Re: Broken rail on glock

I'm sure I could have boxed the gun up and kept my mouth shut and saved some money. But, I had read fedex's policy and I like to sleep good at night. I'm not going to be deceitful to save a few bucks.

Re: Broken rail on glock

Yes it was an E series, no they would not pay shipping both ways. One thing that I did notice - it was shipped back to me second day instead of overnite. If fedex would have let me do that it would have been half the cost.
I can't complain too much, I got a great deal on the gun even with the cost of shipping to glock and now it is basically a new gun.

Re: Broken rail on glock

Got the glock back today. Not bad, 2 week turn around. They put a new frame on it. Only thing that is a little weird now is I have different SN's on the frame and the slide/barrel. No biggie.

The Annoyed Man wrote:I don't believe this happened. This was a mighty and invincible Glock! They never break. They never jam. They run even when they've been immersed in frozen mud and stored in a rotting camel's corpse. You can throw them out of airplanes and shoot them with a .50 BMG and it won't even scratch the finish. No, this was a cheap knockoff like those fake Rolex watches.... ...or like a 1911.

A real Glock would have never broken. :mrgreen:

I'm sorry. Was that a little over the top? :smilelol5:
Now I am the "Annoyed Man"! :lol::

Re: Broken rail on glock

I had several people suggest that i just hand them a box and not tell them what was in it, but I had read Fedex's rules before I went and felt I needed to abide by them. I slept very well that night. I'm not too upset about the $63. Glock has already told me they are replacing the frame and they will go through the entire gun. When I get this thing back it will be as good as new. Considering the deal I got on the gun and the extras that came with it, I will be smealing like a rose.

Re: Broken rail on glock

Shipped the g23 by fedex today. $63.00! At first they said I had to be a dealer to ship it. Once I convinced them that it was ok since I was shipping it to glock, they insisted it had to be shipped priority overnite. Now I understand the overnite thing but does it really have to be there by 10:30?
Just another scheme to take another few bucks.

Re: Broken rail on glock

Glock tech was very nice. As soon as I said broken rail he said fedex it and they will put a new frame on it. Will be interesting to see what else they do. The night sites are deem but not sure if they are even factory. When I get it back anything that hasn't been replaced I replace myself with the exception of the slide which appears to have little wear. Basically when it's all said and done I should have what amounts to a new gun for a fraction of the price.

Broken rail on glock

Got a really good deal on a glock 23 only to get it home and discover a broken rail on left rear. Looks like its going to work out well. Talked to glock today. Appears it is a known defect for that production year. For the cost of shipping them the gun they are going to put a new frame on it and take care of any other worn parts.

I love my glocks.
