The Glock Carbine has been one of the worst kept secrets in small arms and everyone keeps wondering when they are going to finally release it to the public.
Our friends at Spartanat believe it’s going to happen and have released a video about it.

We know, we know.
It’ll be plastic.
It’ll be “perfect”.
It will have a strong fan base that loves everything about it but that spurns a greater aftermarket for “improvements” than the original VW Bug.
Wow! How incredibly cynical of you! If I was as miserable as you sound, I don’t think I couch bare it!
His assessment is very accurate. I don’t see it as cynical.
Haters gonna hate, I take it? Sounds petty
Found the Glock fanboy
I have no idea what a fanboy is but I am a fan of innovation and new designs. Did you even watch the video? Yeah, thought so. Read the other posts here including mine. Go choke yourself chik’n boy! 😉
Nein! Karabiner ist güt!
Deutsche (Österreicher sind kulturdeutsch) müssen kontinuierlich verbessert werden. Nichts ist jemals „fein“.
Oh wow! Glock might make a rifle, wow! so revolutionary! wow! obviously Im worse at faking it than a 25 dollar female rental unit in Vegas. If their rifle performs as poorly as their Glock 44 .22LR can we just put a nail in the brand finally?
The other top Handgun manufacturers also produce a wide selection of industry leading firearms so why Glock never expanded their “Perfection” to other sectors is beyond me…unless they never were “perfect” to begin with. Sig Sauer is taking over the LE/ Military market with Handguns, rifles, optics, ammunition etc after previously only really being well known for supplying the Militay and police with the Sig P226 here in America. I for one won’t be sad to see Glock go the same way as Colt…being bought by CZ.
You have a very low level of information.
As do the majority of us reading this article. Please enlighten us with your insider knowledge there Davy Crockett.
Davy, I find it funny that No. 10 mentions Sig, which for decades was just a pistol maker as well, supplied NSW and various US Federal agencies, had a good rep and following and then in early-late 2000’s got into the AR/rifle business. I don’t think No. 10 see’s the irony in his comment.
It’s an interesting quandary, the vehement anti-Glockers seem so angry like Glock did something to them or they bought one, hated it but were so butt hurt they go out of their way to trash Glock years after it let them down. Kinda reminds me of atheists, they are so mad or upset people have a religion or God and go out of their way to create their own “religion” of anti-belief. Hmmm, I wonder if there is a connection???
I probably should not get involved in this but here goes anyway. I have no dog in this fight at all, and use both SIg and Glock. Having said that, I’m pretty sure that Sig was a rifle maker from way back when. Yes, only the pistols were civilian available for a while, but the 550 series of rifles were possibly the best in the world, long before the AR grew up to be a great rifle. Again, not siding with anyone here, I certainly don’t care who hates or loves Glock or Sig or anyone else. Mostly, they are just tools to me, and each have strengths and weaknesses.
Prior to Sauer and Sohn and SIG Arms, they both produced handguns and rifles.
Show me where the evil Glock touched you.
These are just patents. Glock knows full well that a rifle would have to compete with the most successful design there is, the AR15, which is why it is likely that these patents never go anywhere. Despite that, why is everyone so assblasted they filed some patents? Because you can’t stand another competitor in the rifle market? There is literally nothing to shit on yet you try so hard to find something.
I for one welcome every other entry to the firearms market, even if it is nothing groundbreaking. If it fails, it fails.
Finally someone on here that isn’t sucking off the nearest Glock or burning one in effigy. It will either be a good rifle or not. Who cares? Too many fudds, haters and groupies on this thread.
I’m willing to bet good money that many of Glock’s biggest sh*t-talkers have little to no trigger time with one; much less any meaningful operation and maintenance experience.
Glock didn’t become the most widely issued police and military sidearm in the world by being awful.
I can’t speak for the rest of the sh*t talkers you speak of but for myself I carry a Glock 26 and 17 Gen 5, have put thousands of rounds through them, have changed out almost every part on my 17, stippled it, undercut the trigger guard etc and consider my $400 CZ-P10F to be a superior weapon out of the box, so there’s that.
Sh*t talkers like me are usually silly stating the fact that Glock did little to nothing to improve the platform since 1982 and shows by re-releasing their first pistol as the P80. Meanwhile ZEV, Shadow Systems, Polymer 80 etc have bested Glock at their own game.
My pont is: Innovate or die
Bro? You carry a 26 and 17, that you have modified the way you like it then speak of a CZ that in your opinion is perfect? You also either credit ZEV and other after market companies as besting the Glock. I’m am throughly confused? You carry one, but bash it. You put after market Glock companies on a pedestal, for making it better but bash Glock? Are you schizophrenic? Has it ever occurred to you that Glock is as basic as it is so the end user can personalize or modify it to the way they like, which may of been an after thought but is an industry all its’ own??? For a company that never innovates they sure are not losing anything.
Yeah, I got nothing in response to that. Dude is all over the place with this scatterbrained logic.
I’m still waiting on the Glock 1911.
this right here is the best comment of anyone on this website
Does it take Glock mags?!?!
As they say in Missouri, “Show me.”
I’m just here to observe that piston/pushrod is the future and DI/Direct Gas is waning.
Glock carbine/FN SCAR/HK 416/ Sig MCX and 516/PWS > Direct Impingement
I don’t think that’s how things have played out thus far as far as mil procurement goes. They’re both pretty reliable systems and a good DI vs a good piston system have fairly similar MTBF. Piston means extra complexity and extra weight as a tradeoff for a better experience suppressed. I’ve heard that piston lasts longer between cleanings but I don’t have empirical evidence for that and I clean my stuff frequently enough it’s a nonissue for my very nondemanding use case.
Mil procurement will have to adapt if the world begins to flood with a new baseline of accurate piston systems.
Just look at the Corps. All grunts are rocking HK IARs. Piston is the future and this is coming from a man with 0 piston rifles.
I mean, the AR-15 IS a piston rifle. It just uses gas from the round instead of a physical operating rod. “Direct impingement” was just Stoner’s way of securing a patent.
Piston is only “the future” because it’s a fad and the military enjoys it’s fads, not that it’s proven superior.
Piston driven carbines, rifles, and MGs have been around a LONG time- at least 60 years- and most if not all of the newer viable designs utilize pistons and not DI- so it’s definitely NOT a fad.
The U.S. government has done enough dust tests to show that good piston systems are more durable than good DI systems.
Pistons also perform better when suppressed.
Piston based carbines and rifles are here to stay and gaining ground against Di.
I should’ve said “…More RELIABLE than good Di systems in very dusty conditions”.
Guess the FAL and ak are fads as well as all the rifles derived from them………….
Funny, as soon as the HK 416 contract ended, Devgru chose a DI Noveske. Some sources cite issues with the gas piston system causing upper receiver cracking with high round counts.
Meanwhile SOCOM is down selecting a 6.5 creedmoor Mid-Range Gas Gun to replace the FN MK20, and it’s rumored that the Larue DI submission has won the contract.
I know about the Noveske DI’s DevGru has procured but I’m in he dark on the LaRue rumor. I know the MK20 was a complete waste of $$ and everything, I just was under the belief Mark LaRue never wanted to commit to Mil production vs production for us civies?
