Hey forum.
Thought I’d post about my work in progress polymer 80 glock build.
It’s finished enough to hold the slide, but the slide has no internals just yet. I’m buying parts as I go so it was the lower kit first (on sale from MidwayUSA for $50), then the LPK (also MidwayUSA. $50). The next part was the Swenson slide that I have since grown to enjoy. For me I like the boxyness of the Glock and the Swenson slide has the beveled edges on the front. Not a big deal and the price was what made me get it. $150 On sale again at MidwayUSA. Since Christmas is coming the parts buying has come to a lull, except my last purchase was something I wasn’t sure about.
Aluma-Hyde II Coyote by Brownells.
As a test I sprayed my 21rd Pmag. My wife doesn’t like the feeling in her 19 so it’s my dedicated mag for the build.
Edit: I didn’t intend to spray the full mag, was only going for 2/3 and mis-sprayed.
After hanging for about 30 min
I prepped the mag just by dousing it in Brakleen, waited till it dried then sprayed my preshaken (5-10 min) Aluma-Hyde at it.
