No clue on restippling but I know of at least 1 instructor the slide rail wore out between 85 and 100k. Best I remember he sent it to Glock and they replaced it.
Brownell’s sells spray grit as do a few non-firearm spray paint companies. Talon Grips aren’t bad, but not sure how well those being precut would mate up to your modified franes.
I dont think there is a replacement charge on a stock Glock that breaks, but the modifications may cause a nominal fee to kick in.
2018 I had a breach face fail on a 2nd Gen that was covered under warranty, but switching the frame to a 3rd Gen was a $100 fee which ended up being a refurb with night sights that was like new.
I wish I had a few Gen 2 glocks socked away. I really don’t feel like the current offerings are as good. I shot my son’s gun which is the 17X or whatever… gen 5 theoretically… and it still threw a spent case to the LEFT side of my head. I had a gen 3 that did that shit and malfed all the time. Somehow American mediocrity leaked into the excellent Glock design.
I am tired spent all day either with a rifle that the optic was giving me major headache. Or trying to get a business deal going with rich idiots.
So let me try this again.
I have built a poly 80% frame it was fun, but I don’t want to do it again.
I like the way the Grey Ghost frame looks more than the lone wolf. I know the loan wolf is bought as a finished frame either with parts installed or you can install the parts. Since I will be pulling the old parts from my really old Glock frames, I just want to plug them into a ready to go frame.
I did refinish the frame using carbide silica, and then painted it with Alumihyde and it looked great. It felt terrible in my hand, so I ground off all the paint epoxy and carbide silica.
Now the frame looks like a rat rod. I just may spray it with the clear grit I bought and let it go.
I can’t say for sure how long a Glock frame will last. However, I have numerous 2nd gen glocks that have seen many rounds. This includes my 2nd gen 17 with approximately 285,000 rounds down the tube. It is still going strong.
You’re not understanding what he is asking. Current AFT decree requires 80% receiver/lower are now to be serialized, that has nothing to do with his question.
