Haven't heard a lot of good things about the GSG.

If I was to do it over again, I would buy a dedicated 22lr AR upper.

I don't want to spend THAT kind of cash...

what have you heard bad about the GSG? I looked at the mossburg AK looking .22 it was $289, but the magazine slop was unreal... I would imagine feed issues would abound.

The GSG fit was very nice and solid, no sloppy fit or finish anywhere.

Clearly I haven't shot one, but the mock silencer really was cool, plus it threads off if you don't want it on there.

If someone was standing there holding one... I don't think you would even consider that it wasn't real. And I could shoot it for super cheap since I have thousands of rounds of .22 ammo.

They tremble at my name...

I looked at the S&W but it was over $400... I can't justify in my mind spending that kind of money on a toy. Although it held 25 bullets...

Why don't they make them that hold like 50 rounds?

They tremble at my name...

Just get a 10/22. Best .22 rifle for the money, easy. I have 2 here, and I absolutely love them.

This.

Innocence proves nothing
FUAC!!!!!

I can't say I agree with you there. While 10/22's are fun, and they sure do have a nice place in the market, I can't honestly suggest one over the "EBR"s that are available.

I really like the 10/22 I get to shoot every so often, but it is kinda like Vanilla icecream IMHO. Nice but a long way from other flavours.

KBK

Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo. H = 2

I sold my ruger 10/22 a while back, after thousands and thousands of rounds I started getting misfeed issues with certain ammo.

I still have a lever action, and a old marlin bolt action that I put my good scope on, (that is the .22 I shoot when out target shooting, it too was my grandpa's) but I got bored with my 10/22. I also have an old over under with a 20 gauge lower and 22 on top. I shot, skinned and ate a squirrel from that gun a few years ago.

I finally got some 32 hollow point ammo for my pocket Kel tec, that ammo is impossible to find unless you go to a gun show...

They tremble at my name...

It seems like everyone here has their "favorite .22" they like to shoot.

(If I could afford it)

I wish I could get a *PAL up here, but I have to take the stupid course first. My cousin has my dad's .303 from back in the day and I would like to get that back.

EDIT: PAL** sorry, Purchase and Acquisition license.
Edit, looks like 5 is the maximum for centre-fire ammo in semi-auto.

5 rounds of FAL sounds... wrong. I need to take another shower now.

Heres what I got:

Some high-capacity magazines are prohibited regardless of the class of firearm to which the magazines are attached. As a general rule, the maximum magazine capacity is:

5 cartridges for most magazines designed for rifles/shotguns that shoot centre-fire ammunition in a semi-automatic fashion
10 cartridges for most handgun magazines

A high-capacity magazine is not prohibited if it has been permanently altered so that it cannot hold more than the number of cartridges allowed by law (10). Acceptable ways to alter a magazine are set out in the (Criminal Code Regulations)

semi-automatic, rim-fire rifles
