| I found a mint in the box g 17 with aust proofs on the frame barrel slide .All black parts inside it has a number 17 in a little cirle on trigger guard non captive guide rod . Its been shot 20 rounds since new .Anyway would it hurt to put the new style guide rod and spring in . And also should I send it back to be upgraded with new style parts . I no a glock is a glock .But it was a old one thats like new |
Glock will not give you your old parts back if you have them upgrade it. Just FYI. I wouldnt risk sending into Glock. |
I dont know the specifics, but one of the upgrades has something to do with the firing pin and firing mechanism. I read one story of a guy sending in his early import Glock 17 (with Austrian proofs) for parts upgrades and the factory noticed a small chip on the frame. They sent the Glock back to him with a new 3rd generation frame and destroyed his 1st generation frame. I would be pissed. This is why I wont send any of my Glocks I bought for their history back to Glock. I will have a local guy do any work on them. |
