The New Black Collar Arms “Texas Typewriter”

The Ruger 10/22 platform is one of my all-time favorite firearms. With a healthy set of aftermarket support, the 10/22 is one of the most adaptable and capable rimfire platforms in the United States, if not in the entire world. Black Collar Arms is now taking a crack at their version of a “high-end” 10/22 platform with the release of the new “Texas Typewriter.” The claim to fame here is its lightweight, monolithic design, parts compatibility, and its status as an off-the-shelf Form 4 item when ordered as an SBR.

A Refined 10/22: The New Black Collar Arms “Texas Typewriter”

Austin, Texas – 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.

Available now through Black Collar Arms (obviously), the Texas Typewriter delivers a durable platform and virtually limitless customization options at a premium 10/22 price point starting under $700. More details are below and on the official Black Collar Arms website and YouTube Channel.
