I just bought my first Glock, a Glock 34 with a FBR prefix serial number. The guy I got if from represented that he had bought it new not too long ago, test fired it and put it away (obiviously dirty).
Just cleaned it up- certainly looks new, virtually no internal wear, no nicks, no dings. However once I got the hardened fouling out of the barrel, the lands are high polish shiny but in much of all the grooves is wierd stuff that looks like krackel finish black paint which doesn't want to brush out. Is this the Tenifer stuff mentioned in the "How to Buy a Glock Atricle"? I've cleaned a lot of barrels ,but never saw one quite like this.
Paid $450 for the gun in the box, 5 extra Glock magazines, a plastic paddle holster and three Safariland plastic magazine holders. Thought I did ok but now am concerned about the barrel. Anybody got any thoughts? Thanks, Joe
