  • A necessity for any Glock Armorer, or shooters tool box. This is the perfect tool for installing the Channel Liner (GFPCL01). Device is calibrated so the channel liner is installed perfectly each time.

    Pro tip
    Before removing the old channel liner insert the channel liner installing tool in all the way, then mark the handle of the tool with a sharpe marker. When installing the new channel liner tap it down with your mallet until the mark is flush with the slide.
    I hope i am conveying this correctly

      You're right, Skidz! Clear enough. Was thinking the same thing when he had to keep checking the depth during re-installation.

    The channel liner was considered the "Loc Ness Monster" or "Big Foot" of the Glock pistol. Some people have heard of them but no one has seen one until today. Thanks for the video.

      But, unlike Big Foot, we now have photos of the channel liner that are in focus.

    Cool video, I never this existed! Just a suggestion from a viewer. A mark on the installation tool that shows when the liner is fully seated would be really helpful. It could be a small machined notch that lines up with the back of the slide to show when the liner is fully seated. Just a suggestion!

    I found out it existed after i refinished my slide with duracoat and baked it on in my over. when i went to reassemble i found a melted piece of plastic blocking my firing pin. now i have to buy one lol. we live and we learn.

    Thx! I was getting light strikes on my G23 so pulled my striker assy and tried cleaning the channel with a brush - lo and behold that sleeve came out. I simply put it back in but after watching your vid realize it's likely not fully seated. Thx a bunch!

  • @emiller6127
    @emiller6127 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    No need to hammer in the liner. I bought the GS tool and seated by hand, no problem. For liner removal, I use a 38cal. brass bore brush just barely gripping the inside of the liner - works fine and no damage to liner. I'm not convinced the GS install/removal tool is necessary.

    I’ve always used the brush to pull the liner, I just use a soft punch one the edge of the liner and push it in by hand. I just tap it with the palm of my hand! Never had any problems or had to change a liner.

  • @maryconley8976
    @maryconley8976 7 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    I though I'd pass this along...., I called Glock and they told me the 42's & 43's DO NOT have these liners in them. It looks like there's one in the slide, but what you're seeing is steel ---part of the slide itself. So don't ty to remove something that's not there! All other Glock models have them.

    • @jman5520
      @jman5520 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Kimber 10MM I'm having this exact problem, was so in a rush to put the slide together, and then wonder after forcing the liner was there a specific direction it should be facing. If you can get in contact and offer some advice that would be awesome. Also couldn't tell I'd the liner was sitting in the correct position in the slide, in the case that I happened to put the channel liner in the correct way.

  • @cobalt327

    Consider wrapping the lag bolt w/tape below the first 1/2" to avoid scratching the slide.

    • @aresident7745

  • @scottking5555

    We say interchangeable and cheap, but slide parts kits are going for between 75 and 115 usd from what i see... some springs and polymer, pieces easy to break... glocks are awesome the learning curve on the small parts is expensive

    • @kyezek524

  • @789295
    @789295 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It would be a lot smoother if you used an arbor press or something to smoothly push the liner in instead of pounding it with a hammer. I wonder if it would shrink just a little too if you make it cold first?

    Hey I really appreciate your time making and instructing a video. I have a concerning question about the firing pin but not so much about it. It’s actually the channel liner itself? Is it possible it can be to long of a liner, as we as too snug for the firing pin while inside of the channel liner. Would it be any problem?

    @jrodr5625 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    So I just got done putting in a channel liner on my brand new glock slide. When I took the tool out, a perfectly broken piece of the tip of the channel liner was still on it. I looked in the slide with a light and the rest of the liner is still perfectly seated with no debris or chewed up end where the piece broke off. Striker comes through just fine, every part went back into the slide without issue. Should I be OK?

      a 5/16" eye bolt from your local hardware store works best. Get one that's long enough to reach the sleeve, twist in in a turn or two and pull out the sleeve. Of course you can't reuse the old sleeve. This is the best tool for this bar none.
