bowenbuilt Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 They do, that's how I do all of mine. Most of the time someone writes "completed" under the line on the receipt. Also, it takes an extra day or so before it ships, otherwise it will ship same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knedrgr Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I would imagine the 9mm thread pitch would be great for 3-gun. I guess you can use it in Limited Minor as well, but why run Minor in Limited? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knedrgr Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Yeah, if you purchased the 35 barrel and asked for them to ream it you will be perfect. If Robin decides to make some of these to fit the 9mm and .40 to 9 conversion barrels he will sell a ton of them too. on another note, I tried blue Loctite to hold my shroud and set screw in place. After about 300 rounds it came loose. Mine is now done with #262 which is what I have used on comps in my pin guns for years. It will hold it but you better be quick getting the sight block in place. You only have a few minutes and that baby is locked. Hmmm, Currently running blue with mine. If I shoot this weekend's match, I'll keep an eye on it. Might have to switch to the #262 Loctite.

bowenbuilt Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I was sitting here looking at the wrong bottle of Loctite when I typed that earlier, I actually used 620. I use the 262 for rear sights. It will not come loose with 620 and you better be damn quick about getting on there straight because when it sets up it is there and it will take a torch to get it off. I am not planning on taking mine back off as you can clean everything with the barrel in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugerp89ipsc Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 When I spoke with Robin, he advised that the reason for the different thread pitches on the barrels was so that someone wouldn't put a comp or suppressor for a 9mm on a 40 barrel.

bowenbuilt Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Oh, OK, the Ralph Nader approach. I blame him for most of the stupidity in the world. It once was a time when all the really stupid people took care of themselves, then came Ralph. See what you did to us Ralph. Shame on you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowenbuilt Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I finally got some time today to put mine on paper for any fine tuning with the sights. I have run 400 round through it on the plate rack shooting 6 and 8 inch plates from various distance and noticed at 25 yards it was hitting the plates all to the right. I shot a very good group at 25 yards but it was 2" to the right as I suspected. Came in and tapped my sight over and shot another group, still 2" to the right. I checked the sight block for level and made sure the front sight cut was center and it was. Tapped the rear sight over more, another group, same thing...what the hell? I had not shot this gun prior to doing all the mods but I noticed that the stock rear sight was all the way left before I changed it. I studied everything and thought about it for a good while and decided to swap over to my 24 slide, guess what? 2" to the right. I pulled the pins and the locking block just fell out. I am on to something I think. I had purchased one of the machined LWD locking blocks back when they were on an introductory sale a few months back so I stuck one in, I had to force it into the frame. I put my rear sight back to center and fired a group, dead center, 1.8" group, center of the 2" blue square I was using as a target. Problem solved if you ever run into this change the locking block.

Interesting. I figured those might just be snake oil. I'll have to keep this in mind if I have issues. I currently have my glock 17 running a 100% with new springs, connectors and the replacement Gen 3 parts for the recoil system. Next I am going to start trying it out with the g34 barrel to make sure it still running and hopefully Robin will have some sight blocks for the 9mms for me to pick up soon.

The only difference is supposed to be how they are made. The OEM in this gun was a MIM part and the lug is crooked. The LWD looks like a well made part machined and not cast. Time will tell but at least it is straight. If it turns out to be junk I am out $12.00. Edited June 29, 2015 by bowenbuilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim/GA Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I just hope they read the comments box for the order! Did LW charge you 30 bucks to ream it? They sent me an email asking me about it, I had noted it in the comments as well, and I emailed back asking about it and said I would take it as is figuring I can pay that locally if I end up needing to have it reamed. Got an email today and it had shipped but was charged for the ream, I assume it was done but not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskinsler83 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I didn't notice anything but it used to be that as long as it was done before shipment they did not charge but I dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowenbuilt Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 They didn't charge me anything, I just purchased a G34 and a G35 threaded barrel from them and had both done with the "GT Hole" at no charge. Both shipped in 2 days after purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugerp89ipsc Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Hi Robin,Any word on some 9mm versions yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Taylor Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Not yet, but I did sit down and modify all the remaining 40-cal Sight Blocks to work with a Gen 4-to-Gen 3 recoil spring conversion. I'd set them up originally for the Gen. 3, not realizing that the Gen. 4's larger-diameter spring moves the recoil guide rod down slightly. Next version I'll be looking for ways to run a stock Gen. 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogtired Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) I have a G22 with a threaded barrel so I thought I would save myself a $100 on a new barrel so I ordered the cut down G35 version. I knew going into it that it was not the designed size so I took my chances. I installed it and thought I would post pictures. It has a larger gap than the G22/G35 threaded barrel combo but I knew it may not be perfect. I am waiting for the Loctite to cure so I will probably shoot it tomorrow and see what it is like. Pics so far... That gap is necessary for the slide to unlock. Just a hair longer than my G34. Edited July 18, 2015 by dogtired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowenbuilt Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Let us know what you think. The gap does not look bad at all but regardless of how it looks I like the longer sight radius and the front sight always in the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtired Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) The disclaimer really was meant to preface an off use of the shortened Block. I did not want viewers to think that was the standard "look". It measures about 1" longer radius. It looks good. If I like the sight tracker effect I will get one for the 9mm conversion. I just emailed Lone Wolf about shortening and threading a G24 conversion barrel to 9/16x24. I will see what they say.

I like it so far. The sight seems to track a little better. I can't compare it against a 24, since I'd never shot a 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
