Could also be that you’re using gas thats too strong so the slide travels back and forth too fast to lock back.

As Rostock… above mentioned, be aware that TM pistols have plastic slides due to japanese firearm laws. They are great for actuall games. But if you’re goin for realistic backyard plinking at short distances you’d be better of with a metal slide. Go for something cheap that appeals to you, like a WE or KJW. Or even a Vorsk. At 10ft it doesnt really matter. As for lubricants just go with something Ptfe or lithium for metal on metal, silicone grease for plastic parts, dont overdo it. Have a read around, dont spray your entire gun with silicone oil. As for bb weight, well for garden plinking it doesnt matter much, .25 will do more then fine unless your garden is huge.

Could be that the magazine spring has started to loose some tension.

When you say nothing happens, do you also mean that the slide doesnt cycle?

Nothing is unbreakable, ”upgrade” or not. The glue solution probably wont last long. Besides, if something is to break, you want it to be in the bbu, preferably the nozzle. Easy and cheap to replace. Don’t spend crazy money on a ”superreinforcedmetalyadidady-meganozzle” just to have something else, more expensive in your gbb soak up the pressure and break.

I mean the small pin at the end of the spring. The spring works fine without it. Or maybe I misunderstod

I think it will work fine without it

Its the same as for glock, 1911 and hi capa. edit: Something like this

G17 P80/Razorback Wanted to build something really aggressive after my latest kind of plain gen2 glock. This was the result. TM G17 gen3 donorgun. And I kind of dislike rmrs on pistols but somehow it feelt right to put one on this little monster.

Sounds strange. I run autobot 50s with I keys and crazy jets in several of my glock builds and they work great. Granted I usually go with the stock TM chamber. But I have at least one glock with the ML chamber and an autobot with no issues. edit: The MR rubber is also good imho

If the pistol works and cycles as it should I wouldn’t mess with the hammer assembly. Wait til something brakes. A stronger hammer spring might introduce new cycling problems and should really only be installed if the pistol is light striking. Nice beefy mount btw! Truly horrendous

I’ve found that an autobot 50 rubber with an I-key does the job pretty well

Personally I don’t see the point in using anything heavier than .28s in a pistol. But yes, a Maple leaf hop and rubber with an I-key will boost hop performance greatly.

I use a lot of guarder stuff when building pistols and don’t have any major problems. I have no experience on the particular slide you mentioned but don’t see why there would be problems based on it being a guarder one. Don’t think there’s any need for you to worry. I say go.. Also never had any problems using steel outer barrels with alu slides. If anything I like the extra weight added towards the front of the pistol since gbbs mostly are unbalanced with all the weight towards the back in the mag.

So before I used a tekmat when fiddlin my glocks. Which is kind of crap since the tekmat is black/dark grey and all the tiny screws and springs are also black. So today I got this in the mail from ali. About 10£ posted. Light blue soldering mat. Got magnetic compartments and all. No more wasting fiddlintime looking for a screw!

Fjällräven (The mountain fox), is a high end swedish brand thats been around for ages. They’re renowned for their quality in Sweden. Have had a few different products from them and never been let down. Its pricey but will last a long time.

Its the Guarder steel slide. It was a pretty straight forward build. Then as always with a heavy steel slide it took some experimenting to maximize performance. Right now I can get around 15 shots out of it. Going to install a purple nineball gas router to better the gas seal a bit. But then again I built this for the feel and looks. Not for performance In the field. Although I of course want it to function as its supposed.

Going old school. Last build before summer. Also my my favourite Glock mod. Clean and easy. Glocks was Sexy AF whitout rmrs and lights Miss the 90ies G17 gen2 with steel slide. Built on a TM

I would say hell no. They’re already spamming airsoftsociety.com with badly concealed marketing

In Sweden the equivalent to the classifieds on here is called Dustyguns.se Every once in a while the AK5C or AK5D shows up there. Might also be worth posting a wanted ad. Someone might be willing to ship to the UK. Just beware of scammers, not that it’s common but occasionally people get scammed. Edit: Hit ”Visa filter” —-”Kategorier” —-”airsoft” —- ”Karbiner” —- ”Visa annonser” to get to the carbines section.

470 g, that must be the lightest G17 yet. Too light imo

If you like the P09 just go with that. I’ve had a couple over the years and I always enjoyed shooting them. They have a great feel to them. And they make a good starter gun. They come with either a metal or a plastic slide. If you’re gonna play during the winter (low temperatures) go with the plastic. Otherwise the metal slide is nice. Avoid the co2 mags as it might shot a tad hot. Greengas works just fine. If you want an upgradable workhorse go with a TM Glock 17 gen4 or 5. Its pretty much the exact same size as the P09. If you want something a bit more compact the TM G19 gen4 is great. Just be aware that all TMs come with a plastic slide (whitch is a good thing performance wise.)

You could also go for a G22 holster. That will fit the off-spec, wider slide on the TM/WE G17 gen3.

Never tried but no. Can’t see how that could work. Kind of curious though why you’re asking?

Definitely WE. Their glocks are rather good nowadays and they’re TM spec so there’re tons of aftermarket parts. Stay well clear of anything Raven or Vorsk. It will break sooner than later. If you want the best glock that will hold up for ages and shoots great, have a look at TM. Although they have a plastic slide.
