How long can you make the slide and the barrel of a glock before it becomes unfunctionable you think? I wish to make a comedically long plastic pew
Some of the glock chassis come with pretty long barrels. No idea on if they still function reliably though.
6" barrels are a nice even number. Why mess with perfection?
>>65127028Heard that, but I am trying to make the slide just as long, for no other reason than it's really dumb
>>65127039Purely because pulling up to the shooting spot inawoods with a 4ft long glock would be retarded
>>65127028I think I watched a video of someone shooting a Glock with no chassis but just the 16" barrel and it worked fine
>>65127052By retarded you mean cool, ri..ight?
Less your gonna miss the longer it is
>>651270166 probably if the only change is the slide. with more swapped out then it could be longer.if you compare a 34 slide with a 17 slide theres so much material removed to make that slide weigh the same as the 17 slide.theres a weight max. now maybe it could go higher with recoil springs but theres only so much mass 9mm can move.
>>6512701616" 10mm with a corresponding slide length has been done: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iWtWNeS5Q2c
>>65127028How does this work on the annoying legal side? Like, if you put a 16in barrel on it, it's a rifle right? Or is it one of those things where it's 'once a pistol always a pistol'?
>>65128632its like this there is no maximum barrel length for pistols. long barrel doesnt change shit for a pistols legal status.
>>65128632>>65128650Fact check me here, but this is where definition for rifle comes into play. Once it hits 16.5” and meets oal requirements it’s technically a rifle. The “gotcha” isn’t converting it to a rifle, but more so converting it a back to a pistol. Fortunately, that part is functionally impossible to enforce unless you have an unrestrained ATF agent in your closet.
>>65128710the atf knows what the gun was sold as and what it left the ffl as. thats it. if they arrest you and consfiscate your shit the question is is the gun in a legal config.you never officially changed the pistol into a rifle. however they see that your 16 barreled gun is a legal config they dont give a shit.meanwhile if it left the ffl as a rifle and they find it with a sub 16 barrel well you fucked up thats a sbr.same for well its a glock pistol with a normal barrel length of 4.25 but now youve got a buttstock on it thats a sbr.
>>65128741So basically what I just said.
>>65127028I don't understand the purpose of such a contraption
