AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHH
I JUST MADE A FRICKING $200 PAPERWEIGHT
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
HOW FRICKING HARD IS IT TO DRILL SOME GOD DAMN HOLES WHAT THE FRICK HAPPENED. FRICK. YOU. THE JIG DIDN'T EVEN FRICKING CLOSE ALL THE WAY. I'M LITERALLY SO FRICKING DONE.
I CAN'T EVEN FRICKING RETURN THIS SHIT BECAUSE IT'S A DIY KIT AND I DID THE DIY PART WRONG.
Thank god your Dad knew how to drill a better hole in your mother or you wouldn't exist
I thank god for such luck every day
idk I drilled the holes where the jig told me to and they don't fricking line up. It seems like the jig wouldn't even close properly unless I was holding it tight. Everything was going extremely smoothly with milling off the top bits and even the barrel wall, for fricks sake I thought the drilling would be the easiest part. There has to be SOME way to fix this? I've seen some people mention using JB weld to fill the holes and restarting the drilling process but I really don't know.
Bro, just seat the inner metal part all the way and drill it using the metal hole as a guide
You'll have the metal pushing up and the plastic pushing down to hold the pin in place, plastic hole below the pin doesn't matter
epoxy putty seems like it'd fix this easily
I use it to fix my boat, you can get a "steel" version that can be sanded and milled
Did you fricking cut the rails first, before drilling?
qrd?
grats btw
Dont trip out. Refill then redrill the hole. Look up how online
just use a larger pin.
Should've just bought a glock instead of "muh ghost gunz", homosexual.
I'm 20 and I live in the land of the free where you can't buy a pistol from an FFL under 21.
>I'm 20
Well that sucks. Imagine how easy it would have been if the problem had been one that'd go away on its own if you just sat around doing frick all for a few months.
But I need it nooowww!!!!
Shut the frick up and stop posting online you mongoloid.
It's legal to own a handgun under 21, you just can't buy one from a store. If OP is from Ohio like me
This, in Michigan it’s the same. My first handgun was a .22 Iver Johnson from my grandfather that he bought (and promptly gave to me, because he hated it) when I was 17. I still use that little b***h to kill squirrels (albeit not very accurately)
rude 🙁
I live in NC, we also have purchase permits.
Wait a year and do it legal, dingus
tape both ends of the jig together dummy
This is normal anon. Had the exact same thing happen to mine and I fixed it with a file. Look up videos of how to file down the metal bit so it sits deeper in the gun and the hole lines up. All I had was sandpaper but going SLOWLY and CAREFULLY with a file you can fix the issue too.
Videos are on Facebook or other sites, YouTube doesn’t allow gun construction vids. Google “marine gun builder p80” and watch his vids. The long one is required viewing.
You bought plastic for $200? That was the stupid test and you already failed it.
>You bought plastic for $200?
You should see how much a normal Glock costs!
A 100% off brand Glock frame is $50 at AIM. Or the most popular STLs are like 80 cents of PLA+, so if you frick it up you just shred it and print another.
>doesn't own guns himself
>gets offended and needs to validate his lack of gun ownership at the sight of someone else owning a gun
every time
Yeah only a nogunz would think $200 is a lot
>thinking $200 is a lot of money
poorgay
Just fricking stick some JB weld into the hole you mong, slather some plastic epoxy and sand to finish if it makes such a big difference you drama queen
call p80 they will tell you to destroy the lower and send pics then they will send you a new one
this is why ghost guns are dumb. i returned 2 of them before the 3rd kit fricking worked, and then i just sold it cause it was honestly trash
its just a fun meme more than anything it seems.
i built two but never had any issues with the assembly
Normally I would give you advice on fixing it. But based on how you posted, I don't want you to have a working firearm.
>THE JIG DIDN'T EVEN FRICKING CLOSE ALL THE WAY. I'M LITERALLY SO FRICKING DONE.
whos fault is that you dumbass ape?
OP, stop buying and building P80s, you're wasting the stock for people who actually know what they're doing.
