Too much Glock copper grease?

[ColdDayInHell]

I just got my new Gen4 G19 in trade for my G36 today and I noticed a large amount of copper grease on the internals. I will keep all of the grease on the slide rails but this seems like a lot near the cam block. I believe that Glock uses Loctite anti seize lubricant for all their pistols and I want to know if anyone has similiar stories with it. Thanks.

Looks like somebody got a little carried away with it. Won't hurt anything and you can simply redistribute it to the portion of the underside of the slide that needs it most- that little "hump" just to the left of the striker cruciform.

Just shoot it!

I'll stick this in autochuckers for you.

...and don't replace the anti-seize when it's gone. It's for break in on new pistols.

Nice, you got a great amount. Did they make you pay extra?

 

[W.E.G.]

Its a non-issue.

Shoot it, clean it, repeat.

It's fine, take it to the range and go to it.

I just got a new G26 a couple weeks ago and it too had a lot of copper grease in it. Didn't cause any problems.

Seems like QC at Glock is going a little grease happy over there. Yeah yeah I know, "just shoot it!!" blah blah.

This isn't my first firearm and I know that Glocks don't need to be broken in, it's just that I am a neatfreak and keep all my guns in perfect working order, and lightly oiled. My 36 had a little copper on the slide rails but not globs of it like the 19. Oh well.

Thanks to those who didn't respond with condescending intent!

Maybe somebody will come along an post a response of which the OP approves. Good luck with that gooped-up new Glock! Not something that I'd personally have wasted keyboard time on. If, in my judgment, there was too much gease, I'd just remove a little, clean and properly lube it. I wouldn't "lightly oil" my Glock; I"d just use four to five small drops, per Glock's recommendation.

I actually bought some from Midway to use on some of my firearms. From I have read (grain of salt) it is quality stuff to use all the time.

I have read the same thing. It is just anti-seize lubricant which will never gum up and will provide you with long lasting lubrication. Good stuff.

Interesting. I purchased a Gen 4 19 last weekend with a similar issue. However, instead of being thick in the internals, I can see the copper anti-seize grease inside the firing pin channel. Not making it up. I have no idea as to why the factory would allow this to happen. I'm shooting it for the first time this Saturday morning. I hope it's a non-issue.

Test fire date: 7/31/12. Red label box. Serial number TNVXXX.

Break in a Glock?

Break in a Glock?

You know, shoot it till it explodes in your hand.

Glock

This illustrates that Glock has the good sense to use GREASE in appropriate places in their pistols. Just my opinion so don't flame me too much. The Glock Manual is written for the "lowest common denominator" ie people with no common sense and those that never clean a pistol. Glock ignores the manual themselves. There's other "stupid" things in the manual as well.

I've owned many Glocks, still own three. I've fired tens of thousands of rounds through 15 or so I've owned with zero malfunctions. I've always lubed with RemOil and Sentry Hi-Slip Grease in apropiate places. And to be most blasphemous I clean the firing pin channel with "Brake Cleaner" and re-oil with RemOil. I've been flamed to a roasted idiot for doing both. I do not suggest anyone else disobey the Glock Manual. I believe that the Manual reflects Glock having to deal with Departments that used grease/lubes indiscriminatly and never cleaned weapons. Resulting in failures. Just my opinion and your mileage may vary.
