Silencerco barrels on sale.

For anyone who might be interested, Lone Wolf is clearing out their line of Stainless barrels made in South Korea by Dasan in Favor of their new "Alpha Wolf" nitrided line of barrels. I own several of these Dasan made stainless barrels, they are well made, reliable, and accurate, and as good as any brand of barrel I've ever used in a Glock. If you were ever thinking of trying a caliber conversion on one of your Glock's this is a good opportunity to get a quality barrel at a great price. They also have stock length, extended length, and threaded barrels.

Thanks Doc. I used code "nbb" to get an extra 11% off and free shipping on your Brownells link.

I have a real bad feeling though that these 2 barrels are going to cost me close to a $1,000 in ancillary equipment and tax stamps.

Happy to help. :lol2:

I used a Swenson slide. I had to do a little fitting of the barrel to get it to work. Don't know whether the problem was the barrel or the slide (my guess is the slide).

I seems you can get deals on just about everything you need right now. My total bill came to $617. That includes a Brownell slide w/F serrations and window on top, AmeriGlo sights and a Glock G17C barrel (w/compensator slits on top of barrel). No fancy innards, just stock LPK, slide kit, recoil spring and 10rd mag. All new parts

I checked the price of a plain G17 without compensator and after shipping FFL and taxes it came to $605 so its costing 12 bucks more to make but its compensated and with upgraded sites.

The next trick will be to assemble it and hope it runs

After BF sales I can see someone building a plain jane P80 for sub $500

Frame $106 shipped
Brownells Slide was $152 shipped
Leaving you about $250 for OEM glock upper/lower parts kit with trigger, mag, sights and barrel

I wish they had a deal like this for a full G34 build.

$599 is pretty close to buying a new one with tax and fees etc..

Where did you see G34 Slide for $400?

Thanks

I wish there were more 40 s&w slides and parts available.

Get a Glock 17 upper and I will trade you my Glock 22 upper for it.

Brychan · Dec 12, 2017

I would like to build the upper, I'm really happy with the 17 I built. So I'm not really looking for an actual glock upper. Also it won't be until next year sometime before I can afford another build.

There are plenty. They're damn near worthless. I don't even try selling them.

Well, if you want to give one or two away...

But next year for me too. Still have to finish my first one, actually.

I don't even bother trying to obtain them. The 9mm slides sell so much better. I did run into a vendor at the gun show who sells off LE surplus .40 slide assembles with dead night sights for $360. She said she sells plenty.

That's about market price for a Glock 22 full kit with night sights (or a complete gun with night sights and mags for that matter).

Just realized that all polymer80 kits are compatible with Glock gen3 only, not gen4.
So my plan of mixing .22 conversion kit for g19 gen4 with a polymer80 kit is apparently DOA.

You can use the Gen4 slide and one company has the patented piece to cover up the gap on the guide rod but I believe I read you should not use the Gen4 guide rod’s with the poly80 frame but instead the gen3 guide rod ? I’ll have to look it up.. It’s been questioned a dozen times or so on what exactly needed to be done thru other groups/boards

One adapter is to put a longer Gen 3 slide on a shorter Gen 4 frame. There is another adapter that allows you to put a Gen 3 recoil spring in a Gen 4 gun (slide and frame).

You can't physically fit a Gen 4 slide on a Gen 3 frame without grinding out the dust cover. I don't believe the 80% frames have enough plastic to grind away.

There is no adapter to put a Gen 4 slide on a Gen 3 frame, because it's physically impossible to use a spacer to remove material. It only adds it.

Got it.
I have g19 gen4, and want to add a polymer80 compatible. So that's not gonna happen. Had I known what I know now, would have bought a gen3.
