So how does this work?



I have a Gen 2 frame (dammit!  Austrian marked too) that has some slide bashing...from which I have no idea how as it has a stainless steel guide rod...the ejection is all over the place so I guess it's time to get a Gen 4 frame.



How much does this cost and yes, I know I need to contact Glock, but just thought I would do some recon here to see what you all say...

From memory (old, probably outdated) Glock charges $150 for a replacement frame - but that was for user error type stuff.  May be worth calling them to see what a warranty replacement frame would cost.

100 bucks plus shipping for a frame upgrade from Glock. It will be swapped for a Gen 3 frame.

Gen2 slide and Gen4 Frame don't work/fit right together.

Pics of "slide bashing"?

That is pretty bad.

Your slide lock spring is the old style that often breaks BTW.

Send the frame to Glock. They will replace it. I have heard of this, but yours is first one I've seen do that. However, you will never again have a gen 2 frame because they haven't made any in 20 years.

A gen 4 frame will NOT fit your gen 3 slide. Gen fours are made for the dual recol spring clearence. The height would not be correct.

A gen 3 will fit your slide. They make new gen 3's along side gen 4's. Your serial number will change because it's the frames serial number that matters.

Make sure you install a factory RSA in place of the stainless guide rod.
