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.

Yeah it looks like they are back to regular price as of today. The serrations over the top aren't my favorite either but I'm ok with it

I used a grinding wheel on a dremel for 90% of the work then a sanding drum a little and then sandpaper by hand
I was thinking that it would be good to have a dos and don’ts post somewhere for those who have theoretically done this and those that are theoretically interested in only the process and have absolutely zero intention of actually doing it.

I have a friend that built a 26 that wedges the round and won’t chamber. Any ideas where to start?
It sounds like it may be the guide rod channel. I had to sand it down a bit to go into full battery.

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 brother has one that has a small issue with taking it down. After making safe and pulling the trigger the slide/barrel wont slide off until he pulls the trigger back all the way while sliding slide forward. TIA

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?
Oh....come on!
ZOMG, ghost gunz
OK, I see whatcha mean...
Nice Ghost Family though.

I used this method as well glad I saw this suggestion before I started mine

Yes. It feels like its getting hung up on the striker the slide moves forward about an inch then have to pull trigger.

Also, make sure that the spring for the "take down" lever is fully seated. It goes down a lot. I made that mistake twice.
Tin snips still cheaper and faster. Then finish offf with sandpaper

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?

Yeah, it works a little better but still not good enough to try putting bullets in it. I even took the rails off, filed some underneath, put everything back together, lightly sanded the rails but same issue. Looks like the rails are still making contact with the underside of the slide, might just need to do some more sanding but didn’t want to go too crazy with it and have just been busy the past week.
