Guarder frame on a TM Glock22

[emilianoksa]

I have two WE Glocks and I have been perfectly happy with them, but I wanted to try one of the TM ones.

 

I have always thought the best looking Glock frame was the Gen 2 (the one without a rail). Since Guarder makes one of these for Gen 3  TMs  and the Glock 22 has some little improvements over the original Gen 3, I decided to go for that one over the latest Gen 4.

 

I have a very specific purpose in mind for this new purchase. I intend to keep it all plastic, and use it only with 144a in my garden. Velocity is not important to me. But I do want to get rid of that ABS frame.

 

I feel confident enough to transfer the TM parts into the Guarder frame, but I understand there can be a problem with the main frame screw on Guarder frames. Apparently it can result in the slide not being completely aligned with the rails. I understand that shimming will fix this, but I don't really understand where the shims should go. 

 

I would be grateful if rocketdogbert or any other experienced pistol builder could advise me.

AEG shims under the front rail, around the rail post.

You won’t always need them, only sometimes

Thanks a lot.
