I wonder if you please could tell me if the surface of the marked areas suppose to be like that; I am not a Glock guy. This is a brand new gun. Thanks in advance.
The only thing I see wrong is the lack of proper lubrication. The rail will develope wear marks as soon as the weapon is discharged. The ones shown in the photos are most likely from QC testing.

This is a brand new, never fired by me gun. I just got it and I have not cleaned it yet. I purchased it for more than three weeks ago, but it had pit rust and then I sent it back to Glock; I got it back for a few minutes ago. They state that they changed the locking block and cleaned it; I noticed right away that they did not use copper grease. I wonder about the marked areas because my old Glock had a perfect clean surface with not marks at all. Regardless if it affects its functionality or not, I do not want to have rust on my firearms; even less if it is a brand new gun.
Thanks for the advice. I always use Eezox and Militec-1; IMO they are the best cleaner/lube that you can get.
As far as lube goes, I use TW-25B grease on all my guns. I only use oil where I cannot get the grease. I use "G lube" for my oil. I think Glockmeister or Top Glock sell it.
For cleaning - I've gone from Hoppes to Gunzilla...works well and does not stink up the house.:image035:
I just looked at my G30 and there are a couple of polished areas where the arrows indicate, probably from the barrel locking/unlocking during cycling. I quit counting rounds, so I can't tell you how many it has thru it. (1000+)
When I got it, the only place I noticed the copper grease was on the underside of the slide, at the rear. It all got cleaned off on the first range trip.
I wouldn't get concerned unless you saw heavy abrasion or gouging after firing. I run a Q-tip lightly dabbed in grease down the rails after cleaning and wipe off any visible globs.
Be sure to look through the manual on it, there's some areas on a Glock that you just shouldn't oil. The book should show you what to lube and what to avoid.

I would say that if this Glock is unfired, it has been operated by hand many times. The slide stop lever in the first photo certainly seems well broken in.
That said, I don't see any wear that seems unusual or unsafe.
I would think that since you sent it back to the factory, they probably replaced your locking block that had been pulled from a used parts bin, passed inspection for re-use, and was placed into your gun.
Obviously the finish of a Glock’s internal parts is not what I am used to , and rust on a Glock is something normal and I should not worry about it. That is what the support guy said the first time I contacted them, "it does not affect its functionality, do not worry about it" :blink:.
Well, that doesn't say much. You can run a Glock bone dry. Or if you prefer, you can sneeze some boogers in there, and it should run just fine...:hand5::rofl:
