GTO 211 upgrades mega thread
the purpose of this thread is to get all of the best upgrades in 1 location.
This falls into 2 categories: 1) custom work like coatings, ports / slide cuts, trigger jobs and 2) aftermarket parts like magwells, guide rods, etc etc.
goals: increased reliability, softer / faster shooting, smoother slide and making it beautiful. with an end product that could compete with guns going for twice to 3x the price. Also to describe certain types of works for people wanting to do it themselves like trigger jobs.
my personal take on the gun is that it is great as is, when I dive into things I would like to refine:
-Trigger: it has that up and down play and a slight take up that equates to a 3 stage trigger
Sig Armorer - is highly recommend as someone who can do the job
-Slide: it can be even smoother, guide rod/spring and marvel disconnector cut
I am going to list some of the things I have seen that seem to be improvements.
- aftermarket parts -
•guide rod/recoil springs - Fdez Werx
•Magwell - Fdez Werx
•grips - Lok
•magazine base pads - Herrington Arms?
•Sight block - Fdez, others?
•optics plates ?
- custom work -
• trigger job to take out the up and down movement and the 3rd stage take up, some people have mentioned a set screw in the open area for one inside SIG ARMORER
• slide work - marvel disconnector cut to make it even smoother - MERCIER gun smith
• porting / slide windows/cuts - Trenton @ TDS gun works Wyoming is one I have seen with V8 ports cut into the slide serrations looks like an XC/Staccato cuts and user on youtube claims 20-25% reduction in recoil
• coating work - I would like to DLC my hammer, trigger shoe and magwell that are silver, vulcan??
