When I checked out the gun, it looked new. I’d say less than fifty rounds. A used Glock will have what we call “smileys” on the barrel. They are caused by the tilt barrel design and the slide rubbing the top of the barrel during recoil. This one hadn’t even formed a grin yet. Nothing needed to be replaced. It’s all good and range ready.
Ha!!!
Maybe I need to meet up with druryj and let him shoot it first?
No, seriously, I will likely be buying a new spring assembly anyway. And, since I probably have fired more rounds through my other Glock, I'll likely get a new one for it as well.
Glocks also have a lot of tolerance built into them. That, and a normal thing in manufacturing called "tool wear" leads me to believe that the presence or absence of smileys is not a reliable, all-the-time indicator of round count. But hey, experts more knowledgeable than me may feel differently. Given the fact that our man has acquired a used Glock, and an inspection of the suspect pistol by another good member indicates that it is good to go is all well and good is all fine. But I don't care if Gaston Glock hisdammself inspected it. It's a used gun. The recoil spring and it's remaining service life is therefore suspect in my small brain. I am going to dig around in my parts box and if I have a new factory RSA that will work, I'll even give it to the OP. Trust used or trust used not, but to me...
