Hi Fllas,

Finally got these 2 little pups out of Kali jail. I've had 6 delays on my last 6 DROS apps and with the 1 in 30 bs along with my summer gig, it put me way behind. Just repainted both stocks FDE and did a little touch up on the metal bite. The upper is a Squires-Bingham (original manufacturer), the lower is an RIA (Armscorp) both discontinued. The stock profile is slightly different amongst other things, and the Squires has a shell deflector. The Squires muzzle device and the RIA aren't the same, and the Squires was painted shiny black all over while the RIA looks parked or flat. They both look much better with a contrasting stock. In the grand scheme of .22 collecting these are relatively hard to come by and the mags are hen's teeth hard to locate. There are 15's and 50 round drums out there somewhere. These both are 10's. They're pretty cool and very quiet. PAX

Those are really interesting .22lr rifles with the M16 looks  8)  thumb1 I’ve never run into one out in the wild.

Greatguns:
I remember them from back in the day and almost bought one, but all the ones I have ever seen were with black poly stocks.

I also heard they were not that accurate which is why I never bought one.

This is what they looked like originally, the furniture is Philippine mahogany. I haven't shot them yet but the scoop I got (You tube vids), was they were very quiet and accurate. The function is very similar to an AR7 action. I bumped into them within days of each other. One the seller drove 75 miles and sold it for a C note (with extra mag), so I got to see what they looked like, the other I traded straight across to a fella in OR for a Glenfield M75 10 tube (looks M1 carbineish). In the world of .22 collecting they're cheap and unique but scarce. PAX

Witchywoman:
I been around guns all my life but WTH are those? Never seen one. To be honest these remind me of those crossman M-16 bb gun rifles. I had one of those. Looks just like one. Weird but cool. lol
