PMag style with metal reinforced lips might be a game changer.  Then again, if PMags are the "best", why  not just use them?

[#15]
My bottom line on a Glock AR is that it's totally unnecessary and wastes manufacturing capacity best suited to something else UNLESS:

The rocket scientists at Glock put pen to paper and re-engineer some things "the Glock way."

1.  Redesign bolt to minimize breakage, especially at the cam pin hole and bolt lugs
2.  Make a genuine, drop-in free float handguard by re-engineering the delta ring and front end cap
3.  Produce a high quality, bullet proof back up iron sight
4.  Make the barrel/flash hider suppressor ready moreso than a standard A2 hider/barrel combo.
5.  Engineer a high quality lightweight barrel less prone to barrel whip and loss of accuracy when heated up (I know this ain't a big thing as per
    an older MrGunsngear video but we're talking fine tuning  here).
6.  Maybe at long last, a durable polymer upper and lower with steel inserts where appropriate that can stand up to the pounding of a rilfle cartridge.

Anything else less than genuine innovations is "just another AR" that we don't need.

If I think of anything else I'll edit this post.

Bundling ARs with replacement pistols for every Agency that already uses their pistols.

If the agency doesn't use Glock pistols there is a decent chance they will in the future, having AR platform rifles give Glock another tool in their sales tool box.
Lost leaders, replace the agency whole armor in one purchase, I'm sure there's more.

I give them credit for what they accomplished originally. They went balls deep into securing every law enforcement contract they could as well. But at some point time catches up. Adapt or die. Plenty of other companies adapted and took a bite out of glock sales. If the ar15 is glock I just don’t see the excitement. If they gave it a side folder and some cosmetic change to stand out from the ten million other ar15 rifles being sold by everyone and their mother it could be something. I’m more curious if this is an actual announcement from glock or are they working on something else?

They continue to do one very smart thing: they sell mags at (in some cases) 1/2 the price of their competitors. A Sig P320 may cost the same as a G19, but kit them both out with 6 spare mags and the Glock wins the bid every time. And the G17 or G19 mag is likely one of the top 10 barter items around for gun people.

Yes, various types from Diemaco, HK, LMT, and possibly a few others.

The British military had some in limited service prior to it being adopted by the U.S military. I think they bought them for jungle warfare during the Malaysian Emergency.

The Royal Marines pushed hard to adopt the M16 in the 1980s, during the early introduction of the SA80. They ended up with compact HK33 variants for special troops.

My money is on LMT or Diemaco winning new contracts. British mil and police are very fond of LMT products and have bought various models in various calibres.

Someone posted a bunch of patents Glock had filed for.  I believe at least some were an AR15 bolt design but can't remember the rest.

Either way, they'll sell if they ever bring them to market.  People said Springfield was late to the party also, but they still sold a bazillion Saints.

Word is they went to Anderson to obtain the basic parts along with some special 'glock features' machined into the upper/lower. Word is Gaston's wife likes the pony.

I'm done with the AR-15.  Why not make a rifle in a more powerful cartridge that actually addresses some of the issues of the platform?  I have enough AR, I want something in a larger caliber, not .308, that isn't an AR-15.  Glock as usual didn't do what I want and they should be ashamed of that.
