Finally starting the Fauxland Special

[Edwardteach72]

Well bonus came in (well it will on friday) so I decided it' time to start ordering parts for my Fauxland (Roland) special.

Legit Roland Special done by Atei: $2,300 with customer supplied Glock

• Custom Pro Cut Slide Milling for Trijicon RMR
• Half Top Front Serrations
• Enhanced Rear with added Front Side Serrations
• Slide Refinishing in Black Nitride
• Trijicon RM06 RMR (3.25 MOA Red dot, Adjustable)
• Ameriglo Suppressor Height Sights Black
• KKM Precision Match Barrel with Comp
• Overwatch TAC trigger
• Factory Minus Connector
• TangoDown Vickers Slide Release & Magazine Release
• Glock Stipple Package (360 Stipple, Trigger Guard Undercut & Front Index points)
• Finger Groove Removal Upon Request (Default is Finger Grooves Remaining)
• Raven Freya Magwell
• Sure Fire Light X300 Ultra

Now for me I am doing a Fauxland because I will be deviating from the actual build plan. Cost ???

To start I will be working with a Gen 4 G19, which today I will be calling Glock again to talk about being able to send in my frame to be replaced (they do this for $100+tax, need to call and see if there is any way to keep my original serial #)
I will be sending the slide out to Jagerwerks for milling and be using an RM07 (6.5moa) instead of the RM06 (3.25moa) only difference is dot size. And will also use the Ameriglo Suppressor Height Sights.

I think I'll be leaving out the top and front serrations and oem rear mostly because with the RMR I don't see the need for the extra serrations, but may add front ones later for aesthetics or whatever.

As for barrel and compensator this will be one of the last things I do (very last or second to last) and have not decided on what of either. So not a big deal.

I currently have an AGENCY Arms Trigger that I swap between my G17 and G19 with factory (-) connector this will be in place of the Overwatch TAC trigger (but I may explore the TAC later on in the future)


Will be adding both TangoDown Vickers Slide Release & Magazine Release

As for the stippling I have been looking around on who to go with and use, i will also have the finger grooves removed like they should, double undercuts on the trigger guard and what not. (Like the comp and barrel this will be one of the last things ie 2nd to last or last)


I have just now ordered a VTAC/SAI magwel, this will be used instead of Raven Freya Magwell. It is the only one I have seen state that it will work with restricted 10 round mags (but only with factory base plate and not the matching VTAC baseplate). Not only that but it appears to have one of the larger funnels but very minimal on the outside for concealability, and has side cut outs that will be useful if I ever need to strip a stuck mag during malfunctions (one thing that many/most other magwells do not seem to have)


And then finally will be adding a Surefire X300 ultra to top it all off.

Will be updating with pictures and how each little change does over the course of the build.

I still highly recommend the guy that did my stippling (MLS Customs). The best way to see his work is Instagram. For the trigger I don't have experience with a lot of after market one, but I do have a TAC with their minus connector and can't recommend it enough. As far as slide milling I am now lusting after SLIDEWORK . Good luck and keep us posted! I'm itching for another project but can't do it at the moment, so hopefully this thread will scratch that itch.

So I am checking out your dudes work for the stipping. And I'm digging what I see in the slidework link,

Currently going to try and do the least expensive with the biggest return and the fastest turn around time.

So stippling and slide work (other than the RMR cut) are sadly lower on my list for right now

 

[Edwardteach72]

Also looking at 5b gunworks for stippling

 

[Edwardteach72]

Well I'm digging the slidework link price on RMR cut...... hmmm says price includes single cerekote color

 

[MilesTeg]

I have to admit I haven't look at ,much other stippling after I found Wayne. I like his style and his professionalism and doubt I will ever go anywhere else. If you want a cheap good slide cut you can go through the guy that did mine, but he's not fast. PRICING - JLMachining Works for the first guy I linked in they had a sale on precut slides I'm still mad I missed ($200 crazy low).

His work does look Good, but I also see the 5b has a 15% discount for actige duty military and honorable discharge which is hard to beat. Just can't decide if I like basket weave or starburst more.

As for the slide work I'll have to check that one link out more for the future aesthetic slide work I'll have done.

I think the salient points of this build are the red dot and compensator. I don't see how its at all necessary to match the actual brands used. Looking forwardbto the pics when its done.

