How do you switch to a metal slide?

Kingpin665 · September 25th, 2006, 17:05

I have a KSC Glock 18c and for the life of me I can't seem to figure out how to take the... guts out of the slide along with the fire select switch and put it in my metal upgrade. I realize there is probably more to it then I'd like to think but I'm going to have to figure out how to do this on my own sometime or another, and these things always have a learning curve and once you have an idea what your doing it seems so much easier then when you first started.

Anywhere I can go to try and find out how to take it apart, because the manual is as always in a language I couldn't possibly understand so its no help. Nor can I seem to find anything by googling it, any help would be greatly appreciated.

You may be in some luck. www.wgcshop.com just happens to have a visual guide on doing that slide. Click on Information and then scroll down to Technical Support.

Thank you for the heads up, btw... thanks for the quote

*edit* Just checked out the site and the diagram is the same as whats in the manual, the parts diagram is slightly helpful in knowing which parts all come apart but doesn't help me in finding out how to get the bulk of the part 250 area out of the slide to put back into another one.

Ya that's ^ what I was reffering to.

I'd come accross a differant thing then, curse my noobie ways :P Thanks guys.

*Edit* Well proving much harder then I thought after looking at the step by step instructions. I guess step 11/12 just won't work for me, that little pin just won't drop out no matter how hard I try. I push in the fire select switch every which way possible and the pin won't budge, I've tried prying it a little with a pin or w/e I have lying around thats small enough to try and wedge it out but it still doesn't move more then a half a MM or so. Any advice for that?

I used an exacto blade to work it out, then needlenose pliers to finish the job if I remember right
I dinged up the stock plastic slide slightly while taking it out
