Considered picking one up to play around with. Anyone here have one? Thoughts? |

Have you ever fired a ps90?
I fired one last week. I'm glad I took the opportunity but I wouldn't buy one, but that's just me, and not the caliber. I'm too fat, shoulders too wide, arms too short, wrong ear protections(this most likely is the culprit)but I just couldn't get a good fit. The owner and another guy use in the ear protection and had no issues. I'm just saying hold one first because the price I found for them, $329, leaves me very little room for error. Just looking at a ps90 wasn't appealing to me but the idea of a tiny truck gun still excites! Good luck |

I got one of the first production kits. I like it.
I was rather surprised at how well made it was. It's pretty solid when put together, unlike older bullpup conversions that feel like they're made from old milk jugs. Everything fits, matches up to the base gun, and operates like it should. The only complaint would be the mag catch and bolt stop were a bit fumbly to use, but they now come with the extended replacements I bought later when they came out. Obviously the kit doesn't HELP the trigger, so if your 10/22 has a fair to poor trigger to start with, I'd correct that first. I never had any trouble with knocking my earmuffs off, but it is wide and is most blockiest at that part of the stock. I'm not sure where the above quoted price came from, but they are $269.95 on the HTA website. That's $30 more than mine was, but they now come with the extended mag catch and bolt stop which I bought later. |

I like it a lot. Bit of a pain to disassemble/reassemble, and I don't think my top rail is in spec (bit too narrow) but otherwise a hit. I just got over wanting to disassemble to fully clean the 10/22 guts very often, and shimmed the top rail to work with my cheapie red dot sight.
Was just thinking the other day it might be the perfect host for a Gemtech Mist, but a winner as-is. HTA are great folks to deal with. I would advise replacing the 10/22 trigger with a Ruger BX trigger - and plan to do this next time I disassemble mine. I don't care for the extended bolt handles but do like the extended magazine release, and the back-to-back magazine "clip". (Two stock Ruger 10rd rotary mags back to back fits the magwell almost perfectly - doesn't extend out so far as to be noticeable - like the BX-25 does, but a lot easier to grab than a single stock magazine.) |

A tip for disassembly/assembly:
This comes from it being a clamshell chassis held together by about 600 screws of different lengths you shouldn't mix up. Trace the chassis on a piece of cardboard, or better yet, foam board. As you remove each screw, stick it into this pattern at the point it came from on the gun. Then you should have all the screws, and in the right place, when it's time to go back together. Just accept it and do it. |
