Rumours are true, they’re doing a G34 gen5 MOS!

Yeah, first time I did it, I panicked as I thought I’d really f*cked it. I couldn’t get the sear back in with my bare hands ? luckily I buy so much shadowfoam I had a pair of forceps to hand and managed to jiggle it in using them. No idea how you get it in barehanded.

Second half of the gen5 disassembly video

The new agency arms slides just landed on my doorstep today ?? pretty happy with the first one! shamless plug, but I’ve started recording some of the tech work I do, and as a result, I’m in the process of publishing a few tech videos on the gen5 MOS. Have a look and let me know if you lot think it’s helpful?

Yeah, the gen2 mags are backwards compatible. They seem to have better gas stored and gas output compared to the old mags. I find my older glocks run much better on the newer mags, so whilst they’re quite expensive, they seem worth it. They’re still heavy compared to the guarder, prowin and TTI mags.

Few bits of glock news: firstly it looks like TM have announced a new production date. Hopefully that means if you had a preorder with impulse, you’ll get yours! secondly, don’t have photos to hand, but guarder have teased on Facebook they’ll be doing a gen5 G34 and G45 based off the gen5 mos platform ?

most commonly, the UKARA number has a typo or the paper has fallen off the consignment. Both have happened to me. Never had a visit from police. normally you get a snotty letter saying you’re breaking the law unless you provide a defence, and at that point you get the opportunity to provide a defence. I wonder if the letter never got to you?

*stock clearance sale* *miffed that lots of stock is cleared out* They used to be really good for Gucci TM glock upgrades. I feel a bit bad as I haven’t bought from them in a while, but used to buy all my guns modify parts from them.

I played a full game day today. Including venting the mags and refilling them, I used one large can of Nuprol 2.0. So about £8-9 worth of gas. I can’t remember the last time I used more than 1 can.

Don’t forget, they’ll be listed at retail or higher as well ?

I went through a phase of buying boneyard TM Glocks off this forum, refurbishing them and selling them. i gave up after I bought one glock held together with super glue, and one that smelt like it had been soaked in toilet water. ? the state people leave their kit in boggles my mind.

as @Lozartsaid, it’s not illegal. But it’s a frustrating grey area that can land you in some trouble. Largest, most likely risk is that customs will confiscate it and you’ll lose it along with your money. I know a couple of lads who’ve been flagged (and visited) by police due to purchasing numerous items of RS furniture directly from US and Europe (Poland I think). Nothing came of it, but it’s always a shock when you get a knock at 6am from police and then asked to present at a police station for an interview. There’s nothing illegal about it, but if you’re buying dozens of AK hand guards in a country where no one can legally own an AK… It raises red flags. I’ve never met anyone who’s fallen foul of this, but there’s always a rumour floating around that if you buy one too many items from Brownells UK, you’ll get a knock on the door ?

penny farthing? ?

You’ve become a MAMIL ? Worse than a milsimmer or speedsofter!

IMO big Steve builds is one of the best around. I’d like to think I’m pretty good, but Steve has fixed a pistol that I wrote off as boneyard on more than one occasion.

You may have a faulty tracer. Or bad batteries? my TM full auto tracer is nearly 15 years old and going strong. It stays on as long as the power button is toggled on.

I invested in TTI lightweight mags. They’re about £30 a magazine but weight half that of a stock magazine. Means I can comfortably carry 8 mags for the same weight as 4 stock mags.

Made an order with them last Friday and it was despatched the same day. I imagine they’re just busy or maybe the bloke who answers the emails and phone is on holiday? ?

To be fair, if we’re sharing tips on how to bodge it ? I’d recommend fuel resistant gasket sealant. A liberal application around the inner edge of the magazine shell, then fit the base and insert the pins. Wipe off the excess and leave to cure (typically 24-48hrs). I’ve used this bodge on a few gas rifle mags with awkward o-ring sizes and it lasts a few months. With any of these bodges, they eventually fail.

That’s the end of your recoil rod. The notched bit locks into the recoil rod. The groove on the flat end is where it sits in the hop unit. Drop me a message if you need more help.

they’ll take very similar o-rings to the gen 1 mags - I’ve repaired all of mine using the nitrile o-rings off AliExpress. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EwqFA8M if it’s only the bases leaking, you want the 21 x 2.4mm o-rings. You can find them on AliExpress of a couple of quid for a pack of 10. They’re a b*stard to get back together as the repair o-rings are approximately 0.4mm thicker. However, so won’t leak again as the fit is so tight. alternatively you could try soaking the OEM orings in boiling water. I find this is an urban myth personally… but several people swear by it. It apparently expands the oring back to its original size.

someone from MOD has been browsing AliExpress for ideas…

£1700? Those are rookie numbers. Remember when RA-TECH were selling an M14 EBR GBBR for £3k? And it didn’t even work out of the box ?
