Could I fix this?

[DanielL12367477]

I need help is there any chance i could fix this?

First... thanks for letting me know that video uploads got enabled for members. I was experimenting with some settings. I didn't mean to enable video uploads for members... yet. It can take up a lot of bandwidth, requiring me to pay a lot more for storage and bandwidth. So, you got to sneak that one in! Ha!

That being out of the way.... What is it that you want or need to fix? What are you trying to show us there?

I do see some rather rough finishing of the channel and tabs. But, is there a functional problem? Is it not functioning properly?

Also... welcome to the forum and thanks for jumping into the fray! When you get a chance, tell us about yourself in the Introduce Yourself! section.

Haha I thought video uploads were meant to be there but thanks for the heads up for the future for posting but I posted the same thing on Reddit and people are saying I messed it up by accidentally cutting off the support tabs and going to deep in the channel and I just want to make sure I didn’t mess it up

Also that people are saying since I took it off the frame could snap when firing and that I went to deep on the sides of the channel but I just need reassurance thank you

No worries. I already fixed it in the "admin panel." But, I'm not going to delete yours, of course.

That's a 940SC (sub-compact G26 / G27) frame, right? I haven't built one, yet. But, I know you're supposed to finish the channel block all the way to the bottom - or even with - the front dust cover. As for the vertical supports / struts... I didn't catch that watching the video (not paying enough attention!)... I honestly don't know how "essential" they are to function. But, someone here will know.

Hmmm.... I went back to watch the video again. Honestly, it's hard for me to tell what's going on, because you're spinning the frame around (moving it).

In this case, I think some still photos (well-lit and well-focused) would help more.

I had to grab my 940SC frame to get some perspective of what was there.

You removed the pillars indicated by the red arrows.

So, I think the concern is that the Front Locking Block / Rails module is supported there by those pillars (yellow arrows). So, you've lost that front support. The only thing keeping the FLBR from being displaced in a forward direction will be the pins.

So, I'd say it's probably "no bueno." But, I'm still a bit of a noob, especially compared to some of our compadres (experienced experts) here. Let's see what they say.

Daniel, that is not going to work. Do you mind if I ask what tool you were using to clear the channel? I have built two 940SC's the channel is super easy to clear using the proper tool. Do you have a Dremel.

No I don’t think so I was using a sand paper machine I don’t remember what’s it called

My advice, to everyone, is to slow down. Be SMOOTH. Make the frame SMOOTH.

Take your time with it. A lot of time. Working with plastic is a challenge. It can melt away quickly. And, it's hard to put it back.

You can always buy another frame... and if you can... you may want to... soon. We've got about 6 weeks before the unserialized frames can no longer be sold without an FFL. And a lot of merchants are running out of stock.

Besides taking away too much, the finish is very rough on your frame. But, it's all part of the learning process.

You can rebuild the pillars with JB weld. The front pin is 2mm so I don't trust it. Get some 2 part JB Weld and a toothpick and look at a pic of how it should look. I will send you one in a few minutes in a post.

Sand paper machine? Got a photo of it?

I think it may be time to take a pause for the cause and educate yourself. Get the right tools and learn the process for a result that will function correctly and be safe. You're building a gun, not a birdhouse.
