WEBVTT 00:00:00.001 --> 00:00:06.040 This Glock 29 came from an estate sale and it's gross. Who knows what we're gonna find? Rust? 00:00:06.580 --> 00:00:12.220 Grind? Maybe a little bit of regret? I don't know but we're gonna find out together. So let's get 00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:18.700 this Glock 29 on the bench, do a deep cleaning and find out what I got myself into. A lot of the tools 00:00:18.740 --> 00:00:23.100 I'll be using for this deep cleaning are coming from the field tool kit for Glock from my friends 00:00:23.140 --> 00:00:29.980 over at Fix-It Sticks. First thing I'm going to do is make sure this gun is unloaded and safe to be 00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:34.820 We'll need to field strip this Glock, and if you haven't worked on Glocks before, I'll 00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:35.900 walk you through the process. 00:00:36.760 --> 00:00:41.860 You'll grab the gun in an underhand method just like this, and then squeeze until the 00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:42.920 barrel unlocks. 00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:46.680 You'll then pull down on both sides of the slide lock. 00:00:47.540 --> 00:00:49.380 That'll let the slide settle forward. 00:00:49.980 --> 00:00:52.140 Then you'll squeeze the trigger and remove the slide. 00:00:59.100 --> 00:01:02.180 Now that we got the slide off, we're starting to see what I got myself into. 00:01:02.940 --> 00:01:06.700 This gun was obviously used heavy and put away really dirty. 00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:10.840 We're going to finish the field strip and see exactly how bad this pistol is. 00:01:11.960 --> 00:01:15.240 We're going to start by removing the recoil spring by pushing on the back. 00:01:16.340 --> 00:01:20.520 When it compresses the spring, we'll pull up a little bit and then remove the recoil 00:01:20.580 --> 00:01:21.220 spring assembly. 00:01:21.980 --> 00:01:25.960 Pushing on this spring gave a lot more tension than I was expecting and this is obviously 00:01:26.140 --> 00:01:27.100 not a Glock part. 00:01:27.780 --> 00:01:32.440 looks like it's a Wolf Springs Guide Rod Spring Set. We're going to continue by 00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.340 removing the barrel from the slide. I'm simply going to push in on the top and 00:01:36.420 --> 00:01:40.540 pull out through the bottom. Now that we have the slide field stripped, let's turn 00:01:40.600 --> 00:01:44.460 our attention to the barrel. It's obviously dirty on the outside and 00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.080 putting a bore scope in says that we really need to start cleaning this 00:01:48.160 --> 00:01:54.160 barrel. Fortunately this just looks like fouling and dirt and there is no rust. 00:01:55.120 --> 00:02:00.180 Even the chamber is really nasty on this barrel. We'll pull the barrel aside for 00:02:00.340 --> 00:02:04.280 cleaning. Since this is a non-captive spring I'm going to pull it apart and see 00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:08.619 if there's any rust or wear that I need to address. Looks like there's a little 00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:11.720 bit of surface rust on one of the springs. We'll clean it up and see how 00:02:11.820 --> 00:02:16.400 bad it really is. One of the things I like about Fix-It sticks is how modular 00:02:16.580 --> 00:02:20.839 the tools are. I'm going to play with this hook here, do the next steps, that way my 00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:21.920 hands are out of the way. 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.820 It's obvious that we need to do a deep cleaning on this gun just from looking 00:02:28.900 --> 00:02:32.400 at the barrel. So we're going to take the slide apart and we're going to start with 00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:37.060 the rear slide cap. We'll need to pull the spacer sleeve forward in order to 00:02:37.100 --> 00:02:41.160 get the rear cap off. Normally you'd use a punch for this but I'm going to use 00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:45.240 the hook to keep my hands out of the way of the camera. Push down on the spacer 00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.479 sleeve and then slide the cap out. Usually these caps come out a lot easier 00:02:49.480 --> 00:02:54.460 but this gun is so dirty that it's almost glued in place. Once you get the cap to start moving, 00:02:54.580 --> 00:03:00.020 you can pull your punch out. Then cover the rear of the slide with your hand and then push the cap 00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:05.940 out. Now slide the firing pin assembly out through the rear. 