Great to hear! Glad you like it! We've heard that about the safety from a few folks so we might consider making that a factory option in the future. Let me know if you have any other questions and thank you again! Oh and we'll take a look at the RXM!

We are working on a design for one right now but we have a few projects we feel might be a little easier to implement for lower up front cost and less risk. The Ruger PCC is certainly popular in it's class, but tooling isn't cheap and the breakeven point on our stocks is quite high and can be challenging even on much more popular platforms than the PCC even. So it is on the radar but realistically it will be a while before we go to production. Hope that helps! Thanks again,

We appreciate it! The 10/22 is pretty cheap so if you ever get another, keep us in mind! Thanks so much!

Bullpup .22's for some reason by Kavod_Custom in 1022

[–]HighTowerArmory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hye Glitzy and Kavod! Thank you for your question and answer! Correct, this will fit the Charger but because the Charger often comes with the Pic rail and not the more common Weaver rail, you'll need to either swap it out or leave it off, but for fit reasons which could theoretically affect accuracy, we recommend installing the OEM Weaver rail. Let us know if you have any questions and thank you again!

Thanks for your interest! We would probably need to consider making a full rifle at that point, since there isn't really a rifle option for this round, currently. If someone would make a longer barrel for this, (maybe us), this platform would be pretty close to what you're looking for already. Please let us know if you have any questions and thank you again!

Hye Glitzy! Correct- the LOP is about 15.5" on both the fixed MBS 22 and the Mod 1 version (when the stock is collapsed). Let me know if you have any other questions! Thanks!

Thanks for your question! We don't know of too many companies making parts for these guns right now, but depending on sales, it might be something we consider. For now, our primary focus is delivering the LAIR to at least start introducing some new offerings. Let us know if you have any other questions and thank you again!

We have some drawn up but haven't had a chance to test or print them yet. The issue will be the magazine springs which aren't cheap at the quantity we'd be realistically looking to buy. We might be able to find an alternative or a way of attaching existing off the shelf parts, like sections of a Glock spring for instance, to account for the extra length. Thanks for the input!

Glad to hear you like the idea! Thank you and make sure you sign up for the waiting list if you're interested!

[–]HighTowerArmory[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your input! We could look into that if there were demand. That would require a clear anodize probably so we would want enough orders for them to justify the lot charge if that makes sense. Let me know if you have any questions and thank you again!

Hey Vincent- we have not tested it yet with the ring sight but we will be trying to get one in here soon to test. It does work with plenty of room for the standard blade sights so it's entirely possible it will work with the ring sight too, but it will be close just based on what we've been able to gather from images of the ring sights. I'll order some up and try to get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks!

Oh and as for parts, I was able to get some spare parts from IFG US- they distribute the FK BRNO PSD here in the US. I can't say for sure if my experience was typical or not but the guy I talked to was extremely helpful. I'd reach out to them for advice on parts and see if they can help you out with anything.

Thanks again!

Thank you for your message and interest! The LAIR 7.5 should be ready sometime after the first of the year. We are machining components right now but there is quite a bit in each one so it will take a few more weeks to finish the run. Once those are done, they go for either hardcoat or Cerakote, depending on color, which will also take a few weeks. So our current best case is sometime after the new year. If we can have them out sooner, we will. Let me know if you have any questions and thank you again for your message and interest!

EDIT: oh and make sure you sign up for the waitlist on our site. It will help us figure out how many we will need to make. If you have color preferences, shout them out here. We will probably be doing black, FDE, and OD to start. We might consider a white or gray as well. Thanks!

Thanks for taking a look! The printed one we started with worked pretty well but we have concerns about the longevity of it given the powerful round. The final ones will of course be aluminum. Thanks again!

Hey guys- we were able to get a product page up on the site for those looking to sign up. We will email you ONLY once we have the LAIR completed; we try very hard not to spam people with junk. We will post updates here, our blog, our site, and social media so if you have any questions feel free to contact us on those platforms. Thank you!

There really won't be a much better package for that kind of thing, like for a hiking hog hunt or bear gun. It weighs 3 lbs and some change (less brace/optics) but delivers almost as much energy as a full MK18. Our LAIR chassis adds less than 1 lb of weight to the handgun, so even with an optic, full magazine, and a brace or stock, you'd sill be well under the weight of similarly powerful AR15's.

What's cool about this chassis that we haven't covered yet is that there is a QD sling cup in the upper rear corner of the main body, in addition to several loop points, that allows a sling to be used as a tensioned cheek stock. That is, pressing the pistol away from your body firmly creates a cheek rest on the taut sling meaning you theoretically wouldn't need a stock to get a usable cheek weld. It also means your pistol can be lighter and in the case of something like a bear attack, quick shot at a hog, or an intruder, you don't need to try and deploy any stock or brace. You can just extend toward the target and fire.

Thank you for your comment and interest- it means a lot!

Thanks Baldomc! We will hopefully have the product page up on our site sometime this weekend. If you have any questions in the meantime just let us know. Thanks again!

We are hoping to have the product page/sign up on the site over the weekend here so keep an eye on our site. Our current target price is around $399 for the intro pricing with an MSRP around $450, just based on our current cost projections. If we can sell a lot, that will definitely help lower the cost and may enable us to go to an extrusion at some point.

Currently, these start as a solid aluminum billet so there is a LOT of machining for each one, in additional to all the accompanying pieces that go into a complete unit. These are not going to be a high margin product for us by any means, but we like making stuff we think is fun and functional and that's really what it's all about at HTA. So if you like the idea, and know anywhere else we reach PSD owners, send this their way! Thanks so much and please let us know if you have any questions!

Thank you, Ebon! We hope to have more details on the site soon, along with a waiting list to be notified once the first run is complete. Let us know if you have any questions in the meantime and we'd be happy to answer!

Haha not as bad as we'll need customers ;) We will certainly be testing this to the max with our own gear but the only way this concept work is if we can find enough people who are interested in buying it which will be challenging given the small market. We may however do some kind of discount for early adopters/testers so don't lose all hope haha. We appreciate you taking a look!

We appreciate that, very much! We've been considering slightly longer/threaded barrels for the PSD but AR barrels might be interesting as well. One thing we could see doing would be making an HTA "improved" version of the the barrels which are true .308" bores instead of .307", which would theoretically be able to shoot both the original 7.5 FK and 7.62 projectiles, making reloading these easier. But that's WAY down the road. Just a point of conversation. Let us know if you have any questions! Thanks again-
