    Yep. Should be fun. Still stuck with 10 rd mags. Need more of them though.
    If I remember right, one reason I didn't get this rifle was that even though it uses the same mag body, the mag floorplate is different and that makes the Walther P22 mags non interchangeable. I had like half a dozen of them mags. They're a great design

    Yep, saw that...now. Me and the discontinued firearms, lol. But there's a 3d printer recipe for making the floor plates to go on p22 mags and boom.

    Decided to pull the trigger $425. 22 mag. Flipping it over to LH tomm. Should be a good knock around gun for camp.

    Have you seen anybody who has already modified that carry handle to get them sights closer to the barrel?

    Took apart, flipped over to LH. Function, and fire check. 100%. Found a pistol scope that will work. ( eye relief). Had to remove rear iron sight..
    Photo of flipped and photo of stripped. In stripped configuration it would still shoot but no way to mount optic. Easy to take apart for cleaning, unlike the Chinese fire drill walther g22. Need another mag while they are still around. Learned my lessons on that.
    In the works is a 17HMR version according to EAA.
    Shooting and accuracy testing at some point. So far I like it.

    Oh. The flash hider? Whatever it is, you can take off. Shortens the lenght by 3 inches. I left it on to keep the crown, barrel from getting wacked. The optic is 2.5x I believe. More than enough for 50 yard shooting.

    Shooting was good but, noticed bulges on the cases. Appeared to get less bulges as shooting continued. We'll see. Accuracy is great. Need a stronger optic than the 2.5x..... Targets at 50 yds. 3 shot group.
    Bothers me about the bulges. I'll need to read up on this. Great trigger, will be a wonderful drag around atv critter gun. Ordered 2 more mags this am.

    That doesn’t look good. A weak case could ruin your day.
    Yep and the action is near my cheek. It's obviously on the opposite side of the extractor as no feeding/ejection issues. I should be able to figure out the area by the firing pin marks on the cases. Like I said the more I shot the less it did it. Full tear down coming. I may have goofed something when I flipped the action, LH.

    Taking it out today to check 0, because of the way the upper comes off when cleaning, inspecting. Then see if I can zap some pests at the camp.
