    Glock 20c barrel quandary

    I have in interesting issue with my tupperware 20c. After shooting roughly 50 rounds with factory new jacketed ammo the gun's accuracy turns from .5 inch groups to 50% on the paper at 25 yards. I examined the barrel to find two lines following the ports which are inline with the rifling. The lines appear to be a strong mixture of copper and some powder. From what I can tell one of two things is happening. 1) The air vents are cooling the exposed portion of the bullet resulting in a deposit of copper on the barrel which builds up to cause inaccuracy. or 2) the port holes are burred which results in a buildup of copper and inaccuracy. The gun is roughly 1 year old, 1,000-1,500 rounds and has had a 20lb wolf spring, steel guide rod and ghost trigger installed, though the issue existed before they were installed. Thoughts?

    hmmm contact glock send the barrel they will send you another one.
    Weird I have never heard of that one before but yeah sounds like a build up.
    Do you ever get blown primers? Are you running it hot?

      Never had a blown primer. I dont run it hot due to the whole lack of fully supported chamber. I load about 6.5gr of unique generally which without my chrono book with me Im guessing gives 950-1100 ft/sec on a 180gr. However I do have a fun Power Pistol load I make for a friend of mine's LW6 barrel that pushes a 180gr 1400 or so with no case deformity after 8 loads or so.

      If I send them the barrel Im thinking they will send a different SN on it. That sucks as I have sequential #ed G20s...
