KWA Glock question

Harbinger of Darkness · April 1st, 2006, 22:08

I just purchased a KWA Glock 19 off a friend of mine. It needs some work but is in fairly good shape. This is my first GBB and i was wondering how the bloddy hell i get the slide off. My friend showed me a while ago but i can't remember how and i can't get in touch with him about it. Please help!

First make sure that the mag is out, and the trigger is not ready to fire. Then pull down on the catch above the trigger, it should slide right off forward.

If it's anything like the 18 (which I think it is)

there are two sliders on either side of the lower frame. Eject the magazine (or it wont come off). Pull down both sliders with one hand and gently push off the slide from the rear. It should slide off.

putting it back on, is simple.. just slide it on to the rails and slide it back until it clicks.

With the KJ I had,

Take the mag out. (a MUST)

Pull the slide about 3mm back, hold it.

Push down on those little things infront of the trigger guard.

Slide it forward and it should come off.

EDIT - Damn you guys are fast, Cheers!

Thanks guys

drop the mag
pull down the 2 pins on the sides
rack the slide like you are chambering a bb
on it's way forward it will slide past its normal position and right off

edit: yeah... how long did it take for me to type that.. :\

JamesBond_007 · April 1st, 2006, 22:19

Not a problem.

Made the mistake in my post, (you guys said it though) but the hammer actually has to be cocked in order for the slide to move off the frame. Sorry about that bit of misinformation.

Harbinger of Darkness · April 1st, 2006, 22:19

It comes off about a half an inch then stops. I don't want to break it further than it already is lol

Goldman · April 1st, 2006, 22:25

did you rack the slide before attempting to remove it? IIRC Glocks must be cocked in order for the slide to be removed.

JamesBond_007 · April 1st, 2006, 22:26

Step by step from when the gun is completely together:
1) Pull back the slide as if you were loading a bb.
2) Drop out the mag
3) Pull down the tabs
4) Push slide forward

This should work and it should come apart.

mirage13 · April 1st, 2006, 22:29

Keep us updated on what happens after the slide comes off! lol

Edit: If*

Harbinger of Darkness · April 1st, 2006, 22:33

I keep trying and it keeps sticking, I know that the hammer is broken but that shouldn't be the problem.

Harbinger of Darkness · April 1st, 2006, 22:37

Gun won't cock either....... this is looking bad

mirage13 · April 1st, 2006, 22:48

Buying your friends broken KWA gbb probably wasn't the greatest idea for a "first gun"...

I'd gladly take it off your hands :grin:

Good luck :cheers:

I've fixed numerous Pellet guns and hand guns so I thought this wouldn't be to different, and it really isn't. I figured out the part that's broken is what's giving me the touble. I'll kep trying to fix it but if i can't then I shall have it repaired. -sigh-
