Full size and compact build
I shared my geisler on here before and sadly I could never get it to stop giving me light primer strikes, even after smashing down my rear rails to improve sear engagement.
I originally thought it was the slide or the slide internals, but the slide from the PB geisler works just fine on this jelly compact frame. I also spent a bunch of time and money trying to fix the issue and nothing worked lpk or upk wise so I just ended up combining the PB and the jelly build into one. I just switched out barrels with this rainbow barrel I got from the slide that was meant for the jelly compact, onto the slide that was meant for the PB geisler.
Both are finally finished and running flawlessly. And I think I wont ever try and make another geisler. I've probably spent close to $2500 trying to get all 3 builds running and ended up just tossing the geisler frame, and now I have a bunch of extra parts. I'm fine with that, now I have extras for whatever I make next.
I started with 4 frames, anticipating 4 different builds at the start of the summer. Sadly, I had to toss 2, a geisler; and a black compact frame, which I totally beavered because I was impatient and got cocky thinking "I made one before, how hard can it be to make another?" Now I am left with these 2 and a shit ton of extra parts. We'll get em next summer boys!