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.960 We'll now pull the extractor plunger assembly out through the rear. 00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:26.520 Since this gun is really dirty we're going to disassemble the firing pin that way we can make 00:03:26.540 --> 00:03:32.300 sure everything is clean and properly maintained. We're going to use the rear of the slide as our 00:03:32.540 --> 00:03:38.280 bench block and we're going to put the firing pin in backwards with the tail slightly off to the side. 00:03:38.880 --> 00:03:43.940 From here we're going to compress the spring. Then we're going to remove the plastic cap 00:03:44.040 --> 00:03:48.140 off the top of the spring. As you can see this cap is actually in two pieces. 00:03:53.500 --> 00:03:56.280 From here we're going to slowly release the spring tension. 00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:03.180 And then pull the spring off. The spring is in really good shape both inside and outside. 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.560 Now we can remove the firing pin from the back of the slide. 00:04:08.980 --> 00:04:11.800 and remove the spacer sleeve from the firing pin. 00:04:14.470 --> 00:04:18.720 The parts are a little dirty but not too extreme. Now let's work on our extractor 00:04:18.840 --> 00:04:22.960 depressor assembly. We're going to grab the plunger in the 00:04:23.080 --> 00:04:26.360 spring and twist the plunger counterclockwise while pulling out. 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:32.340 Now we'll pull out the spring-loaded bearing by doing essentially the same 00:04:32.320 --> 00:04:36.760 process. The parts are dirty but fortunately there's no rust. It looks 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.320 like there's a lot of dirt trapped in the extractor slot. We'll need to pull 00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:44.500 and clean to keep this gun running smoothly. To remove the extractor we'll 00:04:44.500 --> 00:04:48.440 need to push in on the firing pin safety. Usually we can just push in on the 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:52.300 safety and rotate the slide and the extractor will fall free. Unfortunately 00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:56.900 this gun is so dirty that it didn't do that. So I needed to push in on the 00:04:57.080 --> 00:04:59.340 safety and pull the extractor from the slide. 00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:06.540 As you can see there's a lot of dirt on the extractor and in the slot. Now we can 00:05:06.620 --> 00:05:10.180 remove the safety by pulling it from the bottom of the slide. Just like the 00:05:10.200 --> 00:05:14.320 extractor there's so much dirt that I needed to pull this manually from the 00:05:14.320 --> 00:05:18.780 slide. Usually they just drop free on their own. Twist counterclockwise to 00:05:18.780 --> 00:05:23.760 remove the safety from the spring. Upon inspection we just have some dirt and no 00:05:23.880 --> 00:05:28.000 rust. So since this gun has been mistreated so much I am gonna pull the 00:05:27.880 --> 00:05:32.360 channel liner. Usually you don't have to do this but fortunately Fix-It Stix has 00:05:32.460 --> 00:05:35.860 a channel liner tool. We're going to insert the channel liner tool into the 00:05:36.100 --> 00:05:40.660 back of the slide then push and twist so that way we can lock into the channel 00:05:40.740 --> 00:05:44.360 liner. Then we're going to pull hard to remove the channel liner. This channel 00:05:44.440 --> 00:05:48.840 liner is not reusable and will need to be discarded. Now since this gun has been 