Difficulty of upgrade?

[matt491]

Hey guys, I'm looking to upgrade an ABS slide on one of my glocks to a full metal one and I was just wondering how hard this would be. I'm gonna do it either way since it's pretty much the only upgrade I HAVEN'T done on any of my GBB's, but I'm just curious what I'm in for. I figured it wouldn't be that bad at all, but I'm bored so I figured I'd post and get your opinions, so throw 'em out there! Thanks!

The KSC G19 I recently sold, had a metal slide and outer barrel added to it with no issues. I purchased it from UNcompany, it was the slide with white trade marks.

You bought it from uncompany and it cleared customs? I was gonna order one from in the country cause I figured a metal slide for a glock would be grabbed by customs in a HEART beat!

Metal slides are ok read that in the FAQ section and that package was even inspected by customs. Now if you tried to import a metal frame, well than its a matter of praying customs does not inspect it.

Metal frame for a glock

I didn't think there were any. I just need the metal slide. The only full metal GBB I have, including frame and all, is my KJW Silver Beretta M9 which is purely a show piece.

Installing a metal slide on a glock is one of the easiest upgrades to do. As I recall it was like one or two machine screws and that's it. If you can't do it you may want to trade in your airsoft for a helmet.
