There is a greater than 50% chance I would slap that long barrel in an optics ready slide and rock it with those huge magazines.
Seriously though, if they make this with an 8+ inch barrel I’m going to get SEVERAL. My LC charger will be up for sale so fast ruger will be wondering if anyone saw the truck.
That looks remarkably similar to the AK-V clamp ons that that take you to 50 and yes they work with zero hiccups. My feeling is they are very close with this one. 50 would be right there with the AR57 minus the bottom drop and made in America.
8-9" barrel would be sufficient. Ample room for devices and a good grip too. I personally think mag compatibility should be the extent of most commonality between it and the rock. Throwing it in a chassis while retaining all of the other bits of the Rock just doesn’t seem worth it to me.
True I wouldn’t expect the Concept to be the final product. I’m just spitballing at how the PMR-30 to CMR-30 was done, as well as the Ruger57 to Ruger LC/Charger.
