Modified glock OOS transfer.

[geistacwm]

Gentlemen.

Apologies in advance if this has been covered.

Can an on-list Glock(gen3, 23 specifically) with different slide and barrel be transfered in from out of state without a SSE?

Is the frame, which is CA legal the only recorded portion, or must the slide and barrel have matching serials?


Thanks in advance.

Yes, the frame is what the serial number is taken from, not the slide or barrel. Whether or not the slide and barrel match the frame should be of no consequence.

[geistacwm]

Thank you.

Can anyone else confirm?

[mikeinla]

slide and barrel do NOT have to have matching serial numbers.

On a side note, personally, I see diminished value in a Glock that has a factory slide and barrel that do not match the frame. Of course, that's just my opinion, though.

Double check with the FFL. Some might do it while some might not

[geistacwm]

Roger that.

The question is, is "on-list Glock(gen3, 23 specifically) with different slide and barrel" actually on-Roster?

I suggest the answer is "no".

Not meaning to add to the confusion, so let me ask a clarifying question.

I think we all agree, the frame is the serial numbered portion of the weapon that is registered.

So could you not have the frame sent to your FFL where it sits for 10 days while you cool off and have the slide and barrel sent to your house where you can lovingly stroke and polish them?

My interpretation is it would be the exact same pistol, but has a different serial number on the slide and barrel. Unless the model, which is marked on the slide, is not listed on the roster, I'm not entirely sure where the problem would arise. Of course, speculation, and what makes sense to me doesn't always align with how the DOJ or receiving FFL would interpret the transaction.

Seems fairly straight-forward, though, and having purchased a Glock, the dealer did not take note of the barrel or slide to make sure the serial numbers matched. The model was taken from the slide, and the serial number was taken directly from the frame. That said, I'd be surprised if a dealer noticed that they didn't match.

Maybe the OP can elaborate on the specifics of a different slide and barrel.

Sounds useful - I interpreted 'different' to be 'after market' - that is, not as tested when the model was added to the Roster.

I don't thing the serial number match would be an issue, if the parts were factory Glock from the same model and version.

But as noted, no 'just frames' are on the Roster.
