    On the Glock 17 and G19 Polymer80% builds, does one want to use a ramped or non-ramped barrel?
    What are you all using?

    I don't think it matters, since I've seen it both ways. I'm assuming you're talking about the ramp at the top of the chamber at the locking lug.

    So, then, would you hesitate to buy a Glock replacement barrel for G17/19 that said it was NON-Ramped?

    I don't think such a thing exists since it wouldn't work.

    Are you sure it was referring to the feed ramp and not the shape of the locking lug at the top of the chamber?

    As a heads-up, the BCA threaded Glock barrels are on sale again. $60 shipped with coupon code Glock10, and they have the 17 barrels in stock this time. I was happy enough with my 19 barrel that I went ahead and bought one for my 17.

    Hey guess what, It also doesn't have a Gas system, or a gas hole diameter, But i'm going to guess since those are included, BearCreek is just using their AR15 barrel template. Where you would be interested in M4 feed ramps, or rifle ramps.

    Any other good parts sales popping up for anyone? Decent slide at Brownell's (for a G19, my next project) for $165 w/coupon, might be a start. So far I can't come in under 400-425 for parts, but I'm looking...
