glock armorer

[glockmaster]

Hey, anyone know where a reputable glock armorer is in the upper bucks/montco area and how much does it typically cost to change all the springs in the pistol as part of a every two year maintenance. This may belong in the gunsmithing section, but I'm not looking to do it myself and I figured i might get more responses in this section. Thanks in advance.

I asked a similar question a few years ago. And, while I did get a response, I decided to try it out myself anyway.

Seriously, a punch (or a Glock armorer's tool), the springs, and 15 minutes is all you'll need. it really is that simple. If you were closer, I'd do it for you for free.

You have an ironic screen name for the question

It's the first time I heard that you have to change all springs every 2 years. It's usually round count, not time frame. You can search youtube for videos for how-to's. Here's an example:



You can also call around. Many local gun shops have certified Glock armorers working on site.

Do it yourself, 1 day there might not be someone there to help you....

LOL, yes I guess I didn't put much thought into my screen name other than the fact that those are the types of guns I own. I figured two years because by then I will have put a couple thousand rounds through the gun. My whole thing is I would hate to get it apart and then not be able to put it back together again..

Where is a good place to get these items cheaply?

I bought a bunch of stock Glock springs from Midway USA. Most of the springs are under $10.

Here's the link to the Glock part section, you just have to select the model and check out the parts:

Here's the link to the Glock Disassembly tool, It's only $9.79:

I just use a brass punch to take apart my whole gun, you really don't need the Glock tool. Make sure you order Stock Glock parts. If you start playing around with reduced power springs it can cause some serious reliabilty and saftey problems if you don't know what you're doing. Glocks are super easy to take apart. Just watch the videos and maybe even get a drawing of your specific gun and it should be no problem. All the info is online.
