Are the Tokyo Marui Glock 17 nozzle and piston head a straight fit into a Guarder bbu?

Nice. Is that a replacement plate only, or a completely new slide?

I have a complete set of internals for the TM Glock 19 Gen 3. It's a long embarrassing story but I tried to put the TM frame internals into a Guarder frame. I have done this before with Guarder Glock 17 Gen 2 and 4 frames and encountered little or no difficulty. However the Glock 19 frame was anything but a straight fit. When I finally got them in, the slide stuck and I had to hammer it off. I tried again - first removing material from the inside of the frame and trying the slide again - and again and again and again, finally damaging the Guarder frame and breaking the TM slide. In the end I gave up, put the parts in a box and sold the magazine. So what I have now is a complete set of internal parts including bbu, outer and inner barrel, front and rear sights etc - everything except a slide, frame and magazine. I still have the original Marui frame which has a slight mark next to one of the assembly pin holes that you would probably not notice. Now, as I understand it, I can sell the parts without requiring a defence of the buyer, because they are only parts and not a rif. However I am thinking that it might be best not to include the TM frame, in case the authorities regard it as a part too far. I mean if a buyer could get the gun to work, he would only need a slide to have a full pistol. So forget the frame. Can I sell all the parts together to anyone whether they have a defence, or not, or should I sell them in smaller batches? It's no big either way for me but they are no use to me and so I thought somebody else might be able to make use of them for a small sum. If it I recently received a metal hi capa slide from Hong Kong which was delayed in customs. They asked me to complete a customs declaration form for firearms and threatened to charge me for storage. I wrote back to them explaining that I was importing a small metal part (an empty aluminium shell about 15cm long, 2cm wide and weighing about 80 grams) to replace a plastic part on an airsoft pistol already owned and had bought in England and that it was all perfectly legal. Eventually they relented and released the item on payment of 41 quid. This experience has made me a little nervous about what the law is, and just how well the civil servants know it.

Thanks for the tip. I will look into the nineball option.

That's right. I know they make non tilting barrels for hi capas but I didn't realise they made them for other pistols. And as you say the non tilting barrels work because they sit lower in the action and the slide makes little or no contact with them. I know this is in Spanish but the bloke in the video below like the appearance of the Guarder Sig P226 kit but encountered lots of different problems with the fitting which he could not resolve eg. he ended up using the plastic TM outer barrel and ditching the Guarder steel one. He liked the look of the kit but would never recommend it to anyone. He says it takes a lot of work and still doesn't function properly.

I have nothing against tilting barrels per se. I just don't like steel tilting barrels under aluminium slides.

Frankly I do not like tilting steel outer barrels on gbb pistols. If I wanted to put a Guarder (or other) aluminium slide on a TM Glock would I have to have a metal outer barrel, or could I continue to use the Marui plastic one?. My pistols don't get any hard use. I never skirmish them. I believe KWA use plastic outer barrels on their guns even though the slides are metal, so it must be feasible.

Oh dear. My commiserations. I can't think of any good reason why they should be allowed to get away with what they did to your gun. What gives the government the right to damage your property without apologising or paying compensation? What a crappy country we have become. Thanks for letting me know. I won't hold my breath.

I have a complete set of internals for a TM Glock 19 Gen 3 - everything from both the frame and slide, but no magazine -. I broke the slide when putting a Guarder nylon frame on the gun. I also managed to destroy the Guarder frame. Long story. Since they are parts, can you confirm that I can sell them as a complete set without requiring UKARA? When I say complete set I mean everything including the parts in the slide - outer and inner barrel, hop up, bbu and nozzle, front and rear sights, recoil spring and guide. The only part that needs replacing is the slide stop spring which is bent out of shape somewhat. I even have the original TM frame though I am reluctant to include it in the package, because then all the gun would need is a new slide. ie. it would be 90% of a rif. I am beginning to wonder whether I should sell them in smaller batches rather than as a complete set, to avoid any misunderstanding with the law. Or maybe I should just buy a new slide and keep the gun. If I put a metal slide on it, would I be able to keep the plastic outer barrel. KWA pistols all have metal slides and plastic outer barrels, so I imagine so

I have a parcel from Hong Kong currently at Castle Donington. Tracking it has been bringing up contradictory messages for the last three or four days. Today for example it shows as still not having completed clearance (it has been in the clearance process for several days} and yet is expected to be delivered in Greater Manchester by the end of the day. I got the same message yesterday, and nothing happened, so I am wondering when I will eventually get it. It is not a large or expensive item - just a metal slide without an outer barrel for a Marui pistol. Anybody else had this sort of problem?

Thanks for the reply, and the offer. It is a 4.3 barrel I am looking for.

Pay a little more and get a WE Glock. They are generally well regarded.

Yes, thanks. But it was the black outer barrel I was interested in. The breech block on it appears to be hexagonal or at least not round. And the Barrel has a couple of cut outs towards the end which are visible through the limcat slide.

If you don't mind me asking, what make is the outer barrel you have the black slide version? Is it by chance an Edge Hexa?

Thanks for the reference.

Thanks for the reply. I already have several levers. All I need is the spring.

Can't find a replacement slide stop lever spring for a TM Glock 19 gen 3. WE G 17 equivalents are available. Can anyone tell me if the WE and Marui springs are compatible. And if I wanted to install a reinforced hammer spring to prevent light strikes, could you please advise me which are the most suitable. I tend to like 120% but I suppose 140% might be OK.

Thanks for the reply and offer of advice.. I will post a picture but it will have to be a bit later in the day.

The little brass tube embedded in the nylon frame for the screw that connects the hammer block of my Glock19 to the rear of my Guarder frame has broken off. Would I best be advised to put it back and pack JB Weld around it, or just fill in the hole with JB Weld, and screw into when it has cured? There are so many types of JB Weld - quick weld, plastic weld, plastic bonder, original steel reinforced, steel stick etc - and I'm not sure which would be best. I'm thinking the quick setting metal reinforced original is probably the one to go for . Or should I try one of the alternatives like Araldite? The only epoxy filler I have any experience of is Milliput, and I doubt that would be appropriate for the job.

Thanks for the response. Luck of the draw then?

Thanks Krisz CrO-Magnon, may I ask if you found the fitting of the Guarder gen 4 Glock kit relatively straightforward or problematic?

Yes, you are probably right mate. I am a bugger for tinkering with things though. I probably get more pleasure from messing about with them than shooting them.😄

When fitting a metal slide to TM pistols one is advised to get a reinforced nozzle. However I have heard that Guarder nozzles don't fit the TM Glock bb units but only the Guarder ones. So, if I were to get a Guarder bb unit as well, might this result in misalignment problems with the TM hop unit? Will the Guarder bbu and nozzle work OK with the rearmost TM parts - piston head etc. - or do they also need replacing?

I am not interested in the slide and outer barrel at this stage. I know these can be a problem to fit. However I am considering swopping only the Marui plastic frame with a Guarder one. I know I will encounter problems and I just wondered if anyone on here can tell me where those problems are likely to arise. I might be lucky and get a straight fit, but knowing Guarder that is unlikely. It might help me if I had some idea what to look out for.

Thanks for the reply. I have recently discovered that painting powder coated metal is not a straightforward thing. It requires a lot of sanding, followed by a coat of primer and then a top coat. I just can't be bothered with all that, so I am exploring other possibilities such as self adhesive vinyl sheets. Thanks again.