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:51.780 mistreated we're going to remove the sights to make sure there's no rust 00:05:51.840 --> 00:05:55.640 underneath them. These early third generation Glock's had a front sight 00:05:55.640 --> 00:06:00.460 that was wedged in place. We're simply going to use a punch and drive it out. There's a little 00:06:00.520 --> 00:06:06.940 bit of wear but fortunately no rust. Now just like the channel liner, this front sight gets pitched 00:06:07.140 --> 00:06:12.820 too. I'll simply use a sight pusher to remove the rear sight and inspect the dovetail. The previous 00:06:12.980 --> 00:06:18.560 owner did some filing on the rear sight. Not sure why but I can keep it and reuse it. Fortunately 00:06:18.740 --> 00:06:24.440 the dovetail looks really good with no rust on it at all. This thing is so dirty I could be scrubbing 00:06:24.440 --> 00:06:28.760 this for hours. So instead I'm going to cheat and I'm going to use my ultrasonic cleaner. 00:06:29.030 --> 00:06:33.860 I like to use a shot glass for soaking small parts. I'll scoop up some warm solution in my 00:06:34.020 --> 00:06:39.160 ultrasonic cleaner, put my parts in, and drop it right into the ultrasonic cleaner which will keep 00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:44.580 the small parts warm while the ultrasonic cleaner is doing its job on the larger parts. I'll then 00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:51.680 drop in my other parts and let the ultrasonic cleaner do its thing. Once I'm done I'll take 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:57.580 the parts out, dry them off and I'll do a final wiping, especially on this slide. The slide is 00:06:57.660 --> 00:07:02.380 still coming out dirty so I'll run it through the ultrasonic cleaner for another run. Meanwhile, 00:07:02.620 --> 00:07:06.600 I'll continue with the small parts and all the other parts while the slide is going through for 00:07:06.700 --> 00:07:11.100 another 30 minutes. All the parts are coming up really clean but we still need to work on this 00:07:11.180 --> 00:07:15.760 barrel a little bit later. Our second 30 minutes on the slide seems to have done the trick and it's 00:07:15.840 --> 00:07:20.700 coming up pretty clean. We'll clean up the slide and all the parts with some Aegis Gun Care to make 00:07:20.520 --> 00:07:25.480 sure that we got all the cleaning solution off of the parts and the slide because we don't want any 00:07:25.740 --> 00:07:30.000 problems later. We're then going to wipe down all the parts with some Aegis Gun Care lubricant 00:07:30.320 --> 00:07:34.920 to make sure they're preserved and ready for use. Our first step is install a brand new channel 00:07:35.100 --> 00:07:39.540 liner into the slide. We're going to use the channel liner install tool that came with our 00:07:39.740 --> 00:07:45.080 Fix-It Sticks kit. Simply put the channel liner onto the tool and we'll slide everything into 00:07:45.080 --> 00:07:51.660 the rear of the slide. Once everything's lined up, keep on pushing until the channel liner 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:55.960 completely disappears into the slide. Now we're going to gather all of our parts to put our 00:07:56.100 --> 00:08:00.160 firing pin back together. We're going to start with the sleeve and the firing pin. 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:06.940 They simply slide together. We're going to use the back of our slide as our bench block again. 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:12.680 Just make sure the tail of the firing pin is off to the side. Now we're going to gather our spring 00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:16.980 and install it onto our firing pin. It doesn't matter which side goes on first. 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:23.980 Now we're going to compress the spring and we'll install our slide caps with the small side going 00:08:24.280 --> 00:08:29.200 down into the spring. You want to make sure that the end of the spring does not end up into the 00:08:29.400 --> 00:08:35.940 joint of the two caps. Compress the spring and then install the two caps into the top of the spring. 