It can be done with just a Dremel. Of course I'm completely talking about in theory.
+1, I am 100% certain that in theory you can successfully complete the task with your Dremel.

The Brownells certainly seem to be a deal. For some reason, I just really don't like the way they look with the serrations going over the top. Also, I just looked back and apparently the non-RMR cut ones are no longer on sale.
QUESTION: I have a drill press, but my skills are minimal, especially in a milling operation.
I see videos of folks carving out the excess or using a Dremel. My Dremel skills are OK and it looks doable. Is this a reasonable path? Thanks.
I used a grinding wheel on a dremel for 90% of the work then a sanding drum a little and then sandpaper by hand
This. Same problem I had.It sounds like it may be the guide rod channel. I had to sand it down a bit to go into full battery.
Methinks this thread goes against one of the reasons people are building up 80s. Keepin' it on the low low.
For people asking the best way to remove the rails on the frame, use some heavy duty nippers to cut them right off. Its much better than sanding them down. I've done several frames this way.
My guess is the trigger bar is not shaped correctly and doesn't push past the plunger in the fired position. Are you running a Glock OEM trigger?
Recommend Dremel Tungsten Carbide Cutter 9901. It cuts away the polymer like butter.
This was my first build of anything and I was really excited to do it, spent way too much on “upgrade” parts but I have spares and I like the custom look.
Still needs a little work to get it fully functional but it goes together, just can’t get it to rack easily or takedown easily. Will explain problem further later, wanted to post something after looking at 50 pages of pictures.
Picture shows initial build before replacing the guide rod and trigger assembly while trying to troubleshoot the problem. Will post new pics once everything functions properly.
Rock slide USA complete upper with stainless barrel
Stainless guide rod with 15 pound spring
Stainless extended mag release and slide lock
Steel City Arsenal trigger (silver with black safety) and polished bar
Ghost 3.5 pound connector and Wolf 6 pound trigger spring
Stainless pins
Cain Arms magwell and plug
Other parts mostly OEM
Looking good, I’d venture to say that it’s probably the slide hanging up on the rails, have you tried racking the slide without barrel/spring?
