Upgrade or build your Glock 17 with a factory-spec Glock 17 Gen 5 BFG OEM Frame — the foundational lower receiver engineered to deliver trusted Glock handling, durability, and reliability. This frame accepts all proper Gen 5 Glock 17 components, whether completing a new build or refreshing a worn lower.
