In somewhat of a double-punch press release, Black Collar Arms has both announced their brand new Piglet Takedown Chassis and informed us that the very first production unit has been built into a tricked-out SBR that’s being auctioned off right now to benefit the C4 Foundation.
A bunch of companies (Brownells, Timney, Aimpoint, JK Armament, etc) have donated parts for the rifle and, we must say, it’s very cool to see that sort of industry collaboration. Black Collar’s press release follows . . .
First Ever Black Collar Arms Piglet Takedown Rifle to be Auctioned for Navy SEAL Charity
Black Collar Arms is proud to announce its brand new Piglet Takedown Chassis system, which fits Ruger 10/22 Takedown compatible receivers and barrels. With generous donations from great industry partners in support of the C4 Foundation, a charity organization for active-duty Navy SEALS and their families, the very first production Piglet TD has been built into a decked-out rifle package and is being auctioned off on Gunbroker now!
The following companies donated components and services to make the C4 Foundation Piglet Takedown rifle a reality:
- Brownells: BRN-22 Takedown receiver, plus bolt, recoil spring, and charging handle
- Timney: Drop-in trigger system
- Aimpoint: ACRO C-2 optic
- AccuLite Barrel: 10-inch Takedown barrel
- JK Armament: JK 105 RFX .22Cal suppressor
- Silencer Shop: Tax stamp for suppressor, tax stamp for SBR, two Single Shot Trusts, and eForm 4 filing service
- Capitol Armory: Custom Cerakote work including C4 Foundation logos
- Fixed Sight Media: Photography
- Gunbroker: Auction fees waived so 100% of the auction close price will be donated
Manufactured in-house at the Black Collar Arms Central Texas facility, the Piglet Takedown Chassis is incredibly lightweight, durable, and precise. The Piglet TD brings a handful of unique features to the 10/22-compatible chassis/stock market:
- Rear screws lock receiver and trigger solidly in place. No rocking or wiggling like many other 10/22 compatible stocks and chassis! These rear screws are used in place of the factory rear trigger pin.
- Grip mount is integral to the Piglet Chassis rather than a screw-on part. Piglet accepts any AR-15 pistol grip (Black Collar Arms Priapus Grip recommended).
- Notched for convenient safety bar clearance when on “safe.”
- Increased screw head diameter for receiver screw and handguard screw. The included screws replace the original Ruger ones and better distribute force.
- Add a Night Vision Bridge to mount your optic to the takedown barrel assembly for perfect return-to-zero every time!
- Accepts most M1913 Picatinny rail-compatible pistol stabilizing braces (FS1913 recommended) or shoulder stocks (Black Collar Arms Stock Option recommended).
- Multiple quick-detach handguard options available to accommodate different barrel length and suppressor setups.
- Machined from a solid block of billet 6061 aluminum.
- Piglet TD Chassis weighs just 9.1 ounces! Weight with 3-, 4-, and 6-Slot Handguard attached is only 14, 15, and 17 ounces, respectively. System weight with Handguard and Stock Option is 24 to 29 ounces!
100% of the Gunbroker auction close price will be donated to the C4 Foundation, which was established to provide active-duty SEALs and their families a place to connect and get some R&R between deployments. It is focused on the fortitude, mental health, and family connections of our U.S. Navy SEALs.
While the C4 Foundation Piglet Takedown Rifle is built as an SBR, the auction winner will be given the option to take a 16-inch rifle instead, if that’s their preference (or a legal necessity in their home state, etc.).
