Recoil spring round count

[birdzman]

I have a G19 I got in the mid 80s, it has 25 to 30k rounds through it. I have replaced the barrel and the guide rod and recoil spring.

My question, is there anything else I should look at for replacement ?

Thanks

Why did you replace the barrel?

I picked up a Lone Wolf barrel in a trade and decided to put it on.

you will find that if you just did an overhaul and bought all 30 something parts to the gun, you will pay less than $100. And if you were going to pick and choose. i would say;

locking block pin

slide stop

firing pin spring

locking block

replacement springs for your magazines

probably all the springs that are involved with the trigger.

extactor?? the new ones have the loaded round indicator, which is kind of a cool feature, plus they are not expensive.

if you have factory sights, I would replace those. thats the first thing that goes in the trash when I get a new glock.

other than that, you could leave everything as is. I am sure there will be others that will chime in.

I would ask an armorer from Glock, (not just anybody who took the armorer's course), if you can change the extractor with a current model. I recall that there were at least two types made pre 1990's and now there's the LCI (loaded chamber indicator). The extractor depressor plunger and/or bearing may be different for those early model guns. You may need to change all associated parts with the extractor.

PS If you change the locking block, make sure you get the correct one. Glocks were originally made with 2 pins to hold all the parts together, now they have 3 pins. The locking blocks are different.
