ok guys...thoughts on how to fix this

[maxmayhem]

this guy in my subdivision bypassed the manual (and a thousand youtube videos) and put his gun together wrong. he skipped the front guide when putting on his slide. i cant tell from the photo what he did with the guide rod/spring. its pretty jacked up. post your ideas how to fix

Send it back to Glock or a gunsmith.

WOW! Never seen that before. Not quite sure how that can even happen with or with out the manual.

He might be better off calling glock and asking them what he should do.

From what it looks like you could try and sliding it back off or even try taking the slide off backwards. You might have to try wiggling it sideways slightly/gently. I'd try that first, other than that I don't know. I can look at my model 40 mos for you to see if I can get any more ideas on how to fix it.

Oh that's an easy fix....

Buy a 1911.

















That is very impressive. I've never seen a Glock Pop a Wheelie.

Will it budge at all? Full308 has a decent idea of trying to get the slide off from the back side. If not, maybe some gentle persuading taps from the back side with a rubber mallet will help nudge it forward enough to break it loose?

#1 for LIGHT taps with a rubber mallet from the rear.

Can you imagine him trying to put a 1911 together if this was the result of a glock? lol

I vote for tapping on it with a rubber mallet. I want to know how hard he "racked it" to assemble it that way tho...

Id pay to see that.

Hold the takedown levers down. Tap the back of the slide with a rubber mallet or plastic dead blow hammer.

Didn't someone tell him that Glocks never need to be cleaned or lubed? They are indestructible. Or so I hear.

Easy fix.. it's trash now, so I'll take it off his hands for scrap value. $20 for a paperweight sound fair?

 

[halfmileharry]

This is actually quite common. NHT3 can most likely tell you how to do it properly.
Elmores is familiar with this problem as well. Let Jason fix it. It won't take him but a couple of minutes.

​it’s a glock... shoot it.

 

[Dead Duck]

Anyone know if he tried a bowl of uncoiled rice?

Basically true. Stripping them and cleaning them is more of a vanity than necessity 99 percent of the time.

Remove the rear slide plate and relieve the spring pressure.

 

[halfmileharry]

IF the location is Ocala then you might want to find someone closer.

 

[Bennettjh]

That's something. I would put some oil on the contact points and try to take the slide forward. Disassemble and evaluate damage if any.

Well, you laid the tracks. All you have to do is back the train up
