I have a glock 19 gen 3 austria oem slide, combined with all oem lower parts and a set of aves rails, but the problem is that once I install all the parts, it’s super tight and stiff when installing the slide.
For example, when inserting the slide onto the rails, at first, it’s quite stiff, but not too tight, but once the slide reaches the trigger bar, it starts to get very tight and stops, then I have to apply some force to get it through, then, once it reaches the rear rail, i pretty much have to shove it back to get it on there.
Once the slide is installed, if I rack the slide back and let go, it goes forward, but doesn’t go all the way into battery. I have not oiled/lube the slide, but even without lube, this seems way too tight.
When watching the DD17.2 assembly video, Ivan had no problem getting an OEM slide on. Any advice?
Oil slide and come back. Could be the rails weren’t cut right. When swim first used their rails they didn’t seem like they fit. The rails were just a tiny bit out of spec. Swin forced slide on and a tiny sliver of aluminum came off and then it worked perfectly. Make sure it’s oiled though. Reread the read me. You got this.
