Magpul FMG9 Glock conversion?

[Bob the Angry Potato]

I know it can't be replicated completely without butchering the Glock to bits, but I've got a bit of a project going for my KSC Glock 26C-

No, it won't be green, I just wanted a contrasting colour.

This is a very, very basic 5-minute mockup, more detailed stuff will come up later.
Any ideas for the schematics and whatnot? I'd like this to go as smoothly as possible, yet don't have the best technical know-how- however, I do have access to materials and a fairly kind fellow that's willing to do ABS molds of the shells.

good luck keep us posted on you work,
cant wait to see the finished product

This would most likely be best with a TM glock AEP... You won't have to compensate for the room for the blow back.

That's true, but you lose the 'cool' factor, unfortunately- that's what I like about GBBs, I love my AEP but it's just incredibly... lame in terms of function. AEGs are necessities, but this is going to be more a show-off piece of kit then a functioning weapon.
Thanks, though- it's quite a good idea.

for the top rail i would say used a g36c rail.

edit= its a bit long though

That's why it has to use short mags. This is a kit, and the Glock's intended to be able to be taken out of the gun if need be- so there's no way to compensate for that other then making the stock larger then it can be top-to-bottom, and the Glock can't take extended mags until it's opened.

looks like it will be sweet, i cant wait for the resulting pictures

Doing a mockup of the front section-
Anyone have any ideas on how to get the stock to fold out? I have the catch worked out, but I don't know many ideas on how to get the entire damn stock to fold around and lock. The locking mechanism, I know far more about it than the spring and the auto-folding mechanism.

Hahaha, sure thing- this project is going to take at LEAST a few months to do, though. I need to get everything 100% first.



Here's the torsion spring idea? Gotta find a mechanism to hold it.
