When did Glock start making rifles?

When did Glock start making rifles?

i know you can get aftermarket parts to build carbines on Glock frames?

on a related note, i just finished reading "GLOCK, the Rise of America's Gun", by Paul M. Barrett. a fascinating look at the history of how a guy who'd never built a pistol less than forty years ago came to dominate the world's handgun market. highly recommended.

When did Glock start making rifles?

I was wondering the same!

 

[graniteguy52]

It's a misprint - it should read "Best Engraved Modern Firearm".

 

[FANCYGUN]

And your Glock looked fantastic Gordon you deserved this award

 

[graniteguy52]

Thank you Marty.
There was so much fantastic work there at FEGA, (including your wonderful rifles), the eyes just didn't know where to look first!

 

[Mike Fennell]

Gordon is correct. My error: It should have been Best Engraved Modern Firearm.

 

[Mike Fennell]

surely looking forward to see all those entries.

I will post Sam Welch's excellent photos when I receive them and have added captions to them, sometime this week.