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:41.000 As you can see you might fumble with this a little bit but eventually you'll get them into 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:45.560 the top of the spring and then release the pressure. You'll see that the ledge on the firing 00:08:45.880 --> 00:08:50.760 pin holds the spring caps in place. Once you're done installing the spring caps you can pull the 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:55.460 firing pin out of the back of the slide. Now we're going to put together our extractor plunger, 00:08:55.840 --> 00:09:00.020 spring and loaded bearing. It's not going to matter which side of the spring that we put 00:09:00.100 --> 00:09:05.540 the loaded bearing or the plunger onto. Simply push the plunger into place until it snaps. 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.840 the plunger has an end with a nub on it that's going to go inside the spring. 00:09:14.620 --> 00:09:17.880 Install it onto the spring and give it a slight clockwise twist. 00:09:20.180 --> 00:09:23.320 Now we're going to install our spring into our firing pin safety. 00:09:23.760 --> 00:09:26.880 The spring is going to install into this hole on the one side of the safety. 00:09:27.560 --> 00:09:30.320 It's not going to matter which side of the spring goes in first. 00:09:30.780 --> 00:09:34.080 You're going to install it and then give it a slight twist clockwise. 00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:36.820 Might take you a few times to get it right. 00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:40.940 and know it's right when you turn the assembly upside down and the spring stays in place. 00:09:42.780 --> 00:09:45.780 Now we're going to install a brand new front sight onto the slide. 00:09:46.380 --> 00:09:50.260 The white tail of the front sight is going to go into this hole in the front of the slide. 00:09:50.760 --> 00:09:54.900 Then we'll use our front sight tool and our fix-it sticks kit to install the screw. 00:09:55.820 --> 00:10:02.920 Pop the front sight into the slide, then flip the slide over, then install the screw until it's 00:10:02.760 --> 00:10:06.680 snug. Be careful not to over tighten or else you'll strip the front sight. 00:10:15.860 --> 00:10:21.220 Now we can install the rear sight into the dovetail. Slide the rear sight into the dovetail 00:10:24.180 --> 00:10:26.080 and finish installing using the sight pusher. 00:10:27.920 --> 00:10:31.720 Now it's time to put our upper parts into the slide. We're going to start on the underside 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:37.140 of the slide and install our safety. Install the safety spring first into the hole in the slide. 00:10:37.620 --> 00:10:42.420 Now we'll install the extractor. Push in on the safety and install the extractor. Release the 00:10:42.580 --> 00:10:47.600 safety and the extractor is now installed. We're going to install the extractor plunger into the 00:10:47.700 --> 00:10:52.900 small hole in the back of the slide. Install the metal tip into the hole and then push it 00:10:52.900 --> 00:10:58.120 into place. Plastic bearing should be sticking out just like this. Now grab your firing pin 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:00.820 and install it into the large hole in the back of the slide. 00:11:03.940 --> 00:11:06.380 Now we're ready to install the slide cap into the rear. 00:11:07.020 --> 00:11:10.100 The slide cap installs into these grooves on the back of the slide. 00:11:10.780 --> 00:11:14.000 Put the slide cap into the grooves and hold it in place with your thumb. 00:11:14.940 --> 00:11:21.740 Now use a punch and push in on the rear of the firing pin and slide up a little farther. 00:11:26.040 --> 00:11:31.480 Now use your punch and push in on the spring-loaded bearing and continue installing the slide cap. 00:11:36.020 --> 00:11:39.240 Now that we got everything else from the slide cleaned up, let's work on the barrel. 00:11:40.340 --> 00:11:44.900 The ultrasonic cleaner did a good job, but we still need to work on the inside of this barrel. 00:11:45.800 --> 00:11:48.560 I'm going to use the cleaning rod that came with my Fix-It 6 kit. 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:53.160 It goes together super easy and it does a great job of cleaning the inside of a barrel. 