Glock Connector polishing notes

Do a basic polish. When that is done put a very slight bevel on the face of the ledge.

Glock Trigger Shoe Modifications

The above are average measurements. It is polymer, it moves so you will not get consistent measurements. They are mass produced and can vary in size between batch runs. The trigger I had at the time had the above measurements. Yours might vary. “A” was my distance to the center of the trigger bar slot.

We want to get the screw hole centered in front of the trigger bar slot (A) left to right and at the height of the front curve.

You are going to need Standard Trigger:

 2 - 56 3/16 long stainless steel socket set screw 
 2 - 56 3/8 long stainless steel socket set screw for trigger bar
 .035 Allen Wrench
 #50 drill bit
 2 - 56 tapered tap

You are going to need Performance Trigger:

 2 - 56 3/16 long stainless steel socket set screw
 2 - 56 3/8 long stainless steel socket set screw for trigger bar
 .035 Allen Wrench
 #50 drill bit
 2 - 56 tapered tap

Using the #50 drill bit, drill a hole 9 mm down and center of the trigger bar slot. Make sure it is straight. I use my Dremel Drill press to do this. Slowly work the 2 – 56 tap through it.

Front Shot:

Looks pretty centered:

While I am at it, I drilled and tapped the safety and trigger bar holes with the above tools and threaded in 2 – 56 x 3/8” set screws

Once I am confident that everything is setup correctly, I will seal the deal with Loctite 425

I modified the safety on this trigger as well

Here is what the trigger safety looks like unmodified:

There are 4 different cuts I am going to try.

Never cut off more than shown in the last example.

Here is the start of my testing:

Foredom Yoke

I wanted to make a Yoke assembly for my Foredom motor, something like this one.

I had this big bearing from a previous project. This led me to create 2 versions:

Big Bearing:

And a standard 608 Skate Board Bearing version:

The insert works for both:

Looks and works pretty good! I have been using the large bearing version for around 6 months with no issue. I am not a heavy Foredom user, it is a tool in my tool box.

A bore guide with holding pin for AR-10 .308

I have been using a bore guide on my AR15s for several years. I recently purchased a .308 AR10 and set out to make one for it.

I liked @ThomasXIII threaded middle shown HERE So I made mine with the same threaded center.

Safety Plunger De-Bur and Polish

Glock pistols are mass produced using stamped parts. That is not a bad thing, just the way it is. Because of that, a part will sneak in with a less than desirable finish. I am of the belief that you should inspect all you parts for defects and burrs.

In this case, I found a bur on the safety plunger.

I filed down the burr with a small file, being careful not to remove to much material.

When it met my stringent standards I polished it up:

Dropped it back in, runs like a champ!

Compensator Install

A compensator is a muzzle device designed to reduce muzzle rise. A compensator will “compensate” for a firearm muzzle’s rise after you fire a shot, this directly affects follow-up shots because they help you recover your sight picture by shooting flatter.

There are many articles about what is best out there. We leave that up to you.

You want to make sure your compensator is timed correctly. Timing is simply insuring that the ports are properly positioned. With the proper tools and hardware provided with your device I can get you timed and aligned correctly.

Here are a couple Shots of what I do:

AR compensator Service 1 — AR compensator Service

AR compensator Service 2 — AR compensator Service

Glock Sight Install

We all know the factory Glock sights are notoriously poor, so let me replace them! I take a lot of care to make sure the sights on your pistol are installed and aligned correctly. I have a very nice sight pusher tool that drifts the sights on and off without the need of a punch or hammer. Using such a tool protects tritium vials from breaking, prevents marring of the slide, and the sights.

Here is a shot of a Glock 19 I did:

SpringCO Recoil Management System

I just picked up the Recoil Management System, Versatility Kit from the great folks at SpringCO for my Glock 19 Gen 5. I wanted to show what I did to get it installed. It was pretty straight forward and easy to do.

Here are the parts that came in the package.

SpringCO Glock Recoil Management System Whats Included

I am going to install the Green 13# spring. As this is a non-captured setup I will be trying the 15 and 17 pound springs in the near future and keeping the one I like best and works best for my situation.
