So I have an AXR by TPD that should be shipping out Monday. I've never owned an AUG type rifle (or any bull pup configuration for that matter).. What do I need to know about it? What should I be expecting? Optics? Anyone recommend something?

| It's the ONLY varient in my AUG/clone collection that has zero play between the barrel and receiver. For me, it is the most accurate as well. Most of the major components, besides the barrel group and the billet receiver, are actually Steyr parts. IIRC, there were less than 150 rifles/ receivers ever made. The item that you may have issue with would be the gas regulator as some tend to break. If that ever happen, just replace it with a Steyr part. You've made a good investment. |

What should I be expecting? Small, awesome, great balance. I don't know how tpd triggers are but im pretty sure it wont feel like some pampered match trigger but will still be definitely functional. Practice with it a bit and you will adapt to the ergos. If you don't then don't be surprised when it feels different than a ar since it is. |

Awesome, thanks for all the responses 
What are they worth? I don't really know. Never saw one for sale. I've never considered selling mine so I never thought about or researched it to be honest. All I can say is I paid about $2000 for it before Styer was offered here. If you don't mind me asking, what were they asking for the one you got? |

I have one but have never shot it, very nice receiver well built and Kent did an excellent job on the rifle. I wish I had done that. (Not shot it.) Had I known Styer was coming and TPD was going, I'd have stuck it away and got a Styer or two for shooting and spare parts for the AXR. lol! Still going to do that though. |

I haven't gotten to shoot mine as much as I would like lately, but they are great guns. And one of the nicest machined receivers you will find.
I had one blow out the gas plug and had to replace the piston, but as of several years ago both Steyr and MSAR piston/plugs were compatible. Enjoy it! So, is Kent getting back in business? He got hurt pretty bad by the panic parts shortages, plus both MSAR and Steyr showing up in the market unexpectedly. But a great guy to deal with that I highly recommend. With the import issues, maybe he should just make Steyr compatible 22LR and 9mm conversions. That is something I find sorely missing on the AUG platform. |

We are working on re-entering the market hopefully this year end. Beginning with receivers and then a redesigned AXR sometime after that. Our goal is cutting a significant amount of weight from the AXR. Looking forward to talking with you guys in the future! Kent Luttrell TPDUSA |

If you read the threads on the current AUG's (and I'm sure you do), there are many people who would like something similar to the Original AUG. Might I suggest you bring an A2 version to market. Plus PLEASE retain parts interchangeability with Steyr as I want the ability to use a Steyr stock so I can run the Steyr mags. |
