Glock serial number question.

[Paul053]

Let me see if I can explain this properly. Glock frames are the serialized piece but so is the barrel. I currently own a 17 and 34 which have interchangeable frames and slides. Legally is there a problem using a glock that has barrel that doesn't correspond with the serial number on the frame?

No, there's no law using other barrels on a Glock as you described.

Many people buy drop in match barrels that aren't serialized.

[Glamis]

frames are the serialized just like a AR lower. only thing the that has to mach your paper work.

Everytime I see this it always pops a question in my head.
What if that serial number had been reported lost, stolen, or insurance claim,
could you get in trouble.

No.

Assuming you still have lawful possession (e.g. own the gun), it would be an easy matter to clear up.

If you sold it, there will be a record of that, too.

The frame serial number is the only thing that matters. You can buy replacement barrels and slides that are not serialized and its legal.

If you are talking about the receiver yes, but parts you have records really???

Actually what I was thinking for example purely just a Hypothetical scenerio.

You own any handgun that has serial number stamped on the receiver and barrel. Now you change out the barrel for what ever reason and sell the old. Now lets say a burglary of your home happens and you have to report the firearm stolen. Now a down the road the barrel you sold for some reason gets brought into the lime light.

I think you're spending too much time thinking about a scenario where it doesn't matter.
