Or, man, I like some Evil Black 22LR Rifles!
Tactical 22LR rifles that look like other tactical rifles have been around for a bit. Some folks have made to resemble AR-15s, such as Spike’s Tactical various 22LR products – notably this very sexy ST-15, a short barreled rifle. There is also the Evolution Stock from RB Precision to give your 10/22 an Evil Black Rifle look and ProMag introduced the Archangel, which is also a way to dress up your 10/22.
One of the trends this year, highlighted at shot show, is the increase in tactical 22LR rifles that based on AR-15s. And other platforms as well. Such as:
S&W M&P15-22. A picture here. A snazzy, M4 looking 22LR.
Also, the Colt/Umarex M4 22 was introduced at shot.
And even Sig Sauer is marketing a 22LR version of their 556 called the Sig522LR.
A good idea for getting some trigger time in without the cost of 223 ammo. Good stuff.
Update: and how can I forget the GSG5.
When it all about style rather than substance, go with black plastic and black anodized aluminum. When you want something that will do the same thing but cost 1/3 the price, go with a beech stock on the 10/22 and use the difference in price to buy a better trigger and a better barrel. Just sayin’ is all….
Dear ghod … is Gunkid running the firearms industry?
Walter Mitty buys a lot of guns, always has and always will.
However, in partial defense…
Say you were handling the procurement budget for a midsize municipality’s SWAT team. Which would you rather pay for: .22LR or .223?
Especially consider that with the .22LR you can shoot a LOT more at a time.
Just to make usre I am not misunderstood:
YES, I’m talking aobut training budget…
