Intended Use

Too cool! A “Takedown Rifle” that uses Glock Mags! Uses AR15 Type buttstocks & pistol grips. Looks pretty good too!

Effective Range

Maximum effective range could be as far out as 150 Yds. But realistic operational range on this rifle is between, 15 – 75 Yds. I use it on the range most often at 25 or 50 Yds.

Semi-Auto, Magazine Fed, Takedown, 9mm, Survival Rifle.

Barrel Shroud & Takedown Adapter

This rifle is a “Takedown”. As sold it has no forward barrel shroud but any shroud for an AR15 can be added with the addition of the adapter.

Trigger

This rifle has a simple, single stage, Non-Adjustable trigger.

Stock

Factory supplied with telescopic buttstock & AR15 type Grip.

Buttplate

This rifle is designed from the ground up to be fitted with AR15 Type Buttstocks which are very common.

Sights

This rifle was sold by the factory with NO sights! I installed a set of removable iron sights as well as a good quality Red Dot Sight.

Optics

I have a Vortex, Crossfire, Red Dot Sight with optional Riser installed on this for general use.

Accessories

Sling

The current buttstock has QD Sling attachment points on it.

This rifle is kind of difficult to find a good sling for due to it’s design. It needs something though. It’s too heavy for a single point sling so maybe I’ll just stick to a simple sling.

Light

The barrel shroud can easily be fitted with rails in many locations so any light that can be mounted can be placed wherever it is needed. I have a “Safariland RLS” which can be seen elsewhere on this site.

Optics

This rifle is sold without optics or sights. Both of them must be added by the user.

Ammunition Handling

I have a full ammo belt that I can load up with a bunch of magazines for range shooting. I also have a small “Dump Pouch” to drop all the empty mags into.

What would I Change?

I’d like to change out the buttstock and the pistol grip for something a little different. I’m just not sure what to go with yet.

Ammunition

Standard 9mm ammo.

Shooting Results

Factory Ammunition

I have tested this Rifle with 115 gr., 124 gr. & 147 gr. Ammo and it all worked flawlessly.

What’s Next?

This rifle has many options as far as handloading. My plan is to focus on “Casting” some proper 9mm bullets for it and then I’ll start on handloading some ammo for it.
