The stroke was definitely ending early. Unfortunately, the slide was damaged prior to me being able to swap the stock recoil spring in to see if that would solve the problems.

My front serration is lining up perfectly with the frame.

I had to do a bit of filing to the mid-frame to allow my Nova beavertail to install properly.