00:11:53.160 --> 00:11:57.280 This gun care does a great job of cleaning up the fouling inside the barrel as well as 00:11:57.500 --> 00:11:58.560 protecting it for the future. 00:11:58.980 --> 00:12:02.740 I'll use the Aegis lubricant to protect the inside of the barrel as well as lubricate 00:12:02.820 --> 00:12:03.340 the slide. 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:06.380 Now with this barrel all cleaned up, let's lubricate the slide. 00:12:06.520 --> 00:12:08.760 Let's lubricate the slide and get it put back together. 00:12:09.150 --> 00:12:12.720 We just need to drop down the rails and just wipe them clean to make sure there's not too 00:12:12.860 --> 00:12:13.240 much lube. 00:12:13.340 --> 00:12:17.000 Now we just insert the muzzle end of the barrel into the slide and then drop the backside 00:12:17.100 --> 00:12:17.620 into place. 00:12:20.160 --> 00:12:23.840 Now we'll put the open end of the Wolf recoil spring assembly into the front of the slide 00:12:24.460 --> 00:12:27.760 while the back side goes into this half moon cut into the barrel. 00:12:28.220 --> 00:12:31.660 Since I already lubricated the springs and the guide rods, it's just time to put the 00:12:31.660 --> 00:12:34.240 springs onto the guide rods and then put the guide rods together. 00:12:34.580 --> 00:12:37.900 Since the Wolf guide rod and spring isn't captive, it's a little weird to put it in 00:12:37.900 --> 00:12:39.980 at first, but you just push right past it. 00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:43.900 Now the spring is going to fight you a little bit here, but just push into it and then drop 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:47.460 the back side into the little half moon cut in the front of the lug. 00:12:48.140 --> 00:12:51.340 Now that we got this slide back together, it's time to work on that lower. 00:12:51.800 --> 00:12:56.400 This lower is pretty nasty, so we're definitely going to be using that ultrasonic cleaner. 00:12:56.820 --> 00:12:59.760 We've got a couple of pins in the front that we're going to need to take out, and we'll 00:12:59.760 --> 00:13:03.040 use the larger 3/32" punch to do this with. 00:13:03.300 --> 00:13:05.980 We're going to completely remove the top pin out of the frame. 00:13:10.780 --> 00:13:14.480 Now we're going to remove the bottom pin, but this one is just a little bit trickier, 00:13:14.700 --> 00:13:16.100 because it holds both the trigger 00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:17.780 and the slide stop in place. 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:20.700 First thing we're gonna do is pick up on the slide stop. 00:13:21.280 --> 00:13:22.920 Then we're gonna put our punch in place 00:13:23.620 --> 00:13:26.660 and then push our slide stop towards the trigger 00:13:27.020 --> 00:13:28.240 while punching out the pin. 00:13:32.340 --> 00:13:34.800 Now we just pull the slide stop out from the rear. 00:13:37.920 --> 00:13:39.720 Now we're gonna remove the locking block. 00:13:39.880 --> 00:13:41.780 Using your 3/32 inch punch, 00:13:42.140 --> 00:13:44.680 put it under the right-hand side of the locking block 00:13:44.680 --> 00:13:48.220 with the handle on the left hand side of the frame and then pry it up. 00:13:50.880 --> 00:13:55.320 Now this pistol was installed with a slider lock trigger on it so you can't pull it out 00:13:55.500 --> 00:13:56.620 without disassembling it. 00:13:56.780 --> 00:14:01.340 We'll need to use our 1/16th inch punch to drive out the top pin on the trigger. 00:14:04.540 --> 00:14:08.760 We can now use our 3/32nd inch punch to remove the final pin. 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.640 Now we can pull up on the ejector to remove the trigger assembly. 00:14:20.400 --> 00:14:23.740 After we've pulled the assembly out, we can then remove the trigger shoe. 00:14:25.330 --> 00:14:27.140 It's now time to disassemble the trigger. 00:14:27.800 --> 00:14:31.280 Going to grab the housing with one hand and the trigger bar with the other and you're 00:14:31.280 --> 00:14:35.420 going to rotate counterclockwise until the cruciform exits the slot. 