For those interested in jumping into the ATF eForms Form 1 world, a tax stamp for making your T36C pistol into a rifle is just $200 and maybe two weeks away.

IN FROM BROWNELLS: Tommy Built T36C – H&K G36 Look-A-Like

A Compact Copy of the Popular G36

Getting an actual, semi-auto G36 in the United States may not be an option, but thanks to Tommy Built Tactical, you can get pretty close to it, thanks to the company’s T36C Pistol.

Each Tommy Built Tactical T36CP Pistol is chambered in 5.56 NATO and is tuned to cycle these hotter loads, so it may not function with .223 Remington or steel-cased loads. Each rifle feeds from G36 P-mags and are compatible with the company’s pistol-stabilizing braces.

Made to the same specifications as the H&K G36, the T36CP features a Picatinny rail, ambidextrous fire controls and charging handle and is compatible with most G36 parts and accessories.

• Barrel length: 9 inches
• Overall length: 19.7 inches
• Weight: 5.8 pounds
• Ships with one 30-round magazine

For those looking to add a suppressor to the Tommy Built Tactical T36CP Pistol, be warned that the handguard design requires the use of specific G36C quick-detach mounts. Also, increased back pressure can possibly damage the tuned gas system on the G36.
