I came up with the idea to make a .22lr M1 Garand. Obviously, .22lr AR's and other military look alikes seem to sell well enough, like the GSG products.
So, the rifle would probably come in 3/4th size and full size model. Of course the action would represent the real garand one on a smaller scale, but with the necessary changes to make it work with a rimmed cartridge.
I also thought up clips to use, they would most likely be like striper clips because IIRC, it is difficult to have a staggered magazine w/ rimfire. Of course, the clips would hold 8 rounds but then they could always sell +/- the 8 round standard, and the signature "PING" would definitely be built into the design.
I know Iver Johnson made a M1 carbine in .22lr but I dont know how well that turned out, but this is a garand so... c'mon. What do you guys think? Would you buy one? two? ten?
