I hear rumours that the first few testers are out there...
It's an M-4 platform, 16" barrel, all the usual stuff... 10-rd mag and a 35-round mag as well. Anyone shot one yet?? I LOVE .22 WMR ![]() What chamber design did they use to make sure the .22Magnums eject properly?? Inquiring minds wanna know !!!

In the December 2010 issue of The American Rifleman, they did a review of these "Tatical" .22's (No mention of the AK27; which I saw in Dunhams).
Included are the Ruger SR22; Remington 597VTR; SIG Sauer522 Classic; ATI GSG-522 (HK MP5); Colt Tatical Rimfire (AR 15); HK 416 D145RS; Smith & Wesson M&P15-22; and the Mossberg 702 Tatical Plinkster. The cost of these black plastic wanna bees ranges from $276-$675; and the acurracy is average. They are fun litte guns; but it will wear off. That's my impression after reading the article (no .22WMR). Last edited by 22shot; 12-03-2010 at 09:47 PM.. |

Same here as 22shot was aying, havent heard anything about them nor was they mentioned in Dec. issue of AR. A bunch on the A-R style .22lr, which in my opinion are a "fun" rife to shoot and the SR-22 that I "did" own right before I did some "letting go" of some guns, I was taking head shots on chipmunks up to 35-40yds with mine with the P4 sniper scope on it.
Anxious to see how the .22 WMR transpires!

Big Shrek i too love the .22 maggy and interested to see how they deal with ejection ,,
WMR are a bordeline case for expansion damage, i looked one day about reloading .22's and when i lookd at the WMR cases i shuddered , not good and yeah can be a bugger to extract on a bolt action , i'd hate to see what the cases are like with this after rapid rife No semi auto here anyway but interested none the less |

I personally dont see any reason to own a 22 WMR, A person can reload a 223 for less money than you can buy 22 mag ammo for. A 223 will outshoot and out perform the 22 mag in every aspect, there really is no comparison. As far as these wanna-be AR styled weapons, for the price of some them you can buy a good entry level AR, a real one at that. Just my two cents worth, not that it really matters.

Because if you get caught using Centerfire...it'sa helluva fine. Consequently, there's a market for good .22WMR's, as .22lr often ain't quite enough for larger varmints.

A .22 magnum will probably carry the .22 magnum $$$ tag too which is too bad. I loved my AMT .22 Automag and I never had any type of ejection problems. People didnt believe all that noise was a .22.
