Ray S. Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Hi. A couple of Glock-owning shooting buddies and I need some advice on enhancing a Glock, please. I hope it’s ok if I ask in more than one forum title. The first of December ‘03, I shipped my Glock 34 to Custom Glock Racing to have the following work done for shooting in IDPA (copied from the CGR site): Bo-Mar precision Adjustable Sights Buried in Slide CGR F-1 Trigger Fitted Bar-Sto Barrel Barrel Kote ISMI Recoil Spring THE Extended Tungsten Guiderod (Production Only) Par-Kote Finish (Choice of Colors) Beveled and Blended Magwell Mirror Polished Feedramp All Parts Precision Fit for Optimal Performance The guys want to have some of this work done by someone, but they don’t want to wait this long to get their guns back (and I’m thinking about going ahead and buying another one while I wait for CGR to finish with mine). It’s already been 31 weeks since I sent off my G34, and not wanting this long of a wait, the questions involve finding out which of the above “enhancements” take the longest to perform and which ones we might do without and still get improved performance from the gun without this long of a wait. In other words, they want to know which, and how many, of these items can be done on Glocks and still have them back in three or four months at the most. Or, which ones would be necessary to leave off in the interest of saving time. Any other suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated, though I’m rapidly getting out of the mood myself. Thanks very much for any help you can give us. Ray S. et al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidwiz Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Most custom gun shops only have 1 or 2 gunsmiths doing the work. It's not any one of the modifications that add to the wait, it is the culmination of all of them. Most, if not all, reputable shops will give you an estimate of how long the wait will be. Did CGR give you a time estimate? If you've been waiting 7 months, I'd give them a call and see when it is going to be done. If CGR says that it's going to be awhile, find another shop. There are plenty of shops that work on Glocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's only that you fell through a crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Glock Racing Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Since I dont know who you are I cant comment on this project. I would suggest actually calling me to discuss it instead of asking people who are not involved in the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidwiz Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Well excuse us for offering an opinion and trying to help someone out. 7 months is a heck of a long time to be installing a barrel, bo-mar and a trigger job. The waiting list at most shops for full-house from-the-ground-up guns is no more than 6 months. How long do you quote people when they sent you their gun for this type of work?

uscbigdawg Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I'm with Matt. See my response in the other Topic that this question was placed on: Gunsmith Delivery Time in General Gunsmithing Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Please call Matt. I am going to lock this thread since it appears that you have not given him the courtesy of a call and nobody here can tell you what Matt is doing besides Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
