Angstadt 0940 Receiver Set for Glock

Product Description

The Angstadt 0940 Receiver Set for Glock is a serialized upper and lower receiver combination designed to accept Glock-pattern magazines in a pistol-caliber AR-style platform. This receiver set serves as the foundation for building a 9mm pistol or carbine around Glock magazine compatibility.

The 0940 series from Angstadt Arms bridges AR ergonomics with Glock magazine reliability. Builders choose this platform when they want to use their existing Glock mag inventory in a carbine or pistol format.

Because this is a serialized item, the lower receiver is the firearm and must be transferred through an FFL.

What the 0940 Receiver Set Is For

The Angstadt 0940 receiver set is built around Glock magazine compatibility, which matters if you already own Glock mags or prefer their availability and aftermarket support. Pistol-caliber platforms in 9mm offer lower recoil and reduced cost per round compared to rifle-caliber ARs.

This receiver set requires a bolt carrier group, barrel, handguard, buffer system, and lower parts kit to complete. It’s sold as a stripped lower receiver set, meaning you supply or source the remaining components.

Builders often choose Glock-compatible receivers for home defense builds, suppressor hosts, and competition carbines where 9mm is classed separately from rifle calibers.

Glock Magazine vs. Colt-Style Magwells

Pistol-caliber AR platforms divide into two camps: Glock mag-fed and Colt-style mag-fed. The Angstadt 0940 uses the Glock pattern, which offers a wider selection of aftermarket magazines, including extended-capacity options and drums.

Glock mags also feed more reliably with certain hollow-point loads compared to older Colt-pattern stick mags. If you run a Glock pistol as your sidearm, the 0940 lets you carry one magazine type for both guns.

Building on a Serialized Receiver Set

The lower receiver in this set is the serialized firearm under federal law. You’ll need to complete a Form 4473 and pass a NICS background check to take possession. Once transferred, you can assemble the upper and lower with the components you choose.

Because the upper receiver is not serialized, it can ship to your door in many states. The set is sold together, and both pieces transfer as one firearm. Send us a message if you have questions about Texas transfer requirements or build timelines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the Angstadt 0940 receiver set work with all Glock magazines?

A: The 0940 is designed to accept Glock-pattern magazines, which includes OEM Glock mags and most aftermarket copies.

Q: Is the Angstadt 0940 a complete firearm or just the receivers?

A: This is a receiver set only. You will need to source a bolt carrier group, barrel, handguard, buffer assembly, lower parts kit, and stock or brace separately to complete the build.

Q: Can I use the Angstadt 0940 receiver set for a pistol build or a rifle build?

A: Yes, depending on how you configure it. Adding a stock and a barrel longer than sixteen inches makes it a rifle. Adding a pistol brace and a barrel shorter than sixteen inches makes it a pistol under federal law. Be certain of your configuration before assembly.

Q: What caliber is the Angstadt 0940 receiver set chambered for?

A: The receiver set itself is not chambered; the barrel determines caliber. Most builders use 9mm barrels with Glock-compatible receivers, though other Glock-pattern calibers exist. Send us a message to confirm barrel and bolt compatibility before ordering parts.

Q: How do I transfer a serialized receiver set in Texas?

A: You’ll complete a Form 4473 at Western Sport and pass a NICS background check. Texas residents may pick up after approval. Non-residents must have the lower transferred to an FFL in their home state.

Q: Who should consider the Angstadt 0940 over a standard AR-15 lower?

A: Shooters who want a pistol-caliber carbine or pistol that uses Glock magazines benefit most. This platform suits suppressor use, indoor ranges with caliber restrictions, and situations where you already stock Glock mags and want to consolidate your magazine inventory.
