The Texas Typewriter from Black Collar Arms
The Texas Typewriter is the latest and greatest from the boys over at Black Collar Arms. The new Texas Typewriter is a modular, semi-automatic, 22LR platform meant to give you the ability to endlessly customize the platform by giving you complete compatibility with aftermarket and OEM 10/22 parts and accessories. What makes the Texas Typewriter really special is its monolithic receiver, which is supposed to give it extreme rigidity, as well as lighten the whole load (receiver, barrel, forend, and stock) down to a little less than 4 lbs total. On top of that, the gun can be ordered as a kit, pistol, or SBR, and even features ambidextrous bolt knobs for all of you southpaw rimfire junkies out there.

The Texas Typewriter from Black Collar Arms
Austin, TX — [Immediate Release] — Black Collar Arms announced the launch of the Texas Typewriter, a new semi-automatic .22LR rifle platform engineered for maximum modularity, compatibility, and future-proof customization. Available as a complete gun or build kit, in rifle, SBR, or pistol configuration.
What sets the Typewriter apart is its unique monolithic architecture. The traditional Ruger® 10/22 receiver and rifle stock have been replaced with a single ultra-rigid receiver. The forend and stock mount directly to the receiver, resulting in significant weight savings, improved rigidity, and a low-profile form factor. This is the first truly modern rimfire.
The Texas Typewriter is compatible with Ruger® 10/22 bolts, triggers, magazines, and barrels, allowing customers to tap into one of the largest and most mature aftermarket ecosystems in the firearms industry. This compatibility allows for endless customization at a very competitive price point.
The Texas Typewriter is available with a wide variety of rear stock modules, which allow for the mounting of nearly any stock on the market, including Picatinny rail, buffer tube, AK47, and 870 shotgun.
The Texas Typewriter is a high-end rimfire platform and hovers around $700 in price for virtually all versions of the rifle, as well as the build kits. Available now from Black Collar Arms, the Texas Typewriter is just begging for an FRT or Binary trigger to truly live up to its catchy name. A complete list of specifications, features, and images is available on the Black Collar Arms website.

I wouldn't send these guys any money. They have a habit of turning an 8-week lead time into 8 months.
