  • In case anyone is still seeing this post / comment, the Franken-9 frame issue has been identified, fixed, and re-released. The file name is called “Unseenkiller and Corbat67 - Franken 9 - 1-2-2026 Fix.zip”, so when you download it, you need to ensure that’s what comes down. The post should also be renamed to “Unseenkiller and Corbat67 - Franken 9 (fixed)”

    I’ve given the fix to Moderator Gage and he should be updating the BLC release file shortly as well.

    Sorry again for any wasted filament or time, folks - this is my bad.







  • I had that same issue. I was working off the strength of a room full of beta testers saying they didn’t have any issue with the Glock 19 internal geometry so I left it.

    Now that I’m working through my pistol versions of the 19 I’m seeing the same issues. Whatever typo’s may or may not exist in the BOM / ReadMe (sorry!), I think if you’re not new to Glock, it’s not you - it’s the design needing a revision to be more inclusive to other parts.

    FWIW, I had the same issue with the 17, and just finished fixing it in the CAD. The 19 is next on my chopping block, and I’m about to throw all of his CAD out and replace it with my tested Block 19 CAD and then start micro-adjusting all the imperfections until I love it.

    So, in summary, my apologies if it’s not working for you - there must be some magic “stars aligned” situation going on with the 19 / Franken-9 CAD.

    Notes:

    • try taking out your front or rear rail pin (or maybe both), could be the holes needing to be drilled out
    • try removing your takedown spring, you can’t shoot it this way, but you can elevate the takedown with your fingers during install and confirm whether or not there was an issue with takedown pressure (this never happened to me before the Franken-9 assembly)
    • make sure it slides smoothly back and forth without a barrel installed, bad rails, bad friction, bad support junk left in the cavity can angle the rails and make everything bind up like wild (you probably already knew this)

    My “Hammer Fired Glock” handgun series (including 17 and 19) are just around the corner though, so if you’re not having luck, you’re not at a loss for long.
