Maksim 1,504 Posted December 27, 2010 by far my favorite out of the AR 22lr clones. quite functional as opposed to the colt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Destinydog 9 Posted December 27, 2010 which model did you purchase? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vjf915 456 Posted December 27, 2010 There are plenty of threads about this gun in the rimfire section. But yes, for what it is, it's a great gun. Just remember that you are spending $450 for a .22 that is good for...plinking. This is something that I would recommend getting after you purchase more practical guns. If you want a .22 for plinking, there are cheaper models. Just my opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vjf915 456 Posted December 27, 2010 Home defense? Shooting farther than a .22 can accurately shoot? Again. This is an expensive .22. If someone wants a super cool "tactical" .22 as their first gun, that's fine. As I said in my post, I was just making a suggestion. I don't know what your current firearm collection is. My first purchase was a 15-22. It's a nice gun, but I'm on a limited budget, and I decided to get rid of it for something that could be used for more than just plinking at relatively short distances.

robs609 2 Posted December 27, 2010 I just bought one from vinco on the forum for 460 otd. I have only had cb longs through it so far I will take it to the range this weekend. So far I am very impressed . I just picked up a cheap truglo red dot at dicks for 30. I ordered a pinned 15 rd mag from rrages.com and some magpul xt rail covers and a angled foergrip.

Destinydog 9 Posted December 27, 2010 thanks for the info... yeah this isnt my first, nor my only. I have about $400.00 to spend as i just sold a gun so im probably gonna get it. The reviews seem to be very good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Destinydog 9 Posted December 27, 2010 Yup...Its a blast to shoot what kind of goodies you got on that badboy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vjf915 456 Posted December 27, 2010 The reviews seem to be very good. It IS a good gun. It's light, accurate, easy to disassemble/clean. I WOULD recommend getting one if this is what someone is looking for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Ray 3,566 Posted December 27, 2010 This gun is perfect if you own an AR and want to shoot it but don't want to spend the money on 5.56 ammo. Feels like an AR, handles like an AR, and looks like an AR. Go for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbk 188 Posted December 27, 2010 I have one myself, and its quite awesome. I use mine primarily as a trainer actually, not just a plinker. With that said, I've been running it relatively hard, and its held up just fine with around 800+ rounds through it with no malfunctions (450~ in one session, with no cleaning).

chaloots 0 Posted December 27, 2010 i love mine. wanted something cheap to shoot w/a more tacti-cool style it loves to eat the federal 525 bilk packs. easy to break down and clean, plenty of rails included out of the box to dress it up how you like, i liked the fact that the trigger spring is the same as a real ar(i swapped out the stock ones w/lighter jp springs) added a red dot, its a ton of fun for plinking the lightweight is nice and easy to handle and ALMOST makes it feel like youre shooting something more signifigant.

johna hex 1 Posted February 6, 2011 bought one 2 weeks ago put about 2 hundred rounds threw it.. love it.... a little off subject does anybody know a good site to get some goodies from? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackDaWack 2,895 Posted February 7, 2011 I wouldn't call this particular rifle expensive. If anything it's relatively cheap compared to the other ones out there, if you take functionality and reliability and looks into consideration. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It really depends on what your looking for, optics planet has a ton of gear you can look through. Believe it or not but amazon also has a good deal of stuff, but you need to know what you want. As far as the barrel cover(fake silencer) thats probably the only thing you would need some one to tell you where to find. Any other accessory you can find on an AR/rifle supply site.

XDJohnTact 49 Posted February 7, 2011 I hope to get out to shoot my new 15-22 on Tuesday. Have to sight it in. Got it from Tony, best price and service around, seriously! Ordered one of the rrange mags in 15 and put a loading pin in the stock 10 round mag it came with (why do that have the load button on the 25 and short 10 round mags but not on the long 10 round it comes with?). Also ordered some ladder rail covers in tan to give it a little color. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure why the older 10 round magazines are that way, but Smith and Wesson does sell factory 10 round magazines with the loading assist spring-thing. I agree though 100%, the magazines without the load assist thing are just painful to load (especially when its cold). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NjGunner732 16 Posted February 23, 2011 Found out that if they put the load assist in the stock long 10 round magazines that it would not allow the follower to push the last round out of the magazine. Its a stupid flaw but whatever!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XDJohnTact 49 Posted February 23, 2011 Heh, heh, Heh, I got around that with my load assist, all I needed to do was file the slot a little. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
