Item Description:
US made AUG clone.
I purchased it new in 2009 and this one is Serial # 120. I have put less than 100 rounds through it. Happy to send more pics if you are interested. Works perfectly with GI mags. Have not tried Pmags in this one.
If you are not familiar with the AXR it might be worth a quick google search or read some of the info below. Basically it's a CNC custom AUG clone made with a Seyr NATO stock to use AR mags. Less than 200 were made in Beaverton, OR. At the time MSAR was not making an AUG clone that took AR Mags.
TRADES:
Interested: combos, other piston 5.56 rifles, 7.62 MBRs, SCAR, ACR, HKs, Sigs, CZ. other interesting stuff. Plus or minus cash.
Not as interested: bolt action, standard ARs, non semi rifles, calibers other than 5.56, 7.62, and 9mm
Thanks for checking it out!!
The TPD story:
TPD was a small company. The owner invested a ton into the project. AUG's were his passion. He loved them. Spent over 7yrs designing and making contacts to produce them. He used some local vendors and some from else where. Relying on other folks for things like barrels and and a few other key components proved to be a problem. The barrels were top notch, but orders that were placed with the quoted time of 3 months turned into a year. In small business land, its really hard to operate a business for 7months making no income. This was all during the Obamascare and everyone was super busy doing only AR stuff and no other barrel maker wanted to play ball. Several other suppliers did pretty much the same thing spelling the end, for the most part, of the AXR.
That said, the AXR is an incredible piece of work. Its the only AUG that was CNC'd from solid stock, not cast like all the rest. They also used a 1 in 8 twist barrel with 1/2-28 threads as well as used a steyr NATO stock to take AR mags. Its a shame that it didn't develop further as it had potential to out class the MSAR (still does IMO) and even the Sabre AUG. But this is what happens when you are a small fish with little backing in a big pond. TPD is still around however, working on other, smaller projects. It really saddens me that the probability of seeing anymore AXR's is pretty much Nil. But I have huge respect for the owner. He did, with a little help from only a handful of folks (all locals)make a working, not to mention a kick @$$ aug with a relatively small budget when everyone else said it couldn't happen.

The AXR (Advanced eXtensible Rifle) weapon was developed by US-based company Tactical Product Design (TPD) Inc. The AXR is based on the famous Austrian SteyrAUG assault rifle. Manufacture of this clone became possible because original patents for SteyrAUG have expired, and the demand for civilian version of this weapon in USA was not covered by import of original Austrian-made rifles. TPD designers created a faithful copy of Steyr AUG,so most parts are interchangeable between the AXR and AUG.Prime differences between AXR and its prototype are in materials (TPD claims to use most modern metals and polymers in its design, which are superior to those available 30 years ago in original Steyr rifle) and use of STANAG / M16 type magazines rather than proprietary magazines.Optional caliber conversion kit allows to upgrade the AXR from 5.56mm /.223 to more potent 6.8mm Rem SPC caliber. At the present time AXR is offered only in semi-automatic version, for civilian and police use.
TPDAXR rifle is gas-operated semi-automatic weapon of bullpup configuration. The receiver is made from aluminum alloy, the stock / housing is made from impact-resistant polymer. Barrels are quick-detachable, with barrel lock incorporated into the gas block /forward grip base. Adjustable gas system features short-stroke gaspiston, located to the right of the barrel. Bolt group rides on dual guide rods, and different user-replaceable multi-lug rotary bolts are available for right- or left-hand ejection. It must be noted that current polymer stocks of AXR rifle does not permit easy change of the ejection direction, as ejection port is made only on one side of the stock. AXR is equipped with bolt hold-opendevice; bolt catch can be deactivated by pulling the charging handle.The original SteyrAUG-type bolt closure device is incorporated into the design,in the form of the button on the charging handle. Normally non-reciprocating charging handle is located also on the left side, in front of the receiver; push on the button locks the handle to the bolt group, allowing to use it for manual bolt closing. AXR rifle accepts any M16 / Ar15-type magazines; magazine release buttons are located below the stock, behind the magazine housing, and on the left side of the stock, above the magazine. Manual safety is of cross-boltbutton style, located above the pistol grip. No sights are installed by default on AXR rifle; instated, each rifle is equipped with Picatinny-type rail on the top of receiver, which permits installation of any type of sighting equipment using appropriate mountings.
