design cue: the glockbox

​In the hopes of triggering the birth of new products on the market, here at the AFD office we sometimes brainstorm new concepts over lunch, then rough-up some sketches on the computer afterward to illustrate what we were all talking about. We don’t actually have the venture capital to produce them so we will start throwing these “concepts” out there in the hopes that a manufacturing facility will take a cue and put the thing into production. 

Todays brainfart was an idea for a polymer drop-in bullpup SBR stock for your Glock 17 that we dubbed the GLOCKBOX (switchable internal components would allow for the various Glock models). We thought this would be a nifty gadget with a huge market among the Military, LEO and Contractor demographics as well as for civilians with their SBR tax stamp. It’d make the stock Glock instantly more accurate whilst providing a place to stash a spare loaded mag. A picatinny rail along the top would allow for the addition of optics and a sling loop/mount would provide unit retention and security. Obviously there are few conversion units on the market already but you can never have too many options considering each has it’s own shortcomings. Also, with the current interest in the bullpup format this would be a timely accessory. 

So here’s the deal - feel free to use this (or any) idea we knock out, exactly as described and without fear of copyright infringement - in exchange for 1)free finished-product samples, 2)running ads on the AFD and 3) throwing us a bone when you hit your first million. Thereby that’ll keep us brainstorming, up and running, lights on, coffee in the pot and beers on Friday! ED
