I"m looking for a carbine that takes Glock mags, specifically in 40cal. I know Oly makes an AR configuration that takes Glock mags, but that's a bit more than I want to pay for what will amount to little more than a toy for me. Same goes for the conversions like RONI, Mechtech, HERA, all a bit more than I want to spend. (at least I hear RONI and HERA make a 16" brl model, though I've not seen them) I wish HiPoint's carbine would take Glock mags, price on them is great, and I'm just looking for a plinker toy. Than there's Kel Tec's Sub2000, which seems to be my only option. Not that there is a problem with it, just wondering if there is some other option out there that I am not aware of.
Oly removed their glock lowers from their website. No longer making them, I understand. There is Thureon Defense as well that makes a glock mag carbine. Lone Wolf makes AR's that use Glock mags. It *should* be useable with the Rock River .40 Cal uppers. I have not seen one yet to verify, but I think it *should* work. MGI makes 10mm and 45 ACP lowers that use modular mag wells from the GLock Pistols. And of course the KRISS Super V also uses Glock 21 Mags. Kel Tec as you've already pointed out. Of the options you have, the Kel-Tec is probably the least expensive.
I have a Kriss Super V and love it. The next Gen of Kriss (K10) will have .40 and 9mm versions. Here was one that wasn't mentioned and seems cheap and interesting. http://shop.justrightcarbines.com/main.sc The refurbished ones look good still and are cheaper. No idea in quality I am still looking into it myself for the future.
Thanks for the replies all. All those listed are nice, but alittle too nice $ BTW, Oly still shows the complete ARs that use Glock mags http://olyarms.net/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=24&Itemid=5
