bulldog009 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I'm looking to start a Glock open build. I'm planning to use my G34 Gen 4 frame as the base and use a LWD slide, which is built to Gen 3 specs. My question is will this frame and slide combo work? Next, I've been looking at parts, both slide internals and externals such as a mount, etc. What generation of Glock do I order the parts for? Will it be gen 4 for frame related parts and gen 3 for slide related parts? Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee loo Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 The Gen 3 slide will work on a Gen 4 frame, the only problem will be a big gap between the slide and the frame dust cover/rail. Function will be fine. Decide if this is cosmetically fine with you, borrow a Gen 3 G17 or G34 from a friend to get an idea. Order Gen 4 parts for the frame and Gen 3 for the slide. There is some overlap, but easier to just specify when ordering if not familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I would build it off of a gen 3 G17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog009 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 I would build it off of a gen 3 G17. I would love to build a completely dedicated open rig, but I'm in college, so the funds are tight. It will be cheaper for me to just assemble a new top end for the G34 I already own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If $250 more breaks the bank maybe you should really rethinking shooting Open class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtired Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 If money is an issue the shoot the G34 in production and get good with it. Spend your money on travel and bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog009 Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Yeah, I've decided to put this project on hold. Considering getting a G35, a magwell, and some mag extensions and playing in Limited for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
