Some Glock questions.

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Some Glock questions.

Posted: 9/23/2004 1:19:28 PM EDT

First off, its now a-ok to have like a 32 round magazine right? (Not sure seeing its a pistol and not a AW).

Second, can any type of foregrip or handle be attached to the front legaly? What about a 16inch barrel?

Lastly anyone make .22 conversion kits for Glocks?

Sorry for the Nub question, I know jack about Glocks.

Oh, forgot, and the stupidest question, are Glock 18's avalible to Civies?

Everything you are asking is legal, except that you can't get a Glock 18 unless there is a legally transferrable one (made before 1986) - and if so it will be expensive. I have no idea where you are going to get a 16" barrel, but glockmeister.com has .22 conversion kits.

The 32 rd mag was ALWAYS legal to own by Federal Law. The Ban only made mfgrs ship NIB guns with 10rd mags & required aftermarket mag owners to sell NIB mags after a certain date of mfg. Other than that, I think pistols were unaffected by the Ban.

W/o attaching a stock to it as well? Maybe w/o the stock but a no-no with both.[red/]

What about a 16inch barrel?
I've never seen nor heard of such animal. I gues if you had $2K or so you have one made somewhere.

Horroundisly expensive, IF you can ever find one. I saw one shoot at Knob Creek once. Quite different, IMO.

Not sure, but wouldn't putting a forward grip on a glock, onto the light rail, make it an AOW? Subject to NFA methinks...

Fellas? What do you say??

That is what I was wondering, but then there are Tec-9s and the like which might as well have a foregrip thanks to the barrel shroud and magazine, or the Mac-10 (Cobrey) with that cloth strap loop thing clipped to the front of it.

Here is a neet device on ebay. Its a clip that you put on your magazines, you then can clip the mag upside down on the front rail... a semi-legal foregrip.
$30 a pop.

There are 16" barrels, they are sold with that stock above to make it legal, which that gun isn't if it's not properly registered. I think a foregrip is a foregrip, whether it's a knights foregrip, a magazine or the end of a broom handle.

Obviously Bob once again answered everything else

So did we decide the foregrip is an AOW or what???

A forward vertical grip on a pistol makes it an AOW. Nothing "semi" about it.

In order to use a stock or a forward pistol grip legally, without NFA registration, you must FIRST install a 16+" barrel in the pistol. THEN the stock and FVG can be installed.