Literally moronic. Legally adjudicated mentally deficient and confined to a care home.
as someone who has made several p80s just scuff up that rail piece and try and rough up the inside of your frame and expoy that piece in. you want the very top flush with that little plastic bit so you may have to sand the bottom surfaces of the metal rail piece. after you expoxy the rail in make sure to wipe up any excess so your spring housing fits good.
If the holes of your trigger housing line up, it's fine. Those rails are notorious for have bad holes.
You can try filing the rail to make it fit and chase whatever trigger/slide problems you might have from a shitty rail, or buy Rook Tactical rails whenever they are in stock.
Don't buy the wojtek rails, they are pure shit and you'll frick you frame up even more trying to make those fit. Also wojtek is a massive homosexual.
>Those rails are notorious for have bad holes.
It's not more likely that people drill poorly?
they frick up bending the sheetmetal all the damn time. even if the hole was drilled correctly the metal is twisted or bent wrong making the rail or hole in the wrong place.
how can you miss with a drill jig Black person? Ive built 6 P80 and 4 of them had rails that sat high in the gun on the left side, just like op.
That's why you check with the trigger housing holes.
MGB claims the amount of torque you get from a drill press can be enough to crack the polymer.
$200? I just got a p80 compact for $61. That was a quick sale, but they are still $100.
use a press next time homosexual or at least a dremel and go straight in on the jig
wtf dude
next time begin your diy kit with a few shots of alcohol
Black person you know how many retention springs and fricking stupid firing pin mechanisms I’ve lost doing that? Lmao don’t gunsmith when drunk. It’s why I keep a bag of random AR springs and shit in my safe. I still do it though cause lol
file the fricking rear rail down moron dont do anything else to the holes! P80 is known to have the rails do this, its always on the left side like yours is. File the rail down on the radius and itll sit lower in the frame. the jig is right, if you touched the hole you actually did ruin it
man if you need a pistol just buy an iver johnson and make due with .38 s&w short like the rest of the under21s
I knew a guy who built an "AR" out of a kit. The semi-auto doesn't work and he's too embarrassed to get it fixed.
Tell him some moron online said to try a pair of anti rotation pins and that he could shim sloppy holes with tiny curls cut from soda cans.
If I see him again, I may do so.
gg
in few years you will laugh at that amount of money
The rails are likely not to spec. P80 somehow fricks up all the rails they produce. You likely just need to grind and sand them. Just look at the polymer80 subreddit, there are some posts about it amongst the sea of Black folk and hispanics asking for help.
the few times I have checked that sub out I wonder to myself how many of these are going to actually be used to shoot at people. Would be kind of based if it werent Black folk
Why do the P80 kits tell end users to NOT use a drill press? I did it anyways and it worked perfectly, I wanna know who fricked it up so many times they had to iterate 19 times NOT to.
You might be compelled to drill all the way down through to the opposite side and fugg shit up
I would think that would be a bigger issue with a hand drill, a press has a depth stop, if you want one on a hand drill you need to put some tape on the bit.
kek that's exactly what I did, but made sure the jig was clamped and straight...worked like a dream. One shot, both holes, those jig holes jave like a millimeter gap with the bit in the hole, i just eyeballed it to even it all up and went slow and steady all the way through. A hand drill seemed like the worst idea imaginable...and yes, it was my first (and only) P80
if its not lined up properly you would just drill through the plastic jig when you push down. if you were holding the drill in your hand theres a chance it would self correct to the jig hole.
I did three frames thinking they were right, they work but the holes arent as beautiful as on an OEM glock. Every one after that was done on a drill press and they came out fricking perfect. Frick Polymer80 they make a good product but their advice is shit. I called CS when my first frame had OP's issue with the rear rail and the stupid Black person told me to elongate the hole in my frame. Luckily I thought that was stupid and looked it up and learned like half of the rails P80 sends are like that and need filed slightly to fit all the way down in the gun.
Look up mod glock grip DIY. Use that epoxy trick, fill the hole, start again...
Oh no!
Anyway
OP here and I'm surprised this thread is still up but I'm glad it is because I really need help here's an update.
