For the Glock Freaks amongst us.....an AR??

[JohnnyMac]

Could the Glock AR-15 really be a thing. The guy is this video seems to think so...

Intriguing........ for sure. If it IS true, how is it they've been able to go under the radar to the point of an actual prototype(?)




I already want one! That rail and barrel setup is sexy!

 

[Stomper]

Let's see…. make your own in-house front rail, paint it diarrhea greenish, stamp a "G" on it,… and the AR platform is "perfected"! I'll bet people will still complain about the grip-angle.

 

[Yarome]

I'm not especially a "glock freak", but having a solid alignment fit (vs. itty bitty alignment tabs, at best) quick release hanguard is a long time wish for me. Cleaning and maintanence is one advantage, but having more than one and being able to swap configurations without the hassle of inividual component swapping would sure be nice. IE., A hunting and tactical/defense setup.

Native ambi controls ain't too shabby either. Aftermarket is doable, but a bit clumsy compared to what that rifle is showing. Pretty streamline and sexy.

You can repaint it any color your want.

Like most things though it's probably wiser to wait for version 2.0 after they work out the quirks.

I pack a G21 and am actively seeking a G19, but don't consider myself a Glock "freak". What, now Glock is going to come out with yet another AR-15 iteration?? They're getting on the bandwagon a bit late! An attempt to appeal to the mass-market of AR's in the US market. It will no doubt appeal to Glocksters here in the States, but who needs yet another AR-15 clone? If it ain't COLT, it ain't. Just sayin...

I mean, they did release a 1911.

 

[Yarome]

At least this one is real...

Any standard default complaints about the grip angle?

Frame safety and no trigger blade. I call hoax.

 

[Glizzy Goblin]

Mom: But we already have a Glock AR @ home.

 

[TTSX]

I'd probably buy one. I mean, yes, it's just an AR but it's a GLOCK AR.

 

[solv3nt]

I'd probably buy one. I mean, yes, it's just an AR but it's a GLOCK AR.

It's probably plastic.

 

[TTSX]

It's probably plastic.

But it's GLOCK plastic...

I don't understand why this would be a big deal to anyone but Glock fanboys. The Glock pistol was pretty revolutionary when it came out but this looks like an AR with some small innovations.

But because there are millions of glock fanboys out there they would probably sell a gazillion of them if they sell a civilian version in the USA I would guess. There are already so many different ARs out there and so many ways to customize ur own I don't see any game changing innovations here. But I'm no AR expert.

 

[Boboclown]

That sure does look like an AR-15.

 

[3MTA3]

That sure does look like an AR-15.

Wait until they really shake things up with a Glock-47

As a bonafide "Glock fanboy" and certified AR armorer I'd ask what does this Glock AR bring to the table that proven quality AR companies like BCM, SOLGW, SIONICS, etc do not?

Just another company trying to cash in on the very crowded AR market, I guess time will tell whether they are crap like so many others or not, but I won't be running out and buying one. Personally I think they should have come out with a PCC versions to go with their pistols.

No bayonet version of this. Missing the boat there, Gaston.

I do own one 'Store bought' AR-15 (Daniel Defense DDM4 old Ver 3) and one AR-10 (Armalite), but Most that I have are assembled components, what I prefer. I do like the new Stag's with their Wyoming rollmark, and the innovative Ruger Small Frame AR-10, I won't discount the Glock idea, but it has to be in production.

 

[CountryGent]

Didn't click. However, a couple points instantly spring to mind:

• The "Glock is a'com'n out with a carbine!" shtick has been going on for decades. Maybe this is finally it, but the claim isn't new.
• What would a Glock AR do demonstrably better than the roughly four billion other offerings for such pattern rifles? Maybe there is a there there. Or not.

As to the question if I'd buy one, there is zero chance of that.
