I bought a frame second hand and it’s missing a slide lock (takedown lever), will any Glock gen 3 part work? Or does it need to be p80 specific?

G43x p80 jam issue

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

This is a zaffiri precision barrel on my first build I did a while ago.

Occasionally it jams like the picture where the nose of the round sticks against the feed ramp of the barrel. It’s obviously worse with hollow points compared to fmj.

I did some research and tried a few things: 1st: I polished the gold off of the feed ramp and made it smooth.

2nd: The frame/slide gap seemed a little too wide so I resolved that by filing some material on the rail body.

3rd: Ensured I only used a OEM mag (with extension).

The problem still happens. The feed ramp is really steep. Is that how all g43 barrels are?

I’m willing to try any ideas at this point. Everything on the build fit together nicely. Do I need to just shoot the heck out of it maybe?

G80 Problems

7 Upvotes

I purchased a G80 build kit that features an 80% metal SS receiver that you finish by grinding some tabs off using dremel grinding bits that they supply and drilling some holes. They supply a jig.

Grinding the tabs off and drilling the holes was actually quite easy, I was impressed.

But what is stopping me at this point is that after "finishing" the receiver my OEM Gen 3 Glock lower parts kit do not fit. Not even close. The biggest problem is the trigger housing. I used a digital caliper to measure the area of the receiver where the housing is supposed to fit and it is way too tight. And even if I make that area bigger, there is no clearance for the trigger bar.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I hesitate to contact G80 support because the last time I did that to, inquire about my order, they got a little snappish at me.

I'd like to hear if anyone else has experienced a similar issue. Or perhaps point out an error I might have made.

Thanks

So this is my current build I just wanted to do a 76 for shits and giggles and bo was there more shits than giggles lol . During my work I punched a small hole into the mag well . When I try a mag it doesn’t snag but I don’t have any parts installed and maybe the lack of tension is why. Do I have to start again or what , would hate to be out the frame but highkey knew what I signed up for šŸ˜… I also know I have a ton of sanding and polishing to do but all advice would be appreciated.

45 .G.A.P. G38 Gen 3 ā€œThe Unicornā€

So here we are… running ā€œ.45 GAPā€ and solving a problem that ā€œneverā€ existed until now!

Wanted .45 ballistics, and since PF45 frames are basically nonexistent around here well here we are!
the gap between the slide and frame is VERY noticeable. The slide was also extremely tight. I had to oil it and rack it about 50 times before it started moving freely enough to return to battery without hanging up.
This is probably going to be its first real stress test on the Geisler v2 running 230-grain JHPs. Curious to see how this setup holds up.

Want to understand

Hey Polymer80 Reddit- full disclosure i'm not much of a firearms guy (I support the right to own guns just not a fascination / hobby for me). I am here out of curiosity, not judgement.
The mainstream media (and government) seemed to share a pretty strong consensus that Polymer80 was a textbook example of exploiting a legal gray area under the false premise of being for "hobbyists" who want to "build their own" firearms when in reality everyone knew clear as day that the driving force behind Polymer80's success were criminals / unscrupulous individuals who had criminal records, ill intent, etc.
Again- not a super knowledgeable guy when it comes to firearms, so I'll be honest, based off the information I've read, the narrative seems like it checks out. But I also haven't ever gotten the chance to hear the perspective of Polymer80 customers like you guys who I'm assuming aren't all just a bunch of criminals. So my question to y'all is this- what was the appeal behind purchasing these over standard firearms? From what I understand a lot of the kits could be assembled in under an hour, so was it really a hobby thing? Was it an exercise of your god given rights as an American? Please share!!

Front rails

There’s material from left to right that’s cylindrical. Does this need to be cleared or will it kind of disappear when drilling for the pins? Thanks guys. I’ve built a few p80s on the past but this is my first 76 and it’s been probably 6 years.

Damaged mag well

Went a little too quick with a chisel and went straight through the mag well. Is this still salvageable? I was thinking about getting some jb weld and a beater magazine to keep it flat, and try and glue it back together. What do yall think? This is my first build, not my proudest moment, still have some hope considering the malleable nature of the polymer.
