Ok, I have done something awkward with my Glock 19 (the one you just fixed).

I was replacing the slide on the pistol but it jammed solid and no matter how hard I work with it the cursed thing wont budge.

Any ideas or should I just just bring it to you and with great embarassment hand it over for inspection?

sounds like the recoil rod has been misaligned.

Sounds like another hivemind blunder!

knew i could feel my ears burning....

What cherubaul said, recoil rod is probably causing the jam, getting the slide back off is going to be a pain, but a bit of brute force will probably do it, just make sure not to use too much force incase something breaks

Ah the old brute force and ignorance approach thats the kind of technical advice I can really get behind

I hope I don't get banned for this;

Have you tried shouting at it?




If I do it was worth it.

I've even tried strong language.

Um .. brute force and ignorance (both of which I have in abundance) seems to be failing me. I'll bring it along to hrta at some point and show you what I mean.

The barrel and spring guide (I'm assuming that is the recoil rod) are actually pushed forward from the assembly, sticking out a good inch or so beyond their usual position.

hmmm... sounds like you've gotten it pretty well jammed, ill be at hrta this saturday anyway if you want me to have a look

cherubaul

try lifting the slide away from the frame as you pull it away from the frame. it might just take enough pressure off the jam to allow you to take the gun down.

and have you triewd silicon oil :P

get yourself a hammer and a piece of wood, then you can wack it free without causing any impact damage to the pistol, id advise going easy first and gradually hit harder instead of going "AGGhhhhhhh OPEN YA BAST***, bang,bang,bang,".,.lol.,
