What makes the Meta Tactical Apex Series a non-NFA item?

The chassis is primarily designed for Glock pistols (excluding subcompacts like the G26/43) and also supports large frame Glocks (G20/G21). It is also compatible with Polymer80, PSA Dagger, Smith & Wesson M&P, and Shadow Systems MR920/DR920 models.

What are the potential drawbacks of the Meta Tactical Apex Series?

Potential drawbacks include a slightly spongy trigger feel due to the bullpup linkage, challenges with zeroing optics due to high height-over-bore, and the possibility of chassis bolts vibrating loose during firing, requiring regular checks.

How does the trigger mechanism work in the Meta Tactical Apex Series?

The system uses a trigger linkage bar that connects the chassis's forward trigger to the pistol's actual trigger. This mechanism allows the user to operate the firearm's trigger from the front of the bullpup chassis.
