KSC GLOCK 19 - Broken Outer barrel.

[HicksNZ]

Hi all, I have a KSC GLOCK 19 heavyweight version with upgraded aluminium slide and metal outer barrel and the out barrel was broken, why? I don't know.

I glued the two parts back togetter using JD-Weld ( dry for 2days) and all looked ok. Have not tried using it with gas but it was started to crack again with in 2 days of just pulling back the slide.

I am going to purchase replacement just have to find one.


Any ideas why it broke?

Thanks for looking

Asking why it broke is rather like saying you lost something, someone asks "Where did you lose it?", and you say "If I knew where I lost it, it wouldn't be lost, would it?"

Unless you know the brand of the metal slide/barrel, you are kinda SOL and will have to buy a new set because not every outer barrel/slide combo works together.

Hi me again, is were any way to find out which brand of the metal slide/barrel I have.

It is a known problem... I am presuming that your purchased the gun used?

if so .. it was well used

I have had 4 break this way after thousands of rounds.. they start to form stress cracks .. and eventually the just break

gluing it won't work .. you need a new outer barrel

Hi, thank you for the reply. Yes I did purchased 2nd hand. It must be a bad design if the keep breaking.

Do you know the best / Cheapest to get them.

Thanks again
