Marcus84 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I had to replace the channel liner in my gen 5 34 and now the channel liner fits loose. It comes out when you pull the striker out. It also moves when the striker moves which causes the trigger to be a little heavier and causes the slide to move slightly when the trigger is pulled. I’ve tried replacing the liner a couple times now but it is still loose fitting. Does anyone know a way to secure the channel liner?

AHI Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Glock or some other brand of liner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus84 Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 Actually I’m not sure, I thought glock. I ordered it off glockstore.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 that may be your issue .Otherwise a drop of locktite may help. I use Glock liners and not had any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus84 Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 Thanks I’ll try ordering from a different supplier. I guess it is possible glockstore has their own liner’s that are not glock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertwil18 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 There is a tool to secure it correctly in the channel. It needs to be tapped in securely, and they are brittle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus84 Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 I used the channel liner tool and tapped it with a small hammer, it unfortunately did not secure it. Tried with a couple liners. I’m going to try a different brand liner I think and see if that makes any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RePete Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I wouldn't use any LockTite because you may wish to refinish the slide or replace the liner again. Just get a true Glock unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus84 Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 Thanks for the input guys, I made sure these new ones are glock oem . Hopefully that solves the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konkapot Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Why did you have to replace the liner? Not busting your chops, genuinely curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapribek Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I’ve read that removing the liner, polishing the inside of a new liner and installing it will improve the trigger pull. I’ve done it to my 4 Glocks and noticed a very subtle improvement in feel. I think the average shooter might not care about the difference.
