I bought a broken hfc glock 17 for 20 bucks on ebay a few weeks ago, and since its a clone of the tm 26 system, it wasnt much use until now. The frame and chassis are not compatible, but the hammer, sear, trigger bar, trigger, magazine catch, and hammer bearing are compatible.

I replaced the we hammer with the hfc hammer and bearing, kept the we spring, and put it back together. Turns out the hammer was sitting to high when cocked. You can visually see the hammer bearing is much lower, even though they are both 8mm.

I also sanded down the areas on the slide that are rounded for the outer barrel, to make the friction less.

This got rid of about 80% of all the friction that was there before. And without grease to.

I put the o rings on the spring guide so that the spring is a bit contracted. Without the o rings, the spring does not contract fully, so I assume this would add a bit of power to the spring, and more recoil. I originally did this because of the overwhelming amount of friction.

The guarder trigger bar is bent just a tad, not as bad as the we, but sometimes it still gets caught. How do you bend it back so the bbh does not get caught on it?

I took the trigger from the hfc and glued a piece of straw in the right are so that it is pushed back, like the gunsmodify trigger does. Once the glue dries Ill sand it down to the right area, so that the hammer can reset.

I got rid of the piece of plastic in the hop up. Turns out that when the nozzle isnt fully in the hop up chamber (slide isnt all the way forward), most of the air leaks and the hop up is noneffective. Now that there is much less friction, the slide fully comes forward. I will prorobly end up cutting a custom 6.03 modify barrel, doing an rhop, and using the bucking soley for air seal.

What bbh / piston head / nozzle setup do you recommend I get when mine breaks? I understand I need to replace all three at the same time since we is different.

Also, it says that the item is free on the website. Unfortunately my Chinese is very bad, as in I speak none.
