Feeding issues Gen3 Glock 17.

[Mattyb]

Ive recently purchased a Lone Wolf 9mm barrel and decided to try it out this afternoon. The barrel is threaded and has a Lone Wolf compensator on it as well. The guide rod is stainless with 20lb spring and a recoil buffer. It's having trouble feeding and extracting spent case. I tried 2 different types of ammo with no prevail. I went back to the stock guide rod with 17lb spring and no difference. I did notice the feed ramp not having the same angle as the stock barrel. Is this a normal occurrence and is it something I need to have grinded down from an armorer? Would you know someone who tackles such jobs?

I think you need a lighter spring for those comps right? regardless, glockmeister is a great armorer. They have a $30 dollar rebuild service. They replace all wear parts, rebuild 2 mags, and test fire the gun. With parts it cost me about 45 bucks. It is no longer listed as a service on their page, but they still offer it based on this email from them in July:

Thank you for your interest in our products and services. Yes, an annual inspection/cleaning runs $30.00 plus any parts which require replacement. We don't currently have any of our services listed on our website - typically annual inspections are conducted by customers coming into one of our two retail locations. You are welcome to ship your gun to us for the service; no FFL interaction is required because it is service work and not a gun transfer.

Does the gun work OK with the stock factory barrel and recoil spring? If so, nothing is probably wrong with it. It probably needs that aftermarket barrel fitted or something.

You most likely need a lower power spring. LWD and their distributors say "Stainless steel guide rod and reduced power recoil springs are recommended " with the comps. The comp decreases the energy sent back into the action. So the gun can jam unless the spring power is reduced to compensate for the lower amount of recoil.
