    I shot one that belonged to a former co-worker. It shot pretty decent although I didn't particularly like the sights. The only thing at the time was more than 10 rd mags were very hard to find. As I recall it preferred high velocity rounds for reliability. The ergonomics were actually very comfortable...to me!

    Good to know. Figured someone on here would have one. Switch it over to left hand for me, granddaughter and nieces. Should be fun. Now need more .22 ammo!! After more reading you can print baseplates 3d. Then use P22 mags. Still stuck with 10rds though which is ok.

    I'll try to get out and shoot this thing this weekend, damm projects. Further reading has revealed that the tension on the stock retaining screw can affect accuracy. Something else to watch for.

    Took the g22 to the range. Shot about 200 rds. Cycled and ejected great. Was using a red dot towards the setting sun, not the best idea. Trying to run it on the lowest setting to help with accuracy. Shot various random gunroom floor ammo. Golden, cci and winchester. I see what the problems with bullpups are now. The linkage on the triggers causes issues.
    Accuracy could be better. First target is at 25yds. ( 0 setting scope) Other 2 are at 50 yards. 10 shot groups.

    Ya don't realize how far 50 yards is till the dot covers the target square, lol. 2x dot is a little light for this range.

    Taking this thing apart to clean is a be-atch. Two tiny springs inside that instantly fly out. The trigger linkage resembles the linkage inside a tailgate on a truck if you've ever worked on one. Challenging to say the least. I can't imagine a new shooter disassembling this thing.
    It's alot of fun to shoot. Controls are ambi and I have it set up for left hand. No bolt release except for pulling the charging handle. I think a stronger optic is needed to do 50 or 100. Also noticed the CCI ammo stinks and burns your nose, wow.
    Looking forward to shooting again soon!!

    *** edit, lost the 25yd target, I was wondering wth? These are all at 50. 25 yard was much better. Lol.

    Decided to leave the 2x red dot on it. Need to shoot it again with a rest. I'll stick to rabbit and squirrel ranges. I was using the grip to balance it on the table. I also was pulling it into my shoulder like I would a normal rifle. Accuracy issues are probably due to the guy behind it, lol

    Shot it at the camp today with auto match ammo. Very Much better. Used a spent small (empty)propane bottle as a target. Adjusted red dot, ding, ding, ding at about 30 yards. Seated, supporting rifle with my hands not putting pressure on the stock. Really enjoying this carbine. Feel much better about the accuracy now. Watch out critters!
