.22 Mag, Semi Auto

[trapper1]

Are these still available? If so, who still manufactures? Cost?

Thanks!

You might search for Black Lightning 22mag. I got one a few months back from Mitchel Mausers. Nice gun.

There are some Remington out there, model 537, maybe?

CZ-USA lists the 512 in 22 Mag.

I don't own one. Therefore, I can say if they're any good.

Keltec makes one. No idea of the quality. Good luck trying to find one.

Actually, Kel-Tec doesn't make a .22 WRM rifle.

They do make the PMR-30 pistol though.

Magnum Research still lists a few

I believe they use the Ruger 9rd rotary magazine.

Off the top of my head, out of production, but can still be found with some searching: Kodiak, H&R 700, H&K 300, Marlin 922, Ruger 10/22M, Remington 597M, Grendel Carbine, CZ 611 and 611A.

In production: Excel Arms (which MM appears to have badged Black Lightning), Volquarson, CZ 512.

Those are all I can remember. I vaguely recall a small company (years ago) offering an AR7 look-alike in 22 Mag, but I never saw one in the flesh. As I recall, it was pricey and that's the reason I don't have one.

Good luck with your quest.

They are marketing now a carbine version of it, too, called the RMR-30. Not sure of pricing or availability.

There was a AR-7 based rifle made in Germany: JGL-Automat 65 Rifle, manufactured by Josef G. Landmann-Preetz, .22LR and .22 magnum semi-auto. They show up on auction sites ever so often. I believe the model number 65, 68 and 69 represent the years they were intrioduced, but I haven't found much on them. One model was a tommy-gun look-alike designed to appeal to military rifle buffs.

I have a Remington 597 magnum I traded a guy out of. It's reliable and very accurate. I had to fix the stiff trigger with a Volquartsen hammer/sear, but it's smooth as budda now. Cost me 35 bucks from www.midwayusa.com and was an easy install. The gun came with a 3x9x40 Bushnell Trophy on top. I like it.

Saw this in a gun magazine. Looks interesting but I don't have any feedback on quality. They seem to know how to make quality web sites. Would be glad to hear from anybody with info.

 

[ole farmerbuck]

Here's may Mitchel Mauser. She's pretty accurate with Hornady critical defence.

Try this instead.

Is that Mitchell and Excel Arms the same unit. It looks like it.

.22 Mag is not reliable in a semi-auto. Just sayin...

 

[GCBurner]

I'm browsing gun shows for a Mossberg bolt action in .22 Mag.

I really dont know.

Mine was giving me a little extracting trouble to start with but after calling Mitchels and using the kind of lube he said, it works great. I was using Rem oil and he said NO!. Sprayed it with breakfree and after a few shots, its all good.

Really??? My Rem. 597M has been 100% reliable since i bought it more than 5 years ago, i have nothing but good things to say about it...

The Rem. magnums are very good semi auto's in 22WMR...

Tell that to my CZ611 or the Marlin 922. No worries with those.

 

[witchhunter]

I thought Ruger made a 10/22 in .22 magnum, maybe you could find a used one...I think volquartzen still might.
