How to solve the problem of broken parts

Spawn-Inc · July 6th, 2010, 01:16

so a while back my KJW glock 32C broke. the firing pin broke and i went looking for parts.

so i was told $48 for the part... wow. more then i want to spend considering, for now, i don't ever plan to get into airsoft.

so i kept trying to think how i could solve said problem and then it hit me, dremel!

it's not 100% perfect, but my glock is firing again! though it seems almost a bit under powered now. like it's not hitting deep enough.

Crude and effective, I like it.

Impressive dremeling!

thanks guys!

we'll see how long it lasts, hoping longer then the stock one as the stock appears to be cast aluminum. i used a computer heatsink base to make this part which was extruded so hopefully it will last a good while. if not another hour of dremel'ing and filing will solve that

though i think my dremel is dying due to bad bearings

i've already done something similar, needed a specific plastic part that was proprietary, made a mold and poured epoxy in it. let it dry, and voilÃ*.

Nice job, never thought of that. Maybe make another one but make the end a tad bit longer, it'll press the valve in a bit farther letting more gas out....... aka. more power.

I did the same a while ago for an ARMY R17, it went working just fine!
