The Battle Arms Development Xiphos (brand part no. XIPHOS-SET-BLK) is a 9mm Luger AR-pattern lower receiver engineered to accept Glock-pattern magazines, giving builders access to widely available, inexpensive Glock mags on an AR-platform pistol-caliber carbine. Machined from aluminum and finished in black anodize, it swaps the standard AR magazine well geometry for Glock magazine compatibility while keeping the familiar AR trigger group and controls. It’s a popular choice among PCC builders who already have a stock of Glock magazines on hand and want to reuse them rather than buy dedicated AR-9 mags.
