I just got my new locking block in from Glockmeister. It fits great, all is good. However, I have a question about these locking blocks, and Glock parts in general. What do the little numbers on the bottom of the locking blocks mean. I was told by someone (either on GT or by Glockmeister, I forget) that it is not a part number or anything, but rather it has to do with the manufacturing process. Here's why I'm asking about it. My original G29 locking block had a 6 on the bottom. My new one has a 5. GTRhino's G29 has a 10 locking block, and Glockmeister had told me on the phone that all of theirs were either 7 or 10 (yet I got a 5 from them). So, there appears to be a 5, 6, 7, and 10, and maybe more. Anyone have an answer for what they mean? They all seem to fit and work fine.

EDIT: The locking block that Midway sent me (which was wrong, seems to be a G17 LB) has a 7. I'm now starting to think maybe Glockmeister said they had 5 and 10, not 7 and 10.

BTW, I just had to tell someone this. I was watching that show One Man Army, and there was this guy on there that had to be one of the biggest turds alive. He was a cop from somewhere in the NY/NJ area. The clothes and all he was wearing were ridiculous. But what really killed me was when they showed his home video that he sent in to get on the show. He picks up what was either a G26 or G27, and said, "Forty cal, Glock 26, baby. Don't leave home without it!" The sad thing is that he was reading the roll marks on the gun when he said it. So either he can't read, or he doesn't know which caliber he has, or both. Pitiful. The Navy SEAL owned them all. Big surprise.

I hope you get some more detail on the LB numbers because now it's got me curious. In the episode I saw, a guy from the Chair Force beat out a cop, a Marine, and one-eyed Marine. The only reason he beat the one-eyed guy is because he got dirt in his only eye.

There was a thread a while back on a similar topic and if I recall correctly the number referred to the mold used.

That's awesome. I guess it's days like those that make him wish he had learned his lesson when his mom told him not to run with scissors. I know, that's not really funny.

That seems to make sense. Obviously, the number is molded into the mold. I had heard that they were related to the manufacturing process, so that seems right.

I know this is off-topic, so I hope you don't mind too much, 21Carrier, but I just couldn't let this pass....

"Chair Force?" Really? Not too many years ago, just before an NRA high power match, a group of veterans (all shooting service rifles) were having a friendly pre-match BS session on whether the Army shooters could beat out the Marine shooters that day. Another shooter bravely stated that he was ex-Navy, which drew a loud chorus of laughter and good-spirited questions about whether they even let Sailors fire a rifle. Of course, I had to let them know that the Air Force would also be represented that day. That REALLY drew a lot of laughter and comments from the Army and Marines, but made the Navy guy feel a whole lot better. So who do you think won the match that day? That's right, Chair Force. :whistling: One of the guys remarked at the end of the match, "I guess you Air Force guys really know how to lay them in there from a distance."

Never underestimate your opponent, especially when it comes to firearms skills. :tongueout:
