greg Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 That should be nominated for the 'best how to of the year!' Well done for doing the work & producing something that should help others. Excellent. & you are right, no one thinks they sound like they do. I mean, take me: I think I sound like some '70's porn star but in reality, it's more like a spitting image puppet. Greg. PS, before some one else asks, why did you remove the barrel & blowback unit?

MODDAN Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 To be honest, that doesn't look good at all. Having the on/off switch and part of the Docter hanging out behind the slide like that isn't neat at all. The overall look of the gun is ruined by it since the real Trijicon Docter sight haven't got an on/off switch. It should look something more like this. Also, a real Docter Glock mount won't set you back a fortune. Although the real deal might not fit the Marui Glocks due to the oddly constructed slide, but then all you need to do is get a KSC Glock. On the bright side: A functional, cheap modification which will suit some. The only problem I foresee is getting hold of replacement rear sights when one gets tired of the night sights.

Horsem4n Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 i don't really trust a site that's force threaded into a plastic base not to fly off whilst firing. given that there's super glue, i still don't like the non permanence. its nice nonetheless though.

Tek-Spec Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 It works but surely it would have been better just buying the mount (i've seen an sv one for $25). Would save you butchering that docter sight Link to post Share on other sites

Although the real deal might not fit the Marui Glocks due to the oddly constructed slide, but then all you need to do is get a KSC Glock. so, all you have to do to mount this to a TM glock is buy a real sight mount, and then buy a KSC glock to mount it to. much cheapness indeed nice work, crimson Link to post Share on other sites
Firefly0 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I think its a nice option if someone wants a cheap option to mount a doctor style sight but there is one potencial problem which is the rear sight. The rear sight sight is made of plastic and i have heard some reports (happened to myself as well) that it will most likely crack around the screw thread. So i'm looking for updates regarding this. Personally i would get the Airsoft Surgeon mount for the TM G17 but thanks for the excellent guide and video Crimson. Link to post Share on other sites
Crimson Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Thanks guys ! i used this today I did not superglue mine on ok ! i fired 10 mags, it got shot and it fell of a truck ! Not even damaged ! the screws on their own held it on i was planing on thread locking it To the other guys ! this is a guide for TM glocks not ksc, mounts for real steal you linked is $65 thats already too much, point of this is simple and cheep ! Greg- to make it easier to what i was doing you can see it better Link to post Share on other sites
muffe66 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Nah, i would buy Trijicon night sights instead. good idea but not my cup of tea Link to post Share on other sites
Crimson Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 the guide isnt do this to your glock its this is how you would do it if you wanted to i have Trijicon night sights on all my ksc but you cant do that for TMs this is an alternative to the TM night sights without spending super duper loads of cash Link to post Share on other sites
Stealthbomber Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Having a rather heavy sight secured by a tiny plastic dovetail seems like it's going to end in tears sooner or later. More importantly, however, I genuinely couldn't watch that video all the way through because the music was so incredibly irritating. Either have a loud musical soundtrack and then superimpose the information as on-screen text or have quiet background music with narration over it. Having loud music fading in and out with a quiet narrative is incredibly bloody annoying because it means I have to keep turning the sound up and down. Link to post Share on other sites

I like that song so much i guess i did it for myself really ile have the next video run constantly low and throw the voice over it Link to post Share on other sites
L4byr1nth Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Why is no-one from Sweden interested unless it's either expensive or unnecessary? Systema PTW's much, I wonder? I think it's a great mod, and an awesome video (although you did spell 'Mount' wrong in one of the captions near the start - you spelt it 'Mouint' ). Ben. Link to post Share on other sites

Stealthbomber Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 FWIW (and I don't know if you mentioned this in the latter part of the video), it's possible you've stumbled across an additional benefit here. By drilling through the dovetail and then fitting screws into it you are, effectively, forcing the dovetail mount to bite against the slide more firmly and that can only be a good thing. Worst thing about fitting any kind of optic to a pistol is that unless you can find a suitable holster for it, it's only ever going to be a novelty or, at best, for use with a race gun IMO.

Rob15 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Worst thing about fitting any kind of optic to a pistol is that unless you can find a suitable holster for it, it's only ever going to be a novelty or, at best, for use with a race gun IMO. The other downside is increased slide weight and as a result, increased gas usage per shot, for such a small sight it should at least be a minimal increase in gas usage though.

Stealthbomber Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 i dont know what you mean by that statement ? all i know is i used my pistol all day and didnt have any problems You know how a rawlplug (or rawlbolt) works, right? As you tighten the screw into the middle of it the plug splits apart and grips more and more tightly into the wall, or whatever it's fitted into. I suspect something similar will be happening when you fit the sight into the modified dovetail mount. I think the 2 screws through the sight will be applying a bit of force to the dovetail mount and causing it to grip more tightly onto the slot in the slide. That should help the sight stay firmly in place better than it otherwise might. Link to post Share on other sites
Crimson Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 i just thought that the mount screw holds it on because its also the screw that holds the blowback unit on if that screw fails the whole gun stops working so i assume thats why TM re enforced the sights , i guess you could be right about the width of the filed down rear sight Uploading the new version now estimate is 3 hours more !

BrooklynBorn Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Or usethe cheap Boomarms combo. http://www.boomarms.com/sc/viewproductdeta...?ProductID=3442 It's the sight and mount. But this is a great method, but I'm too afraid to try it on my KSC Link to post Share on other sites

On the bright side: A functional, cheap modification which will suit some. The only problem I foresee is getting hold of replacement rear sights when one gets tired of the night sights. You may not like the look of that little switch but as you correctly identified, this is not a real doctor. It could be mounted more discreetly else where. This mod was done for practical airsoft reasons, not as a look-a-like. Cheap, replica Docters, without the switch are available. You have also correctly identified that this is an extremely cheap alternative to the real thing. Total expense here is around £20. A real doctor & mount is what???????? i don't really trust a site that's force threaded into a plastic base not to fly off whilst firing. Having a rather heavy sight secured by a tiny plastic dovetail seems like it's going to end in tears sooner or later. Although I threaded mine with a tap, I've run this rig for over a year, no probs. This particular sight weighs grams, adding less weight to the slide that say a metal slide. Mine gets a fair amount of use & shows no sign of 'flying off'. It's a real cheap way to RD a glock, if you fancy that sort of thing. Nah, i would buy Trijicon night sights instead. Although working in both light & dark conditions, this is not aimed as a 'night sight'. It's an RD, allowing a 'both eye' shooting style. Greg. Link to post Share on other sites
