MAGA Why would the brass liner be a thing? What’s it supposed to do? I’ll answer the question though, it will not make you any better and is probably a complete waste of money.

B_RAD Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) Googling it says it’s to reduce friction and help primer ignition with lower weight striker springs. Edited January 7, 2020 by B_RAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_Tanner Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I Cerakoted one of 17's and honestly didn't know that the liner was in there...oops.. It melted in the oven and I just took it out. I shot it about 4000 rounds over the next year or so and didn't have any issues. I know that isn't your question, just a heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12glocks Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I would think adding reciprocating weight in the slide would be less than desirable for a game gun, causing it to nose dive more when going into battery. Everyone is taking weight out of slides these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge chunk of metal screwed to the slide, and he even used it before he put the light/weight on the gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see weight not in the slide. I think it is his 24, it has a weight hanging off the left side of the slide by the muzzle. Basically where everyone says that you don't want any weight. He has shot it that for a long time Edited to add: i just Googled it on my phone and found it down about 6 or so pics, tried to post it here, but don't know how. Maybe someone else can do it Edited January 8, 2020 by RJH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJH Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) @12glocks Idk if he still uses the gun like this, but i saw video of him in 16 with this setup Edited January 8, 2020 by RJH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxVet33 Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 I’m new to Glock’s. I mill and build all My weapons and l like a heavy weapon. I ain’t humping over there no more. Plus I don’t like any rubber or polymer in my weapons. Except recoil reduction parts. That’s just my preference. The sleeve doesn’t add that much weight all things considered. I appreciate all the remarks and will let you know how it works out. Pray for the troops, the generals and POTUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooster Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 IIRC Vogel mounted a light and filled it with lead, and it was for limited class. A tip that I got from Johnny Glock was to polish the inside of the channel liner with Flitz or green polishing rouge, or buy the one from Lonewolf as it’s already slick because they use a different plastic. Never heard of a brass liner. Seems like a solution in search of a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malarky112 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Brass would be more resistant to harsh chemicals, which is one of the reasons liners fail (for those of us who actually clean our glocks that far ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul49 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I have never changed a liner, but would the brass one go in and out more easily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lll Otto lll Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 The problem with a brass or bronze liner is that it would be a bear to remove. My personal choice would be a Teflon liner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlan357 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 If you pull out a Glock OEM channel liner, the inside is really rough, even brand new ones. I sent a slide out to BattleWerx for optic milling and when it came back the trigger felt amazing. I found out they remove the OEM liners when re-finishing and replace them with the white liners from Lone Wolf. https://www.lonewolfdist.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=634145 They cost the same but the insides are completely smooth. It only drops the weight by an once or so, but it removes a lot of the grittyness and stacking since the spring cups and striker spring are rubbing against slick plastic. They're all I use now.
