I recently bought an early Gen 1 Glock 17 (AY-prefix, ITH barrel code, so September of 1986.) The gun itself is otherwise original minus the upgraded internals. For those unfamiliar: in the early 1990's Glock upgraded specific parts in the frame and slide to address safety concerns. These new parts were silver/stainless in finish, whereas originals were black. Needless to say guns that weren't upgraded are less common and more desirable to collectors.
I'd love to find original Glock frame and slide parts, and given the sheer number of older Glocks that have made their way to Massachusetts I suspect there are still some of these parts floating around in the state, perhaps in someones parts bin or an armorers toolbox. Anyone have a lead? Thanks!
