I recently picked up a Marui G17 and a Guarder frame, however when I swapped over to the new frame, I was noticing my slide was not returning to battery. I could push it back fine, but it seemed to begin hanging up about 3/4" out of battery. Releasing the slide would have it stop about 1/4" from battery.
I swapped back to the clearsoft frame, and the slide seems to cycle fine, but on the Guarder frame, it seems to run into friction problems. Is this a common occurence? Should I be sanding down the frame where the slide rests to get a better cycle? I did run a piece of paper between the slide on both frames, and there was definitely more resistance on the Guarder frame, which indicates some fitting may be required.
I did test fire a magazine through the gun, and this being my first experience with an airsoft gun, I think I'm hooked. I'm eyeballing a slide/barrel upgrade next. Thoughts on the Detonator kit? It looks like it might be the best, fit & finish wise. But that price... also, slides and barrels are kosher to order from outside of Canada, yes?

Thought I'd edit this with my solution to the above problem, rather than removing this post. Turns out when screwing in the front frame screw, if it's screwed all the way in, it tightens the inner frame to the outer frame just enough (I mean fractions of fractions of a millimeter) that the slide gets caught between the outer frame and the slide rails, and the friction prevents it from returning to fully to battery. I solved it by backing off the front frame screw about a turn and a half or so. I imagine a stronger recoil spring, or filing the forward frame rail or slide rail would also work
