I cant pull back the slide all the way. The thing is completely built… trigger pin, charging handle, etc. However, I cant pull the slide all the way back… The slide fits onto both front/rear rails. I just cant pull the slide beyond that. I can take the slide down using the takedown button. So… what am I missing here ?

Ive built numerous glock frames… so not a newbie…

Thoughts ?

    Wild guess (best I can offer with limited info) is slide hanging up on the ejector. Easy to test – remove the ejector and see if the problem persists.

      yeah… ive even tried a non-modified slide from another build. same issue… so something is getting caught up… looks like the guide rod asembly… or maybe the locking block… ill figure it out by process of elimination.

      i do wonder how popular this build will be… the firing pin modification instructions are a bit confusing. not as clear… i should probably start an odysee page noting some of my observations and ‘discoveries’ with the builds i complete.

        I suspect a lot of folks are in “wait and see” mode. Needs a couple of successful builds posted to get momentum. I finished the slide assembly today. I just followed the picture in the docs and it seemed pretty straightforward. I’ll probably print the lower tomorrow, but won’t receive FCG parts until next week.
