Endo Tactical Stock AdapterIt allows any AR15 stock (Magpul, etc) to be used with your Glock. Unfortunately, one has to jump through federal and possibly state hoops to do so. This is not a short winded process. Passport quality photos, multiple sets of finger prints, State approval, Federal approval and the privilege of paying $200 for a "tax stamp" which must be carried at all times with the weapon and not removed from one's state of residency. I have posed a number of questions to the Endo Tactical folks to find out what the correct process is (to avoid "imperial entanglements") and am awaiting their reply. (The Kel-Tec SUB 2000 or a SU-16CA are much simpler solutions.)

Basically, you're registering your Glock handgun as a Short Barreled Rifle (SBR) with the ATF through a Form 1 to do this.

Forgive my ignorance for asking this... but what is the point of adding a stock to a Glock pistol? To turn it into a submachine gun sized weapon? Is there a real benefit to this...?

Accuracy might be improved. However, here are some reasons why I wouldn't bother: 1.The maneuverability of the HG suffers. 2. It's awkward to carry. It must be borne as a rifle. 3. Lacks the accuracy and power of a rifle. 4. 6-9 months of hassles to jump through state and federal hoops: mug shots, prints, trips down town... 5. Cost: $150+$150+$200+$25=$525 (or thereabouts) just to convert a perfectly good HG into a short barreled rifle. I'd rather have an SU-16C. (All three parts...finally.)

I've always wondered something...
Is it still required to make it a registered NFA weapon if I take a pistol and convert it to a 16" barreled carbine?
Pistol + stock = NFA
Pistol + stock + 16" barrel = legal?
I've seen stock adapters and 16" barrels for a 1911 as well as 1-piece kits where you simply attach it to your frame in place of the slide. I'm not exactly bent on spending the money to DO this, since it's pretty much pointless, but it's been an interesting possibility.

I believe it is, because Beretta essentially did just that with their Neos .22lr pistol: They showed it off during the most recent Shot Show and were talking about how the kit to convert existing Neos would be available; Nutnfancy covered it in his Shot Show videos, so they didn't go into a whole lot of details or the legalities (or they may have and I just don't remember), but I believe they said it was for the civilian market, so I don't think they'd intentionally release something you had to jump through hoops to get. I could be wrong, though.
