jerson0208 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Is there any slide racker I can install in my STI GM that will not need rechrome or will not damage the chrome? I am new so be patient with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durtarg Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Yes I just had the Shooters Connection racker installed on my GM. I'll send you a couple pics after my match. http://www.shootersconnectionstore.com/Shooters-Connection-Sidewinder-Slide-Racker-XL-Unfinished-P1593.aspx Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerson0208 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 How did you install it on your GM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67camaro Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Mine wasn't rechromed after the racker installation and it looks fine. Just keep it greased/oiled in there and you wont have any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianATL Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 How did you install it on your GM? You are going to need a dovetail milled into the top of the slide. I really like the one from Brazos Custom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCringleberry Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I've used every racker that I could find and the Brazos Zig racker is the best. There are two models, one for each of the 0/90 degree mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbairborne Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I had Doug Jones install Shooters' Connection slide rackers on two GM's that I have. The slides have not been rechromed. He did a beautiful job of milling the dovetail, installing a ball detent in the slide and machining the racker to fit perfectly in the dovetail. Never had any issues with rust or corrosion in or around the milled dovetail. Of course, I do keep it lubed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcs Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Is there any slide racker I can install in my STI GM that will not need rechrome or will not damage the chrome? I am new so be patient with me. Had several sliderackers installed after the gun was hardchromed (GM or a trade). You now have exposed metal under the slide racker. Every time you clean the gun, clean the dovetail and you will be rust free. The cut could damage the chrome, but I have not seen one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
