Excel Arms X-22P questions...

[lazi]

I'm thinking this on really fits the ticket. I just have a few questions.

1) Can we get some pictures of the sights?

2) Do they have to be removed or do they interfere when you mount other sighting options to the rail?

3) Will this accept the Ruger factory 10 round rotary magazines?

4) When will this be available?

5) Any plans for a forend with rails or sights?

Still want one regardless of the answers. Just asking...

Hello,

I will try to get a picture of the sights up today.

do not have to be removed for mounting Optics. Front sight is elevation, Rear sight is windage

built to accept most 10/22 magazines. The X-22P Series firearms require Steel Lip Magazines with ejectors for proper performance. The Factory mags will work there is just not alot to hold on to when pulling the mags back out of the firearm.

The X-22P are available now.

With a short barrel leangth of 4-3/8 its best that your hands stay away form the end of the barrel..

I hope this will help you and I do apologize for not getting back to you sooner..

thanks for the reply... figured you guys were just busy.

answered my questions but still like the idea of at least some sort of barrel shroud or maybe even a 2" guard with bottom rail. just ideas...

also threading and bipod options would be cool to see for this. I like this better than the 10/22 charger which was orginally i planned for but there are trade offs both ways I guess.

thanks!



and the 30 carbine models are bada$$...

I'm saving up for the X-22P. It looks like the perfect trainer for the PDW type weapons that are on the market now.

If I like it, I will buy the 5.7 pistol as well.

The only thing that worries me, is that I've seen a lot of negative comments about your customer service online - like people who send their gun in to get fixed and just get refunds for their guns? What is the other side to these stories please? A lot of them involve the 17HMR pistol, which I see you have now dropped, if that helps?

Hello!

The X-22P would be a great PDW trainer!

In regards to our customer service we would never take a firearm in on repair and just issue a refund without consulting with the customer first. In both of our firearm lines we offer a lifetime warranty to the original retail purchaser. We are a small family owned and operated business and have been that way for over 30 years. Yes sometimes things happen and a customer cant be satsified, but we always stand behind our products 100%.

There is alot of inconsistent 17HMR ammo that is manufactured today, and it shows up more frequently in all the semi autos. This why we have got in to the 5.7 round.

I hope that this will ease your conserns about us.

I'm having trouble finding any of your pistols for sale. I would like to purchase one, but the lack of availability is hampering me. How can i obtain one of your X-22P pistols?

We were exhibiting at the NASGW show last week in Reno NV, Where we picked up some info on WINCHESTER's NEW .17HMR. They are stating a "NEW AND IMPROVED SHELLCASE" with "MORE EFFICIENT POWDER FOR REDUCED PRESSURES AND CONSISTENT VELOCITIES" also "STRONGER SHOULDER FOR IMPROVED CASE INTEGRITY". WINCHESTER has stated that they are manufacturing this round, not CCI who currently produces there own .17HMR and for other companys in .17HMR on the market. As of this morning we have been in contact with WINCHESTER AMMUNITION and are working togeather on testing this NEW .17HMR in our semi auto firearms.
