762rocstarr Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I want to shoot production a little this year and need a different frame for my Gen 4 G34 due to a little stippling... I really just need a stripped frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike L. Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 How stippled is it? Production allows stippling in certain areas as I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
762rocstarr Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 It has a small bit of stippiling on the frame right above the trigger. Not allowed in production Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbob21 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Gunbroker always has g17/34 frames Was looking into building one from scratch in the past... It's kinda not worth it. Can find used or newish for a little less than building from parts. Also, lone wolf frames are slightly cheaper than stock glock and supposedly they're nice in the hands...

45 Raven Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Have you tried Glockmeister? I haven't checked lately, but they often have new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
762rocstarr Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Glockmeister only has gen 3. It seems gun broker may be my only option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal82 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 https://lucastactical.com/ usually keeps frames in stock and some on sale. For some reason the website isn't working for me today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeAZ Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 G17 Gen 4, was even a FDE color, $206.00 out the door(I bought one)... There is a FFL on Gunbroker.com that has them normally.... Seems the FFL's can make more $$$$$ by splitting the pistol. If you can't find the gentleman, Pm me and I'll dig his name up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegionShooter Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Gun broker has them, but the price can get pretty ridiculous so watch the auction. Otherwise scan various forum classifieds for awhile and some usually pop up at reasonable costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
762rocstarr Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Good advice fellas. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlightning Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 If I may ask, what are you thoughts on building from scratch. I have been wanting to go limited but can't really decide between building versus buying a used already build. What are you thoughts on building? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
762rocstarr Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 If i didn't already have one, i'd buy an entire gun used off this forum. Lots of deals to be had. It's way more expensive to build one in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeAZ Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Buying a used tricked out Glock can sometimes be a better investment IF your not "handy".... The Glock's are so easy to work over even for some one with limited skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarian45 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 i might be out of my lane here, but i think you're boned for a production gun. "technically" the frame and slide need to be from the same gun, which would mean the non-matching serial numbers would be a give away. On a local level I can't imagine any one cares, but there are rule-lawyers everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtired Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I have one. PM if interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a local level I can't imagine any one cares, but there are rule-lawyers everywhere. Doesn't matter at all. The upper on a Glock is what controls the caliber, not the frame. G17/G34/G17L/G22/G35/G24/G31 are all the same frame except for the ejector (9 vs 40/357) I actually have 2 replacement slides of my competition G17s. Plus OEM Glock barrels carry serial numbers, but not aftermarket barrels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtired Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I think the point was that it would violate "production division" rules. But it actually does not. 21.3 After-market slides and barrels – provided they are the same length, contour and caliber as original factory standard. SLIDES: Current rules remain in effect – You may replace the slide with an OFM or aftermarket slide which is of the same length, contour and caliber as the original slide for that model of gun.

While I don't agree with him saying frame and slide serials must match. To truly follow the rules If you have a Glock 17 frame you can only replace the slide with the same length and caliber. There is zero advantage and I don't think anyone is going to check a serial number for caliber though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtired Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 We are on the same page. For the Op, my frame is a G34 g4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