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:37.280 Then you're going to rotate up. 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:45.080 We're now going to take the trigger bar off the spring. 00:14:45.660 --> 00:14:48.920 Spring's going to fight you a little bit, but just keep turning and you'll eventually 00:14:49.040 --> 00:14:49.960 get it out of the slot. 00:14:53.500 --> 00:14:55.160 Now it's time to remove the spring. 00:14:55.570 --> 00:15:00.680 I like to use a 3/32" punch and put it in the spring so that way it helps me rotate 00:15:00.760 --> 00:15:02.900 the spring over without creasing it. 00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:09.500 Now that the spring is to the rear, we can pull it from the trigger housing. 00:15:13.580 --> 00:15:19.720 Now we can remove our disconnector by using our 3/32" punch and pushing it from the opposite 00:15:24.970 --> 00:15:25.080 side. 00:15:31.130 --> 00:15:33.180 We can now turn our attention to the slide lock. 00:15:33.620 --> 00:15:38.040 Now on these older gen 3 frames, we have a tab for a spring. 00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:43.660 Using your 1/16 inch punch, compress the spring and then remove the slide lock. 00:15:46.100 --> 00:15:49.980 We're now going to use our 1/16 inch punch to pry the spring up from the rear. 00:15:54.100 --> 00:15:55.960 Now it's time to work on the mag release. 00:15:56.580 --> 00:16:00.240 There's a spring that we'll need to slide over to a notch in the mag release. 00:16:01.300 --> 00:16:06.540 your 3/32" punch, move the spring over to the notch and then pry it out. 00:16:13.580 --> 00:16:16.460 Now pull your mag release out through the right hand side of the frame. 00:16:19.420 --> 00:16:23.200 Using some needle nose pliers, we'll pull the spring straight up and out of the frame. 00:16:25.620 --> 00:16:29.339 Just like cleaning the upper, I'm going to put my small parts into a shot glass and everything 00:16:29.340 --> 00:16:32.960 else goes directly into the tank. After everything's clean we'll... 00:16:34.220 --> 00:16:37.500 After everything's done in the ultrasonic cleaner we'll dry it off. 00:16:46.290 --> 00:16:49.320 And I'll use some air to dry off the areas that I just can't reach. 00:16:54.880 --> 00:16:57.819 I'll use some Aegis Gun Care Cleaner to make sure there's no residue 00:16:57.820 --> 00:16:59.540 leftover from the ultrasonic cleaner. 00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:10.420 Then I'll give all my metal parts a good coating of Aegis Gun Care Lubricant. 00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:13.920 Now that we got the parts all cleaned and lubed, it's time to get this back 00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:16.579 together. Our first step in the reassembly process 00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:18.920 is to install the mag release into the frame. 00:17:19.540 --> 00:17:23.140 Simply slide the mag release into the frame from the right hand side. 00:17:23.420 --> 00:17:27.280 We can now install the spring into the slot just below the mag release. 00:17:27.740 --> 00:17:31.540 Using a pair of needle nose pliers, start the install of the spring. 00:17:34.520 --> 00:17:41.800 I'll then use the front sight tool to make sure that it's fully seated into that hole and ready for install into the mag release. 00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:55.640 Our next step is to move the top of the spring into this groove in the mag release. 00:17:55.740 --> 00:18:00.100 I'm now going to use the hook to install the spring into the slot in the mag release. 00:18:05.340 --> 00:18:08.700 Now it's time to start the reinstall process of the trigger. 00:18:09.450 --> 00:18:15.240 We'll need the trigger mechanism housing, the connector, the trigger spring, and the 00:18:15.300 --> 00:18:15.920 trigger bar. 00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:18.900 We'll install the leg of the connector into the housing. 00:18:21.180 --> 00:18:24.580 pushing to make sure that the connector is fully seated into the housing. 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:30.440 Now we'll need the trigger spring and it will connect into this hole in the back 00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:31.040 of the housing. 