Works

I think my kit was missing the channel liner. This was my first assembly so I might have missed it and lost it, but I really think it was missing. The firing pin safety plunger has a different shape (rounder) than OEM which might be causing occasional difficulty putting the slide on the frame. It fires quite well with Sellier & Bellot and CCI 115 grain rounds. No other issues so far with minimal testing. I will update if it has trouble.

Missing a part, but Brownells came thru

Parts bag came sealed from Lone Wolf missing the firing pin safety. Brownells sent a replacement safety the next day! The remaining parts all worked appropriately, though the channel sleeve was a touch tight. A good price for the parts you get, just to get that pistol going.

Nice to have all parts needed

I bought this kit in March 2016 so that I'd have all the parts and pieces in hand once I finally bought a Lone Wolf G22 Slide. I could have bought the parts individually a little cheaper (brownells Edge member), but most of the time one or more of these parts are on back order, so it's nice to have a single bag that has all the parts I need. The good: * The parts are high quality, * The plastics are different color than OEM so you can easily tell which gun has which parts in it, * Marine Cups (which Glock doesn't sell to civilians), * Mid-weight striker. The bad: My kit was missing the firing pin safety spring. I poured all the parts in an empty small plastic tote so that I wouldn't lose any. When I got to installing the Firing Pin Safety in the slide, I noticed I was out of springs. Luckily I had spares from a Wolff Spring Kit for Glock, so I could complete my build. It's not worth fixing this issue with Brownells or Lone Wolf, but if you buy one of these, check it before your build to make sure you got 100% of the parts you paid for. This is the reason I've only given this 4 stars. I would have definitely rated it 5 stars had the spring been included.
