Most conversion kits cut corners where it counts. The MX-1 is aircraft-grade aluminum and military-spec polymer, with an AR-style charging handle instead of the flimsy plastic you find on the cheap kits.
It locks in tool-free, holds zero, and comes with everything you need to run it right out of the box.
A real charging handle that works under pressure, not the plastic tab competitors ship.

WHY THE APEX
BULLPUP PERFORMANCE. PISTOL SIMPLE.
Most kits add bulk without adding real capability. The APEX is a bullpup-style conversion that gives you four points of contact, a 16" barrel, and a 26" overall length, so you get rifle-like velocity and tighter groups without a full-size carbine.
It drops your compatible pistol into a new platform, keeps AR-style controls, and ships ready to run out of the box.
Shoulder, cheek, firing hand, and support hand. More stability than a pistol, faster target acquisition than a handgun alone.
02
16" BARREL VELOCITY
The included 16" drop-in barrel adds length where it counts — more velocity, tighter groupings, and a platform that actually stretches your pistol’s range.
03
FITS IN A PACK
Bullpup design puts the barrel back in the chassis. You get rifle performance in a compact 26" package that stays maneuverable.
04
AR-STYLE ERGONOMICS
Familiar grip geometry, adjustable stock, and controls that feel like a rifle — not a pistol with extra plastic bolted on.
05
OPTICS-READY TOP RAIL
Full-length Picatinny up top plus M-LOK at 3, 6, and 9. Mount the optic, light, or grip you already run.
06
MADE IN THE USA
Chassis and 16" barrel in the box. Convert the pistol you own instead of buying a second firearm.
WHO WE ARE
ENGINEERS AND BUILDERS, NOT JUST A BRAND NAME
META Tactical came out of a simple frustration. The kits on the market were either overbuilt and overpriced or cheap and unreliable. We knew we could do better, because building precision gear is what we already do.
Every MX-1 is designed, engineered and manufactured in-house, right here in the USA. We control the whole process, from the first drawing to the finished chassis, so we can hold it to our own standard and price it so more people can actually own one.

The APEX turns your handgun into a shoulderable bullpup carbine. A 16 inch drop-in barrel gives you the velocity and reach a pistol platform cannot, and it stays legal without SBR paperwork.

Fit and finish is way better than I expected at this price. Folds down small enough to keep in my range bag without a second thought.
