Who can machine Glock slides?

[hoddie]

I'm looking for a business that can machine a Glock slide down so I can mount an RMR or another MRD on it. Possibly add some forward and top serrations as well.

Post here if you know a place in Canada.

Thanks.

I have heard rumors that TacOrd can do it. I will be lookin into it soon for the same idea.

 

[transporteRR]

When you find out, please show us the results here.

any competent gunsmith should be able to do it. all you do is mill out an area then drill and tap some holes.

Machining a Glock slide isn't that simple. The Tenifer finish is say RC70 hardness. Ever milled a slot in a file?

Salt bath ferritic nitrocarburizing is also known as liquid ferritic nitrocarburizing or liquid nitrocarburizing[8] and is also known by the trademarked names Tufftride[2] and Tenifer.[9]

But as Rodregier pointed out it isn't easy so it's probably going to be expensive.

If you are just wanting a RMR mount, Trijicon makes one that just replaces the rear sight and uses the rear sight channel to secure it.

Last I spoke with him Casey @ Tac Ord does this. Believe he has done quite a few.

Its dead simple is you have a mill.

One of our Engineers does it in his garage...

Don't let the finish hardness scare you - the bit will clean right through it.

I'd recommend Cera-Koting the slide after.


The rear sight mounts for the MRD'ss are horrible.

But Shawn, you should have bought a M&P9 Core

Roger that Kev.

This is for someone's Glock that I did a bunch of work on.

I have a plan in place for the CORE already. The wife won't let me work on hers, so now I need one of my own. Lol

Casey at Tac ordinance can for sure do it, he did one for a buddy.

Black Box Customs in Calgary does first rate work and this is a normal job for them.

Seems like there is a lot of thread digging lately...

 

[SomebodyTookMyName]

Oooooooh boy, a thread resurrected from back in '13. Now this is getting up there in age.

Although it's neat to see that back in 2013, trying to find a smith to mill a slide for an optic wasn't easy, now it's only a google search away

I had mine done by BlackBox- they did a fantastic job!

Wow, I haven't seen a Hoddie or KevinB post in years, kind of makes me nostalgic for those posts where someone with a newbie tag would criticize an opinion put forward by someone who was posting from A'stan, or Baghdad.

 

[hoddie]

Wow back from the dead. Those were the good days.
I only post in the exchange now. ��

Good to hear you're still plugging away
