They mill the slide, they provide the suppressor sights and they install the suppressor sights for $125. There is no RMR or RMR install included in that deal for that price. They do not include a blank plate or screws, but will for an additional fee. I assume they will provide the RMR and/or install your RMR for an additional fee as well.

This is the email I received on Monday:

And this is from the webpage linked above:

If you select the options for "Modify for RMR - No RMR Sight (Mount/Screws Not Included)" and "No barrel thanks", the price is indeed $125.

FYI - The screws needed for mounting an RMR on an OST milled Glock slide are #6-32x3/8" (I have one of the pre-milled OST slides already).

Also FYI - I am not affiliated with OST in any way. I'm just a big fan of RMRs on pistols, and this is a smoking hot deal!

I just got an email from OST that said they are lowering their prices for milling Glock slides for RMRs. The new price is $125 for any "OEM Glock slide", includes no blank plate or screws, but it DOES include the suppressor sights. The screws and blank plate are available for an additional fee (not sure how much).

They also said they've shortened their turn-around time to 2 weeks.

They mill the slide, they provide the suppressor sights, they install RMR and suppressor sights for $125?
Got a link?

This is the email I received on Monday:

Through some negotiations, we are able to cut down our cost on slide milling and turn around time. Our goal being to get this system into as many hands as possible, we are lowering the price on our Trijicon RMR installations from $280 down to $125!

As well, our turn around time looks like it may be cut from 30 days to as little as same week providing there are not backlogs in Trijicon's deliveries.

Here is the link to the Trijicon RMR Installation Package.

http://www.onesourcetactical.com/suareztrijiconrmrinstallation.aspx

If you have been putting off this because of cost, that problem is now gone.

And this is from the webpage linked above:

Send us your OEM Glock slide (any model) and our expert technicians will install our RMR Red Dot sight package. That includes milling the slide for the Trijicon RMR Red Dot Sight of your choice and adding the necessary TSD Suppressor Sights.

The suppressor sights come standard on the package.

Just as an FYI they charge 22.99 for shipping and handling to return it to you. Seemed kind of high to me....but I did it anyway.

That still puts it under $150 out-the-door. It's cheaper than anywhere else that I know of. I'm currently finishing up another gun project and then I've got another slide (or two

) to send in to OST for milling.

Are you guys putting anything on the milled out portion to lessen the possibility of rust? I don't think OST refinishes the milled out portion, is there anything that I could do myself easily?

I just got mine back from Mark Housel at L&M. He was helpful, polite, and the finished product is excellent.

I had the suppressor sights installed and the milled out section Cerakoted. I also added the Apex extractor.

Just got mine back from L&M today! Couldn't be happier! I had Mark mill out the slide for my RMR 07 with plate, tritium suppressor sights, Cerakoted Burnt Bronze and added front serrations. His workmanship is outstanding. Mark even let me change my mind on BUIS placement. I sent thit of in the mail on March 2nd and had it back March 25. Really looking forward to getting this work of art dirty!

im very happy with my jpoint. doesnt hang over the edges like an rmr does, super light weight, i use it to rack my slide, still is zeroed after a few k rounds. and is half the cost.

I don't think the Grip Force Adapter makes a difference in keeping track of the dot, but if you look at my hand closely you can see where the other 2 Glocks I shot that morning that don't have GFA's bit me.

I don't hold my thumb up in the air like that when I'm actually shooting, but I get high enough on the grip that they chew me up pretty regularly.

Just got around to installing a Trijicon RM63 seal plate on my G19/RM02, it's been sitting on my shelf for a year lol!

Before installing the plate I cleaned up the milled area and painted it with LPS Cold Galvanize coating. Past two times I've changed the battery I have found surface rust in the milled area, hence the coating.

I took a little off both sides of the plate and dehorned them as well, I didnt like the edge sticking out and with my luck, cutting me up, during handling.

Changed the battery while I was in there too.

No pics (this weekend maybe), but I wanted to share my awe at L&M's turnaround time. I had two slides mailed Monday 7/21, and they are back in my hands 7/30. This was just basic installation with cerakote on the milled sections, but that time is amazing. Of course, they look great. Thanks Mark!
