I couldn't remember why I didn't have a couple and just tried to order. Then I remembered. Hint.(grin) Straight blowback makes me nervous once you exceed 22LR,as I've seen a lot of failures/bursts,which is why I LOVE my Garrow Hummer uppers. Hint.................

Shipping to MT was $24, via Fedex. I thought that seemed a little high......guess I was very wrong.

Went S/S,ordered (2) and that's obviously over the $300 Free Shipping minimum purchase threshold at $437.82 total. They never saw it coming. Hint...................(grin)

Hell yeah, makes sense to order two. Almost the same cost as shipping one.

Most of the buyer reviews are very positive. There are some complaints about light-strikes, and soft firing pins.
This is probably one of those rimfires that you don't want to dry-fire. Most likely that's where the firing pin issues are coming from.
Also it looks like it doesn't work with a notched hammer.

My brother has one. It's OK at best. Has to use a proprietary buffer, so unless you dedicate a lower to it is a PITA. Fun with the binary though.

Yeah I see it comes with the necessary buffer and spring included.
Swapping those parts in/out should only take about 30 seconds.

Swapping those parts in/out should only take about 30 seconds. Yeah I should have clarified that the binary he has in that lower makes it difficult to remove the buffer. Not a big deal normally. We burned up his whole stash of ammo in about 15 minutes with it. Had a few fail to fires, and his won't extract live rounds at all. For the money though, it's not a bad deal.

Sounds like fun. Hopefully this will not be a bum purchase. Anyhoo, we'll find out.

It’s hard to get to Stick’s AO via ground tough getting the guards at the asylum to pass him stuff? I have a RayVin upper that is the most accurate 22wmr i have ever shot. if the bear creek units come anywhere close I will get one.

Give that tampon a twist there Stick. I like lighter 22 rifles and more conventional designs. Even a wood stock for instance. But still am considering an upper anyway.