I guess "Roland" also believes the uboat plays a big part in the whole thing as well (extra weight up front keeps gun flat)

 

[MilesTeg]

I haven't been bit by the compensator bug yet thankfully! I'm still on the fence for the next project to start from a donor gun or piece it together.

Yeah the comp will be the very last bit because it's uber perm.

 

[Edwardteach72]

I think the next steps are going to be

Rmr milling,

Stippling

Surefire and holster,

Maybe new slide work

Barrel and comp

 

[Edwardteach72]

Granted I now have to decide since it looks like the rmr milling and buis will be about the same as the stippling so they can always switch what comes first.

I do have some nice Vickers elite battle sights to replace the stock ones

The other day on Gunbroker they had a complete MOS G19 glide for $379 shipped. I know that is more than the milling and refinishing but you could sell your slide and likely come out ahead. Or, spend a few more bucks and get one of the fancy milled slides that is also cut for the RMR.

If glock doesnt play ball with you on the frame I have a buddy that has a new gen 4 frame that he was looking to dump. You might be able to get it for about the same price about as the exchange, plus you will have the your original to sell or keep.

If your a little handy you might be able to do the stipple job yourself. I friend did one, removed the finger grooves and did an undercut came out awesome. You can practice on one of the extra back straps to get the technique and see if you want to do the frame.

With a fancy gun like that you won't have any excuses for missing your targets.

So for the MOS slides I'm not a fan, since I know I'm going with an RMR and have the RMR no need to be able to put every style dot on, they are an ok option for gammer guns and hunting and range fun. But for super cereal edc I've heard they don' hold up like doing it the correct way and milling..... conversely I hear the m&p core is awesome and the fn is as well.

Now on to the good good. How much is your buddy looking to get for the frame?

And I've done my own stippling and meh don' feel like spenind the time on this one for it

 

[Edwardteach72]

I miss on purpose

 

[Edwardteach72]

Oh and i will also be looking into picking up about 3-5 standard 15 round G19 magazines and 15-10 blocks, this way I'll be able to use the VTAC baseplates with the magwell (they say the magwell OR base plates will work with 10 round mags but not both at the same time)

 

[71velle]

Just checked and he sold the frame today. He was the guy selling the BFG 19, he was fire sailing to get some cash up for a 19x. Sorry, we are a day late ... Any word on Glock?

Oh well it is what it is thanks for the heads up.

And I talked to glock a few weeks ago and they replace frames for $100+tax just have to send in the old frame and they send back a new one, they suggest sending in the slide and mags As well for function testing, the guys said it takes about 2 weeks

 

[71velle]

My neighbor sent his glock in and they went through it and put a bunch of new parts in it. He was impressed with the service since it was just a check up nothing broken. As long as you have to ship the frame and deal with that, you might as well sent it all in. My neighbor said he thinks they replaced his mags but wasnt sure. Im anxious to see if you will have to get a new serial number, I guy I know had a frame break and he had to go through an ffl. But hay a new frame is $200-$250.

So the dude at glock (mind you when I called, i never got an automated system, it rang twice and a person actually answered) said that they would be doing a whole new serial number, which for me isn' a huge issue since my county isn' horrible i can go in and have them take the current one off and add the new one all in the same day no issue.

But @Bullet Guy mentioned they can do it so i keep the same number, and I'm going to try and do it that way just because why not try

 

[71velle]

It would avoid some screwing around. To the ffl to the clerk back to the ffl and pay the transfer and amendment. Not the end of the world tho. Get it going so the build can start!!!

 

[Edwardteach72]

Just got off the phone with glock, they said. No go on keeping the same number, now off to my FFL to see if we can work out a deal to ship it before having to try and deal with FedEx or UPS

 

[71velle]

Excellent!!!! you should be able to ship direct and receive the same way with signature. I dont think you ffl will need to charge for a transfer.

So FFL said (and i completely understand) they wont ship it for me but will receive it, so now just got to save up a few extra bucks (im honestly in no hurry for this build, carrying a G17 right now) to ship it off to glock since it seems like the overnight or next day shipping from either FedEx or UPS is going to be damn near $100 as well

You are a monster. Why would anyone ruin a stock Glock, which is perfection out of the box?

Because he is trying to make it into a Sig X-Carry. You know slide cuts, optic cut, front serrations..
