Talking Fami's G' Series. The hatred is real!

A new thread for all my Glock tinkering.

I started out with buying a WE G17 (Gen 4) and I decided that
I like Glocks. However after purchasing a few aftermarket parts
the decision was to get rid of it and only focus on the TM platform.
So I ordered a G17 from Greece. Why? Because they are a part of
Europe. And parcels between EU countries doesn't have the need
get taxes or duties. Also, the price was like 70-80€ cheaper from
there. The Tokyo Marui platform is always around 250€. Where as
this shop in Greece sells them for between 150 - 200€ depending on
which product it is. Sweet. Took them like 4 days to send it here!

So...not long after that I started to order parts and here's the list
I ordered so far:

Guns Modify TM Glock Extended Slide Stop (Silver)
Guns Modify CNC G17 Blowback Housing Set
Guns Modify CNC GBBU Rear Plate (Secret)
Guns Modify Reinforced High Flow Nozzle Set
Guns Modify SAI Aluminum Adjustable Trigger (Silver)
Guns Modify Extended Slide Lock (Silver)
Guns Modify Zero hammer Set
Guns Modify Reinforced Titanium Coated Trigger Bar

Guarder Frame(Gen 3, TAN)
Guarder Beaver Grid (Gen 3, TAN)
AIP Loading Nozzle Springs (just in case)
Ready Fighter SAI Style Glock Trigger set (Black)
Thunder Airsoft Aluminum CNC Mag Catch (Silver)

S.R.U. Mechanic slide set. (G34 OD)
S.R.U. Mechanic Holster.

No. I do not know how much this is, I didn't count.
Yes, I have a problem.

The only pics I have of the pretty much stock G17 (except the trigger and slide lock).

Please keep up with the de-starring, it's just a booster for me!

Why didn't you put this in one of the other Glock threads?

Is there something special here?

Not sure I want to clutter them down with my long posts and elaborate texts.
I have a Hi-Capa thread as well, not sure why this is any different.

People sure are nice on this forum aren't they? ._.
I sure do attract all the bullies.

Don't judge a book by it's cover.

Time to be nice back and actually contribute with some beginner tutorials and some
high quality comparisons. People who are disassembling their G17 for the first time
might be confused with the small parts when assembling. Here is a comparison
between the stock Tokyo Marui slide release and the one from Guns Modify. I tried
to make the instructions as clear as possible. Hope it helps.

Enjoy.

My own comparison between the Guarder Gen3 grip
and Tokyo Marui's stock. My first impression when
holding it was that it felt somehow nicer than the stock
and immediately when looking inside the frame - the
front post is now reinforced, very nice. It's a shame
that they haven't released a version where the rear post
is reinforced as well. There's a grip / frame made by
Guns Modify, which is reinforced at the rear post as well
but I haven't seen those anywhere but on their own
website.

Although, when installing this, there will, most likely be
problems. When I moved over the internals to the Guarder
frame and racked the slide - of course there was issues of
the slide getting some really hard contact with the frame.
The guide rod spring was way too weak to push the slide
back, so it just got stuck and I had to put some force onto
it to get it back. So I have been studying it a little and saw
that there was a noticeable difference between the chassi
and the actual grip / frame. Check the images and you will
know what I'm talking about.

Have too many images of the internals and stuff to post so I'll settle for
these in progress photos. I haven't gotten the slide to move freely just
yet. Still have to modify the rails a bit. And I wasn't happy with the Tan/DE
frame so I ordered an OD one as well. I also noticed that my front post on
that OEM frame already split and I haven't even used it that much stock.
That's sad.

However, enjoy the photos. Or not.

Thank you, thank you! Pics were also uploaded by "S.R.U GBB"
on their FB page.

It's pretty impressive how they make everything in house. Only
3pcs of these comes out of their shop per day.

This slide kit comes with instructions on how to modify your rails
to make the action smooth. You may or may not have to do some
other fitment depending on if you have swapped out parts in your
hammer assembly etc. I'll be uploading some more info and stuff
as I get time.

Thanks yo. Although it's been one heck of a process to get it to cycle. Geez.
Had to file down the bbu carefully, the outer barrel chamber, the hop base
some modifications to the hammer assembly...had to shave stuff inside the
slide. ETC ETC.




My other project - the Caspian MK II has almost been completed. The progress
images will be uploaded at some other time when I feel like it. I modified the
WE G17 hammer housing to fit and function just fine along with other things.

The sights I bought just to replace the shitty OEM ones are also shitty - but at
least they won't break. They're by the brand 5KU and did not fit without
modifications. Careful filing did the work.

, Sweden, unfortunately. Canada is much nicer!

Started to do something I have thought about for a long time.
Attempt to make a nice mirror polish on the sides of the
Caspian MKII slide. This is after a few hours to get most of the
matte finish away. I used P80 grid. Next I guess a steady walk
of sanding from 100 - 200 grid. Boy oh boy is it going to fun.



Oh right. I also used the stock TM frame as a test dummy for my
first G-frame stippling process. I took a cordless dremel with one
of those stone sanding bits (pics to come) and started to work the
frame in a way so that the original texture melted off and merged
with the frame. Almost done with 1 side and the front part under
the trigger guard.
