You didnt even wipe the cosmoline off?

Or was it a matter of cosmoline you never knew was there was baking out in the 112 deg Texas sun?

I bet it was the later. LoL

I got it from the GlockStore. The factory polymer guide cracked at about 3k rounds. Its actually too lightweight. I am in like with the new one. I had a link about a month ago. I can’t dig it up now. The new SS guide rod is awesome.

Its quite heavy. Makes a BIG difference. You have to shoot a Glock regularly to ‘feel’ it. Like I said, I recommend.

My bet too.

I’ve had my M91/30 for going on three years now. I’m still finding cosmoline leaking out of spots.

Definitely the later, but it was still a whole lotta fun.

I did not realize the OE was a polymer guide but that makes sense since its a glock.

Very good. I am happy that its working for you.

Plan on it.

Flinch machine.

They definitely can be. I picked up a horrible flinch with mine when I first got it. Took a lot of work to train myself out of it. (And the recoil pad helped a bunch too.)

Put it in a black garbage sack and set it in the sun on a hot day.

You’ll be surprised what oozes out.
Then just wipe it down with paper towels.

It was build in Random, Poland

Anyone here had experience with the Osprey gas piston for AR15s? I am looking to add one to my ultra-lightweight Carbon Carbine from Bushmaster. Prices?

I can also purchase a heavier spring for the guiderod. ( This goes for most any model. Just putting the info out there. Glock will help you if you seek it.

I can also convert my G into other calibers. But, I won’t go into it here.

Glock is about comfort. They will accomadate ya.

I inadvertently did something similar to that.

I keep it in one of those inexpensive hard black plastic shell cases with the foam padding inside.

One hot afternoon at the range, I opened it up and found an outline of the gun in cosmoline soaked into the padding.

:)

I would think the recoil spring could help, but could also cause problems if it is too stiff.
