| Just shot and cleaned it two weeks ago. Happened to be unloading it last night, and noticed something at the muzzle. I have two rust spots 1/32" wide about 1/16" long almost 180 degrees apart right at the muzzle end of the "rifling". I got it cleaned up, but now I'm wondering why. I've NEVER had any of my Glock develop rust spots. |
| No sure it was an LE trade in that I purchased. I've had it for almost a year now. It can't have too many rounds through it, there is 0 external wear on the slide, and very little on the barrel/hood and slide inside. I'd wager, just by my others no more than 1-2k. |

Normally I would say keep your weapon cleaned and properly maintained and this won't happen.
But then again, who knows, could be that particular barrel didn't get as complete a Tennifer job as it should. Although Glock Tennifered parts can rust, if the conditions are right. |

Is this you? Don't lie.

But seriously I'm anal about the maintenance of my weapons. I never had a Glock rust, saw a few under extreme circumstances, it just perplexes me. I have not seen them rust either they have a great finish on them. Never seen the barrel rust either. A friend has a older XD the slide started to rust on that. I dont know what to tell you try to oil it up real well my Win. 94 always has rust spots on it after hunting season just rub the shit out of it with oil to get them off. |
| I cleaned the barrel more yesterday. It's rust, there is mild pitting left behind. I have shot steel ammo in my other Glocks but not this one. I cleaned the barrel very well, when I got it home - when I purchased it. Have always cleaned it well after range outings. |

I've NEVER had any of my Glock develop rust spots. This just happened to me too. I have an older G27 that I bought new so I know that I only fired factory new ammo in it and cleaned it very carefully (only 3K through it). Just last month I noticed rust/pitting. I could not believe it. I do carry it IWB most of the time and the humidity from my body may have affected it but still, it had pits in a uniform pattern between the rifling. I probed it with a dental pick and confimred they were pits. Long story short, I sent it back to Glock and they sent me a new barrel last week. Never did find out what caused it. I am carefully looking at my other glock barrels when I clean them. Since I IWB, I think I need to re-oil the barel (lightly) more often. |
