Hi Timothy and welcome. What Does 'Rebuilt' Mean? Once a firearm is returned to Glock for a rebuild, Glock replaces any worn parts, refinishes the metal parts and lists the firearm as a "rebuild." Once complete with a new finish and new parts, the firearms are sold at a discount as rebuilds, designated by Glock's orange label. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

A "factory rebuilt Glock" refers to a Glock pistol that has been returned to the Glock factory, inspected, and repaired or refurbished to fully functional condition, often with replaced parts to address any cosmetic or mechanical issues, and then sold at a discounted price compared to a brand new Glock; essentially, it's a Glock that has been professionally restored by the manufacturer itself. Key points about factory rebuilt Glocks: Cosmetic imperfections: These Glocks may have minor scratches, blemishes, or wear and tear from previous use, which the factory repairs to make them usable again. Functional check: Glock thoroughly inspects and tests all mechanisms to ensure the pistol functions properly. Part replacement: If necessary, the factory may replace worn or damaged parts like the slide, frame, or internal components. Lower price: Factory rebuilt Glocks are typically sold at a lower price than a new Glock due to their pre-owned status.

Hi Tim, The following is done to a "Factory Rebuilt" Glock handgun: 1) Inspect and clean the gun 2) Replace any worn or outdated parts (generally, the guns appear to have brand-new internals). Frames lacking a relief cut will have it added. 3) Replace dead tritium sights with current-manufacture polymer sights. 4) Stamp the inside of the "dust cover" portion of the frame with a "7" to indicate a factory rebuild gun. 5) The gun will be shipped in a current-production padded case with two magazines, a cable lock, cleaning rod/brush, instruction packet, and loading tool. The label on the box will be stamped "Rebuilt" with a date listed. The gun will have a silver label affixed to the trigger guard indicating it is a factory rebuilt gun. . Stay safe & have a great day!
