I have a new to me Glock 17 gen 3. The gun was a police trade in. This is my first Glock but not my first handgun.
My fault for not doing a thorough inspection when buying. When I got home I disassembled the gun to clean it. I found wear marks (rough) on both sides of the inside of the slide (pictured). There are no corresponding marks on the frame or barrel. Serial numbers all match.
There is a lot of external wear on the gun but these marks are the only marks inside the gun (barrel looks almost new).
The gun came with three mags. Two are marked LE/
govt only. The have squared off pieces of metal at the where you look at the top of the loaded mag. These functioned perfectly.
The other mag is also a glock mag but is rounded at the top (inverted U). The mag would not lock the slide back after the last round and you have to pull this mag from the gun (empty or full) to remove rather than dropping free via gravity.
I think I will take a stone to the abrasions inside the slide to make the smooth. Any ideas on how they occured?
Thank you for any insights.
