New Glock 19 gen 5 barrel damage

[Phillygunguy]

Just bought a new gen 5 Glock 19 shot it 4 the first time at my local range using Federal ammo factory made 200 rounds. Took it home to clean and this is what I saw. Attachment 63762Attachment 63763
Clearly unacceptable quality from the factory. I'm not here to bash Glock I've owned at least 10 over the years and kept most of them. I've never seen this before. My guess it's a lemon or more likely because of panic buying the QC slipped a little because they are trying to put out as many guns as they can. Anyway I took it back to my LGS to send it to Glock. I'm sure they'll make good on it. But frustrated none the less.
Sorry for the poor quality of my phone. Just putting this out there

Not sure what I'm looking at. I see powder and lead residue on the crown coming out of the grooves in the rifling. Honestly, it's hard to tell from the pics.

Maybe just delete this thread. Sorry

My guess is he he didn’t know that the gen5 has a crown and maybe he saw that and and thought it was cracking. I don’t know but my gen5 45 has some rusting around the crown. Great gun though

I appreciate reports like this. (I wish I had seen more warnings about Faxon barrels before I purchased one.)

You need something larger at the same distance from the camera lens as the end of the barrel is, so that it can focus easily. Try laying it on that wooden table with the damage closest to the table surface, and lighting it as needed with a lamp or flashlight while you take the photo. The camera should focus on the table and the barrel will be close enough to also be in focus.

My Gen 5 seems to look the same. The Gen 5 crown is different from all of the other Glock generations. The picture is not clear enough to see any burrs. How did it shoot? If the crown was seriously screwed up you would notice it. David

It shot fine, actually the first time I had 3 failure to go into battery, but it was cheap Federal champion 115gr. So I figured shitty ammo, because I had no issues afterwards. But the dealer agreed it looked damaged. I have a 19x It has the same barrel with the crown, it shot at least 2000 rounds it didn't look like that

Again I'm not here to bash Glock. I own multiple glocks I would still trust my life with them they are extremely reliable obviously.
It was probably a lemon. Im pretty sure it's damage not carbon because it looked like steel underneath that was flaking.

I had a spot flake off to on the edge right above the crown and it started rusting. Now I am starting to wonder if this will be a bigger issue in the coming months and years.
