Hi John, it is rebuilt at the Glock factory. The following is done to a "Factory Rebuilt" Glock handgun: 1) Inspect and clean the gun 2) Replace any worn or outdated parts (generally, the guns appear to have brand-new internals).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. . In most cases, rebuilt Glocks started off as floor or display models, maybe even a sample run that was made to show off the firearm. Rarely will any of them have any round count, and certainly not a high round count.
It means the gun was gone over by an armorer and any worn parts replaced. Cleaned lubed and test fired.
