Recommend a shop please, need a Glock G30 receiver
Posted: Wed Dec 28, 2016 9:09 am
Hello all newb here looking for a suggestion on a local shop/dealer/retailer that won't bend me over for a G30 receiver.
The backstory:
I bought an Advantage Arms 22lr conversion for my G30 because I thought it was a nice cheap alternative to buying a 22lr pistol. In hindsight I should have just bought an entire pistol. I bought this to ease my gal into shooting. She has a VP9 and can shoot it, but I think she might be developing some bad habits. I just want her to focus more on the sight picture and the trigger squeeze and I don't think the current recoil she deals with allows that. Only took the kit out once and put a few rounds through it. I didn't have the proper/suggested ammo on hand and had a few hiccups. After doing research I read about some people having issues with beating up their receivers. This G30 is my edc piece and reading that did not give me the warm fuzzies.
Anyhow thats why I'd like to purchase a separate receiver. Digging around the net the cheapest I've seen one is $175 + $10 shipping for a factory new frame. I also talked to a guy up in Deer Park about utilizing him as my FFL to transfer the thing $5 transfer fee beats the heck out of everything I have seen from others in Spokane (Frontier Gear is the business name).
Sure would be nice if Glock would go ahead and build some 22lr models. Anyone else think those would sell?
Appreciate any help.
