![]() For me, the Freedom Wolf isn't a 'frame' to begin with, it is just a hunk of plastic, so cutting-out a couple extra strips of polymer wouldn't matter much, but to each their own. Check 'em out if you want to go that route. But hey, Lone Wolf will make you pay to ship-in a frame for warranty anyway, so does it really matter? Combat Armory sells a suitable replacement for the discontinued Blocks for $20. While you CAN use available Blocks P/N-7894 as used in most Gen 4 Glocks, LWD will VOID your warranty if you modify your frame to use these thicker, beefier Locking Blocks. They manufacture their own replacement ($31) that they are happy to sell you, when it is actually in stock. Unlike Polymer-80 frames that include their own proprietary FRLB (Front Rail/Locking Block component), Lone Wolf decided to 'stick it to the buyer' by using a special flat-sided discontinued Locking-Block. HUH? That is right, LWD DELIBERATELY designed their Freedom Wolf frames to use a discontinued Locking Block. However, the Freedom Wolf can safely use a polymer pin. That is why they include their own steel pin. *Polymer 80 frames should NEVER use an OEM-style polymer Trigger Housing Pin. Be sure to get the appropriate Gen 4 Trigger Bar if intending to swap over to South-Paw configuration! These are 'reversible' for left-handed shooters. Lone Wolf got creative on this one, and molded their frame to take either the flat-type springs used in Gen 4 models, OR the Gen 5 coil-type. " Ungh! I can't pull the trigger!!!"Įxtended Controls are also interchangeable between Gen 3 and Gen 4. NY1 and NY2 Trigger Springs are compatible as well, P/N-7405 (Olive) and P/N-7412 (Orange) respectively. Gen 3 Connectors fit fine however, and may have a slight difference in trigger-feel, but which one is 'right' will depend purely on preference. Extractors can be removed and swapped-around as well, and are the only aspect that is different between the listed P/Ns. But the Gen 4 Housings are all the same for every Gen 4 model Glock (except for the 'slim' single-stack models), and Gen 3 G20' SF' and G21' SF' models where Glock initially pioneered the slimmer Housing design. Gen 3 Housings will NOT fit a Wolf frame, period. If you never plan to swap the Mag Catch over, a Gen 3 Trigger Bar will work fine. ![]() A small 'bump' on the Shark-Fin helps to stabilize the Trigger Bar when swapping the Magazine Catch for left-handed use. The Freedom Wolf is based on a Glock Gen 4. So, if you are planning a Freedom Wolf Build, you should know a few things before you send out for happy little bags of Freedom pieces.įirst, Polymer 80 frames are based on Glock Gen 3 pistols. In this first Chapter, let's talk about the parts. " So," you say to yourself, " I've Built a couple of Polymer 80 pistols already, what is the big deal about the Freedom Wolf? I have to 'glue' the Rails into the frame? The Magwell is as blocky and ugly as an AMC Gremlin? Any other differences?"