00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:45.620 We'll now connect the hole in the back of our trigger bar to the other side of 00:18:45.660 --> 00:18:46.100 the spring. 00:18:51.760 --> 00:18:54.560 We'll then rotate everything down into the housing. 00:18:56.980 --> 00:19:00.880 We'll then rotate the tab on the other side of the cruciform into the slot in the housing. 00:19:04.280 --> 00:19:08.100 We won't fully rotate it into place until after this next step. 00:19:08.280 --> 00:19:11.560 We'll then put a drop of Aegis Gun Care Lubricant onto the connector. 00:19:12.280 --> 00:19:16.160 Then rotate our trigger bar down onto the connector and then work the lubricant into 00:19:16.340 --> 00:19:16.660 place. 00:19:18.300 --> 00:19:20.240 Now we're going to install the housing into the frame. 00:19:20.570 --> 00:19:24.240 You may have to squeeze the trigger bar and connector to get it to fit into the frame. 00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:28.220 For this next step, we're going to need the slide lock spring and the slide lock. 00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:32.700 When we install the slide lock, we've got to make sure that the groove faces the rear 00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:33.220 of the gun. 00:19:33.580 --> 00:19:37.220 We're going to install the spring into this slot, just forward of the trigger. 00:19:38.020 --> 00:19:40.820 The tab of the spring will go into the slot in the frame. 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:47.800 Next we'll install the slide lock into the frame. 00:19:48.300 --> 00:19:51.340 Just make sure the groove is facing to the rear of the frame. 00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:56.400 We'll use our 3/32" punch to compress the spring and then install the slide lock. 00:19:59.500 --> 00:20:01.640 We'll install the locking block next. 00:20:02.260 --> 00:20:04.560 It'll go into this slot just above the trigger. 00:20:05.460 --> 00:20:09.860 slide the locking block until it bottoms out and the two holes in the side should align. 00:20:14.140 --> 00:20:18.760 Now we're going to install the slider lock trigger. Now this may seem like an exercise 00:20:18.860 --> 00:20:24.520 in futility but eventually you will get it into place. As we're sliding the trigger up 00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:28.040 into the frame we need to get the trigger bar to go into the slot in the trigger. 00:20:36.740 --> 00:20:42.640 We'll then partially install the trigger pin. We don't want the trigger pin all 00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:47.780 the way installed because we still have to install the slide stop. The idea here 00:20:47.860 --> 00:20:53.980 is to have it installed just enough that the trigger will rotate on it. We'll now 00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:59.420 Now align the hole in the trigger bar to the hole in the trigger and then use a 1/16 inch 00:20:59.580 --> 00:21:01.160 punch to hold everything together. 00:21:01.460 --> 00:21:04.560 We can now install the pin that holds the trigger onto the trigger bar. 00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:08.740 I'll now use the front sight tool to start the install of this pin. 00:21:12.860 --> 00:21:16.880 I'll then use the rear of my hex drive extension to finish installing the pin. 00:21:18.780 --> 00:21:21.860 We can now install the rear pin into the back of the frame. 00:21:22.820 --> 00:21:24.780 This is the only plastic pin in the gun. 00:21:26.100 --> 00:21:30.280 The pin is fully installed when it is even to both the left and right hand side of the 00:21:30.420 --> 00:21:30.640 grip. 00:21:33.260 --> 00:21:38.260 We're now going to install our locking block pin which is the smaller which goes into the 00:21:38.260 --> 00:21:39.620 hole above our trigger pin. 00:21:40.320 --> 00:21:43.380 Simply push it in until it is even on both the left and the right. 00:21:47.300 --> 00:21:49.460 Now we can install our slide stop. 00:21:49.840 --> 00:21:54.940 We will install on the left hand side and the end will go into this slot on the left 00:21:54.940 --> 00:21:55.960 hand side of the trigger. 