jimbullet Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Got a STI DVC limited. There is a three digit on the barrel and another three digit in the inside of the slide. The barrel I can see is the last three digits of of my serial number. The digits on the slide though does not correspond to the serial number at all so I am curious what this means? Anyone with a DVC have looked at your guns digits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glk21C Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Maybe look at the bright side. Possible while going through a quality inspection STI realized something was wrong with the slide so they fit a new slide to the existing frame and barrel? Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly no issues but the mere fact they dont match tells me that maybe something went wrong with the quality control as that would have meant that the slide, barrel and frame was matched up during fitting.

You may be absolutely right. There may have been an issue that someone found and made it right before it left the factory. Hence the mismatched #s. Its human nature to assume the worst. But unless there's an actual mechanical issue, I don't see losing sleep over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, something went wrong and they actually caught it and fixed it. Be glad that is the case vs many of the other issues STI owners experience.

KrymSIX Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Better they caught the issue and fixed it at the factory than sent it through and have you buy it only to have to battle through function checks and troubleshooting before sending it back to the factory. You could call them and confirm that is what happened if you have some reason to believe something nefarious took place. Other than that if it runs well, seems like it doesn't hurt anything that the numbers don't all match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Service Desk Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) I used to have a Detonics Scoremaster that was as loose as a goose, rattled like a tin can full of nails and galled every other time I shot it...... All the numbers matched though. You have a great gun that you were happy with until you read this thread... Stop beating yourself up over something that does not matter, you will feel much better and the gun will still be great. That is Zen.

phil plesetz Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Krieghoff shotguns had all 3 numbers match years ago, receiver-iron-barrel. Many guns now the barrel will have a different number than the other 2. If it shoots good don't concern yourself too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
