Okay, so my first go around I had the slide stop/take down reveresed and every round that gun loaded itself was a light primer strike. I figured it out and outright replaced it with a wolf extended take down.
Now here’s the thing about it, he other one when facing properly would allow you to just put the slide straight back on, you didn’t need to hold the take down to get the slide and barrel back on. This one you have to hold it down slightly. Not sure if that is a fitment issue or not.
So back to the range and 180 rounds later and I had about 12 light primer strikes. Mostly early. Mostly UMC 115gr or federal aluminum 115gr. I had zero with federal 115gr brass cased, but one stove pipe. With PPU M882 124gr I had 1 light strike, 1 stove pipe and 2 rounds that didn’t quite chamber stuck about 1/4” open and I had to smack the slide (but it fired fine each time).
Operating the slide by hand it seems really smooth, though I don’t have another Glock to compare it to.
My best guess is it needs more wear, better lubrication (I had hit all of the points, but when I got it home it seemed kind of dry) and/or possibly taking a stone to some of the barrel/slide surfaces.
The barrel on the rear has a rough edge, I think from where I had the thing jammed when I assembled it without the recoil spring and it jammed up hard (I had to hit the slide HARD on the edge of a shelf to get it loose). It isn’t really badly messed up, but very slightly rough now.
There is some wear on the finish in the inside, underside of the slide. Ramp appears fine.
I’ll post pictures of these wear points.
Thoughts? Smooth the rough surfaces on the barrel/rail/licking block interfaces then lube ajd must run a few hundred more rounds through it? Something else going on?
If it matters it tends to eject close to straight up and slightly right. I got about 8 casing to the forehead, but 80% of them are landing about 2-8 feet to my 3 o’clock with a few landing such that they bounce to my left and a few back behind me (or obviously to the forehead).