00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.380 Simply slide it into the frame and then align the holes. 00:22:01.900 --> 00:22:06.060 Once the holes are aligned, continue pushing the trigger pin all the way through until 00:22:06.120 --> 00:22:07.240 it locks into place. 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:15.140 Now we can test the slider lock trigger to make sure it works correctly. 00:22:16.260 --> 00:22:20.160 Then place a drop of Aegis Gun Care Lubricant onto each one of the slide rails. 00:22:21.280 --> 00:22:25.300 A few triggers in the rear position, pull it forward and then install the slide. 00:22:29.100 --> 00:22:32.120 We'll rack the slide a few times to make sure the lubricant is spread out. 00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:36.580 With that frame being as dirty as it is, just imagine what the mags look like. 00:22:37.360 --> 00:22:41.160 Now on the surface these mags are looking a little rough too, so let's clean them and 00:22:41.260 --> 00:22:42.420 make sure they're ready to go. 00:22:42.740 --> 00:22:47.400 I used a mag plate removal tool from my Fix-It Sticks tool kit to pull off the base plate. 00:22:47.740 --> 00:22:50.960 Now you need to be careful to make sure that the spring inside doesn't shoot out of the 00:22:51.040 --> 00:22:51.380 mag. 00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:55.340 The mag is more dusty than it is dirty. 00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:59.340 We'll pull out the spring and check it and the follower for any damage. 00:23:00.080 --> 00:23:01.420 It looks surprisingly good. 00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:05.200 But the inside of the mag body definitely needs a wipe down. 00:23:05.860 --> 00:23:06.920 So does the floor plate. 00:23:07.300 --> 00:23:09.980 And the outside of the mag body could use some attention too. 00:23:10.700 --> 00:23:15.040 But hey, there's no rust on the spring and the follower is in great condition. 00:23:15.560 --> 00:23:19.400 There's no need to put these into the ultrasonic cleaner, so I'm just going to spray them down 00:23:19.520 --> 00:23:22.120 with some Aegis Gun Care Cleaner and wipe them out. 00:23:23.780 --> 00:23:28.320 I'll then wipe down my spring and the inside of my mag body with some Aegis lubricant. 00:23:28.860 --> 00:23:30.880 Make sure you don't over lubricate. 00:23:30.910 --> 00:23:35.280 We just want to make sure that the metal surfaces are preserved and rust free. 00:23:35.980 --> 00:23:38.680 Now with everything cleaned up, it's time to put the mag back together. 00:23:39.260 --> 00:23:41.660 We'll install the spring follower end first. 00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:47.760 We'll then place our magazine insert at the end of the spring with the button end facing 00:23:47.980 --> 00:23:48.180 out. 00:23:49.380 --> 00:23:51.960 And then install our floor plate onto the magazine. 00:23:53.100 --> 00:23:57.220 You'll get the plate on about halfway until you hit the lock and then you'll take a little 00:23:57.300 --> 00:23:59.520 bit of extra effort to push it all the way home. 00:24:00.100 --> 00:24:03.920 With an empty mag, we're going to put it in the gun and make sure that the slide locks 00:24:04.040 --> 00:24:04.400 back. 00:24:09.360 --> 00:24:12.140 Now that we've got this frame back together, it's time to take it to the range. 00:24:24.140 --> 00:24:26.000 That's how a clean Glock should run. 00:24:26.840 --> 00:24:28.660 Smooth, reliable, and ready. 00:24:29.140 --> 00:24:33.300 You just watched me take this Glock 29 from carbon cake to carry ready. 00:24:33.950 --> 00:24:38.380 Whether it's your EDC or your backcountry backup, maintenance matters. 00:24:38.940 --> 00:24:42.580 Because when it's go time, you don't get a second chance to wish you had cleaned it. 00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:43.540 Carry it dirty? 00:24:44.050 --> 00:24:47.280 You're not just trusting your training, you're trusting your luck. 00:24:47.760 --> 00:24:49.380 And that's a bad trade. 00:24:49.740 --> 00:24:55.040 If this helped you out, drop a comment down below and let me know what gun you want to 00:24:55.120 --> 00:24:56.680 see deep cleaned next.
