Re: Some questions on Glock maintenace

Figure I've heard most often is 5000 rounds for recoil spring on older gens, and longer for gen 4.
For mag springs, the advice I've received is that they wear out at the same speed as the rest of the mag, so replace the whole thing.
I clean every 3rd or so trip, but you need to make sure it works afterwards, so maybe cleaning before a range trip isn't a bad idea?

Re: Some questions on Glock maintenace
One of the more crucial areas to clean a Glock, is the firing pin and the channel in which it lives. cleaning everywhere that you can see with the naked eye is usually sufficient, but depending on how much you shoot, i would recommend removing the firing pin, and clean it and the firing pin channel making sure you remove all the accumulated gunk. There is a finite buildup of carbon on the shoulder of the firing pin, which if left untreated can build up sufficiently leading to light strikes. I experienced this with my G22 while shooting standard in ipsc. After cleaning said channel the problem went away immediately. How to do it? youtube is your friend....
