Viking Armory – Veteran Owned and living the Dream
I want to provide an update to the GlockSmith block . With this latest version I changed the way the Glock trigger housing is held down. I removed the printed square “bridge” and replaced it with a brass fitting and a thumb screw. This will allow better installation and usage of the trigger tool portion of the block. Will work with all Glock triggers.
Everything else on the block remains unchanged.

Here is a handy place to inventory and store your Glock parts
These trays are a great place to store and inventory your Glock parts. There are 2 high quality trays, 1 for you Slide (Upper) parts and one for the frame (Lower). Our Glock parts trays work for all Glocks. They stack when empty for convenient storage.
The Glock parts storage trays are great if you are working on multiple Glocks at the same time, lets you keep each Glocks parts together.
They stack for easy Storage!
This is what I do for deep cleaning my pistols. I don’t want to get into the endless debate over how and when you should clean, that’s up to you. I am only showing what I do.
This is a shot of my setup before initial take down.
I use my Harbor Freight ultra sonic cleaner with a 30:1 ratio of distilled water:Simple Green set on heat for 16 minutes. 8 minutes flip / adjust parts another 8 minutes. Small parts go into a jar or solution filled zip lock bag.
Then I blow everything off:
Then I drop the parts in my Bald Eagle ultra sonic cleaner with a 20:1 ratio of Distilled water:Ballistol set on 122 degrees for 20 minutes. 10 minutes flip / adjust parts another 10 minutes. I put the small parts in a jar with the same solution.
I blow and wipe everything off then lay the parts out back on the work bench.
Then I put it back together and function test. Ready for the range.

I designed the AK74 vise block because I did not see many out there. Plenty for the AK-47, not this smaller brother.
I know it fits my Riley Defense. I made the tolerances “loose” enough that it will fit other manufactures as well, but tight enough to hold your AK in place.
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 simple and effective holder to check the spacing from the AR15 gas key and the receiver extension. Use of the BCG to Buffer Space Gauge aka 2 Quarter Tool is documented on many popular blogs and YouTube channels.
I can not find an exact minimum spacing in the Army TM 9-1005-249-23&P Nov 2008. If someone finds it let me know and I will put it in the references.
I like to make things so I came up with this little gem.
It measures 2 quarters / 3.5mm thick and has a few stops to help hold it in place while you are cramming your Bolt Carrier Group back trying to get the gauge.
Stops to help hold it:
Opening to let the BCG slide in:

Check free length of action spring. RIFLE ONLY: The free length must be between 11 3/4 in. (29.85cm) minimum and 13 1/2 in. (34.29 cm) maximum. CARBINE ONLY: The free length must be between 10 1/16 in. (25.56 cm) minimum and 11 1/4 in. (28.58 cm) maximum. If measurements are notaccurate, replace. Do not attempt to adjust the length by stretching the action spring.
Your manufacture might be different, in making the jig I used the above.
If you have a 3D printer it is a cheap print. This is too long for a standard print bed, I used my Ender Extended 400×400 print surface for this one.

To help check the length of your buffer spring I created 2 versions of the AR15 Buffer Spring Measurement Jig; Rifle and Carbine length. The Center is minimum length and the other is maximum length. Your printer might be different so double check measurements after printing.
With Rifle Spring:

A tool to help hold your gas block while you are trying to drive the gas tube pin in or out. It is plastic, if you beat on too hard or too many times it will break. Not to fear! it is a cheap and relatively fast print.
As an extra bonus, I created a extension tube holder!

A quick jig to hold your Glock Trigger for maintenance and / or training. Kinda cool to pull the trigger and see how things work.
Also good if you are doing something like the 25¢ trigger job. See how everything is running before you drop it back in.
I include the white trigger pin file ‘Glock Trigger Jig Pin.stl’. I just use one of the extra pins that come with the back straps for the trigger housing pin. I print it with supports, round part on the bed.

The Glock Ring
This is NOT to check the diameter of your barrel or anything else! Just to check if there is a bulge in your barrel.
Glocks method of checking the barrel is to remove the slide and push it the barrel hole and make sure it does not have a bulge. I wanted something I could use on barrels that are not installed without having to remove a slide.
This example is for 9mm Barrels. I measured several 9mm barrels and slides for Glocks and came up with 0.580 inch for the inner diameter. Because printers vary check before you use.
Just slide it over your barrel and check for a bulge. PLA is softer than the barrel so there should be no marring.