I have redrilled all the holes with the jig COMPLETELY taped up on both ends tight, the rail still doesn't line up, but here's the moronic part, I can get the pin through the trigger housing on the right side, but it is still off center on the left side and I can't squeeze it through. I also can get the trigger pin through the trigger on the left side, but not through the left side (off center like the other pin). Like I said, redrilled as properly as possible. I can hit the rails with a dremel to get them to go down a bit more, but that doesn't help that THE PINS AREN'T FRICKING ALIGNED AND I'M PRETTY SURE THIS JIG JUST SUCKS DICK. Should I just frick this stupid thing's holes up with a dremel and then JB weld them tight? I'm fricking pissed.
Another issue that probably speaks for itself. I bent the slide lock. it seems to work for the slidelock fine but I can't imagine it's supposed to be bent up like that.
OK it turns out that wasn't the slide lock spring it just happened to be a different part that happened to look exactly the same as the slidelock spring but was just longer. I dropped the actual spring in there just fine. you may laugh at me.
Your kit may have included 2 different slide lock springs, its the only difference between g17 and g19 frame parts so they'll just add both and make it a kit for either.
You are clearly not meant to frick around with building guns. Stop.
ok I won't but how do I at least unfrick this and not waste $200
i cannot for the life of me figure out how youre wienering this up. i built two of these with a drill and file and zero experience
i literally taped the fricking jig down as tight as possible and just drilled into where the holes already were. It certainly opened the holes up some but not really in the right direction, the pins still won't go all the way through both sides with the components in. I am fairly fricking certain this jig is just defective. It doesn't help that most of the tutorial vids fricking suck,have shit camera angles, and don't even bring up common ways you can frick up. Also I NEVER drilled through both holes, I took the Carry Trainer tutorial to heart.
You're moronic simple as
I know it's frustrating anon, but it 100% isn't the jig. file out the pin holes in the trigger housing a bit in your favor, and think things through next time. Or think about changing hobbies. It's not easy for any aspiring hobbyist to take an L but if you don't learn from it, best to move on
I've cut through the hole a bit with a pocket knife and managed to get the pin through both holes and now I'm just sanding down the rail. Also yes the frick it is the jig you wiener gobbling homosexual, if P80 can't QC their fricking rails into spec then how is ut just impossible that their jig just fricking sucks as well? I want all of you moronic homosexuals to tie a plastic bag around your head and go to sleep for a really long time.
You're really driving home the point that you shouldn't have a firearm. You're not on some sort of ssri are you?
>shouldnt have a firearm
anyone who actually thinks this deserves to have their children murdered in front of them. everyone, even the most evil criminals, should have a firearm. so when they eventually get ventilated fricking with the wrong person their family cant use the "but they were unarmed!" excuse
The jig is injection molded, those molds are moronic expensive stupid Black person. Those rails are either done on a brake press by actual hispanics and Black folk or they are ran on a progressive press, they are inherently less precise than the jig because of how they are made you fricking moron. You didnt listen to me or anyone else about it being the rails so you just went ahead and fricked up your frame more, now youre sanding down the actual fricking rails because they sit too high (because you didnt sand the radius on the back of the rails to have it sit in line with the holes like I told you too) and when you take it to the range and it wont go 2 rounds without stovepiping youll be like all the gorilla Black folk claiming "P80's jam nigguh" frick yourself stupid homosexual. Buy another frame and actually use your brain to do it.
There's nothing wrong with the frame you stupid Black person the trigger housing literally wouldn't line up despite the jig being oh so fricking accurate and taped down completely with the drill going down as straightly as possible. Now the shit actually lines up and I'm sanding the rails down as everybody suggested and you're basedfacing over me doing the one fricking thing that has actually helped so far.
where are you sanding? the top of the rails or the curved part where it sits in the frame
The curved part. I'm following all of the advice I can get from the polymer 80 r*ddit.
OR you could have just waited the year, so you dont have to circumvent a law. From way up here in age youre like a smole babby, and 1 yr isnt shit. I could do a 15 yr bid standing on my head.
This thread got me in the mood so I drilled the 40c frame I had laying around, I got it because I already had a jig and everyone said the newer 40v1 frame was compatible with 40cs. Turns out not so much.
