Angstadt Jack 9MM

The Angstadt Jack is a compact, lightweight 9mm AR-15 short barrel rifle. It accepts 9mm double stack GLOCK® magazine and features last round bolt hold open.

The inspiration behind the Angstadt Jack 9 pistol came from the Jack 9 lower that was developed by Sharps Bros. As you can see, a skull is basically carved out of the front portion of the lower receiver. In fact, the magazine is inserted into a beveled well that is shaped to be the skull’s mouth and teeth. For those who like that type of thing, it’s a grim design that lets others know you’re serious about your work.

The Jack 9 lower receiver was originally designed for 5.56mm and 7.62mm ARs; the design was so well received that Angstadt Arms approached Sharps Bros. about making some for its pistol-caliber carbines. Once the deal was agreed upon, Angstadt provided the specs for its lower receivers. Sharps Bros. then constructed the receivers according to those specs while working in the Jack sculpting process. The end result is a fierce little receiver that has the same menacing profile as its larger counterparts.

The basic lower receivers produced by Sharps Bros. are constructed from 7075-T6 aluminum and sport a Type III hardcoat anodizing. The receivers are also designed so that the bolt will lock back after the last round is fired, and Sharps states that they’ll work with other 9mm uppers, though right now they’re currently only available through Angstadt Arms.
