![]() It is actually a good thing that the problem occured as I decided to strip the Lone Wolf and my G17 slide down to figure out the problem. I offered to mail the problem part to OST but he declined my offer. When I talked to Tom after figuring out the problem he got the correct striker to me post haste. To say it is "almost unbelievable" that the firing pin was to long. It was not your fault you were having problems with Lone Wolf and yes you did bend over backwards to get my slide to me asap when you started recieving them again from Lone Wolf. I guess I called half a dozen times or more while waiting for the package to arrive. I called one day and arrainged to have my G22 milled and called the next day to order the #3 package. You asked how many calls I made before I ordered. ![]() I'm sure you are testing the slide packages before shipping them, NOW. My post was about the Quality Control of Lone Wolf. I'm sorry if you felt I was calling you a lair. ![]() The problem, dear Arlan is not some striker, it is a quality control issue from Lone WOlf that became evident in the last two shipments we received from them. If you are not happy with your top end, let me know and I will buy it back from you today for cash. As soon as I get back to HQ I will see if it is even possible to put a 45 striker in a 9mm. And if a striker was somehow too long, it would still function. That your slide had the "wrong firing pin" I find almost unbelieveable since there are strikers for 40s, and for 9mms, and then totally different strikers for the 45/10mm family. As soon as we started seeing issues with the Lone Wolf slides and barrels, I began testing everything from them and shipping back that which did not meet our specs. I don't think you will find any conflict at all, as we had not seen the problems with Lone WOlf at that time. But before you clang that drum any louder look at the date of my post when I made that statement, and the date of when your slide was shipped. Thank you so much for bringing that to light for all of us to know and realize. Now are you trying to go out of your way to call me a liar? Sounds like it to me.or am I being too sensitive. How many calls did we take from you before you ever ordered and then how many after you had ordered? To say that we bent over backwards for you several times over would be an understatement. I am just stating that my slide did not get tested.Īrlan, let me ask you. OST was great about getting the replacement to me though. I have no idea how the wrong striker was installed but it was. The striker (firing pin) was almost 1/4" to long. I'm sorry to say that was not the case with my TSD package. It can't be that difficult to make a slide can it? I have had bad luck with Caspian as well, which is why I moved to Lone Wolf. My opinion is just stick to the original. I was using all Glock OEM parts to complete the build. The slide looked warped and as I ran it on the frame would not move true like a Glock slide. The rails were not cut true.or something happened after cutting. I also compared that liner to a few extras I had just to make sure it wasn't a screwball one that was too long for some reason - it was the correct length.ģ). ![]() I looked inside with the bore light and you can see the channel liner flush with the back of the striker channel cavity. I tried lightly tapping the end of the striker assembly as it was sitting on the channel liner thinking maybe it was just sticking on the excess finish but to no avail. This means the channel liner doesn't sit flush which also means the striker assembly won't sit flush, nor move forward true. After wiping the excess off with a little oil and a paper towel I began to notice the next problem - the finish was now wiping right off the slide with my fingertips.Ģ - The hole for the striker assembly channel liner was machined 1/4" too shallow, and off center. If I had to guess it seems as if they took it out of the tank, let it air dry then put it in a plastic bag. Spots all over the slide were missed and are rusted. Well the slide and barrel came today and they are being immediately returned. I also requested the slide get a blue oxide flat black finish. I ordered a Slide and matching barrel from Lone Wolf. I was doing a Glock project and wanted to try Lone Wolf barrels and slides. This of course means extra work for them, but hey.mine was perfect as well. I don't doubt the one you got from OST was perfect because they went over it to make sure it was perfect.
