If the Gladius and the Non-Typical had a love child, this would be it. I'm essentially trying to bridge the gap (no pun intended) between the two, as I looked hard at both and decided what I really wanted was in between. GAP can't stray much from either design and still call it one or the other (the receivers are stamped), so this winds up being a custom build for that reason. I could probably chop the barrel on the nontypical and upgrade the stock and action, but I couldn't also increase its barrel contour. We're getting at the same end state.
