I talked to GLOCK today and got the recoil spring and ejector part #'s that have been updated.

 

The recoil spring they will send you direct if you call them but an armorer has to install the ejector.

 

If anybody has any Gen 4 issues PM me and give me the prt #'s and I'll tell you if you have the updated prt.

 

The spring # is on the spring flange and the prt # for the ejector is on the right side of the ejector.

Thanks Frank. I have noo issues with my gen 4's althought I did get the recoil spring update.

I don't have a Gen 4 but is the ejector install for warranty reasons only or they won't ship it to the owner directly like they will the recoil spring?

Any reason you just can't tell the updated part numbers here and save someone the trouble of PM'ing you?

Not sure, but I would guess there are different P/N's for different models and maybe more info than Frank wants to post, but that's just a guess.

Good point. I hadn't thought of that.

glock went through a few updates/fixes with the gen 4 ejectors, so there is not a simple old or new.... it is old, updated, still broken, new.

I really don't know the answer Harry. But it involves removal of the fire control parts and reinstalling them into the new ejector housing I guess they are cautious.

They don't publish the numbers so I figure I shouldn't either.

Thanks Frank.

They wont ship the updated ejectors to owners. You have to go through an armorer or ship your pistol(s) to the factory for replacement.

 

The problem is/was that some folk are/were experiencing brass to the face /head because of out of spec ejectors. Not all Gen4 have this problem, but enough out of spec ejectors were found that an updated ejector for the 19, 17, 23, 22 has been made, with stricter quality control.

I have all the new parts, they walked me through over the phone how to install my extractor still having issues, I removed the new put the old in with a new recoil spring and a new firing ping spring works flawlessly the spring is made by ghost I have the full 3.5 trigger set up seems to of fixed it after my horror of a stove pipe every magazine

That's because the "extractor" is not the problem, the "ejector" is the problem.

 

What numbers are stamped on the side of your "ejector", 1882 ? If so, you need to have the "ejector" updated.

 

And it seems you have aftermarket parts (ghost,3.5 trigger set up, etc), so it is unfair to say you are haveing problems with your Gen4. Go back to stock, get the new ejector and lets see.

Excellent troubleshooting post, +1 for that response.

My G19 Gen4's shot-date is Sept.14th, 2011.

 

No problems in 200 rounds.

 

Newer production Generation 4 Glocks seem to be ok.

I never had 1 failure of any kind with either my Gen4 19 or 23. It is they just had some QC issues with some of the ejectors being out of spec.

 

Do you have "336" stamped on your ejector? Thats the original ejector. And what #'s are on your RSA, 0-4-3?
