Got a quite rude email from Glock’s Legal Team DEMANDING that I take down the files containing ANY reference to their Trademarked name.
So I did. I also pointed out to them that these files were close to twenty years old and could be found on virtually ANY Survivalist, Prepper or Emergency preparedness site anywhere in the world as well as in hundreds of electronic books on the same subjects.
I pointed out that they could also be found on archive.org by searching the Text section using the search terms “Glock” or “Full Auto Conversion” and that since the archive.org wayback machine mirrors the contents of websites all over the world that the same files could likely be found on hundreds of not thousands of the websites mirrored there.
But it’s clearly a serious issue for Glock that WE have the files available so anyone who needs them will have to look on Archive.org for them lest we be raise the ire of Glock’s Legal team.

p.s. Totally unrelated but I had a Glock 17 once when I was in Law Enforcement. Really did not like it at all. Of all the guns I had that one was had THE worst trigger I’ve ever encountered on a semi-automatic pistol. Sold it less than a year later.
