Col. Nathan C. Riddles, SASS # 7462 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Anybody have one they'd be willing to part with? When I was a kid my cousin had one and we had a ball plinkin with it. I tried to get him to sell it to me but he wouldn't part with it. I know Chiappa is supposed to be bringing one out. But I'm not holding my breath since they announced it at the 2011 Shot Show and again at the Shot Show this year and nobody has ever seen one other than at the Shot Shows. They're all talk & no action. It ought to be illegal for a company to announce a new product in the media longer than 90 days before the product is on store shelves.

Chili Ron Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Howdy, One out on gunbroker, no bids and 325 minimum. Looks like fun but I got 10/22s I need to wear out first. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Vasco Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I hope that you find one. I've had an an Erma Werke/Iver Johnson for 20+ years and I still enjoy shooting it. It is a bit picky as far as ammo is concerned. Â Good Luck El Vasco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Brady #24830Life Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I have a very interesting Marlin semi auto .22 in M1 carbine configuration. Has a tube mag that goes just to end of forestock, but stock is an M1 carbine type with over-barrel forend. Rear sight is receiver mounted to be an M1 lookalike. Never seen one of these before, but have had it for years and it a hoot to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Nathan C. Riddles, SASS # 7462 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Thanks for the tips pards but I couldn't find one on proxibid or gunbroker, no matter how I searched. There is one on Guns America and I emailed the seller some questions about it. But no answer yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Ron Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Howdy,  iver johnson carbine  272956639  Give it a look. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Nathan C. Riddles, SASS # 7462 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Thank Ron. I've got an email question into him Now we'll see if I get any answers. Â El Vasco, I've found that most semi auto 22 rifles & pistols are ammo finnicky. They tend to want the hot stuff such as CCI Mini Mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crooked River Pete, SASS 43485 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 How about one of these, make your 10-22 into a look-a-like. Â http://www.eabco.com/m1_carbine_ruger_1022_tribute.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Nathan C. Riddles, SASS # 7462 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 No thanks Pete. Except for the stock it's not even close. Besides I've had a 10-22 and I don't want another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Vasco Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Â El Vasco, I've found that most semi auto 22 rifles & pistols are ammo finnicky. They tend to want the hot stuff such as CCI Mini Mags. Â Â That's exactly right, my Erma M-1 likes the hot stuff. It will work OK with lighter loads for a few mags; but will start misfiring as it gets dirty. The hotter stuff cycles it well, even when dirty.

Col. Nathan C. Riddles, SASS # 7462 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 I bought the one on Guns America this afternoon. Put the check & FFL in the mail. The gun is in Kaintuck, so it may take a couple weeks to complete the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Ron Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Congrats Pard. Id sure like to give it a try. I have a 10/22 with that conversion kit. Its fun on a nice afternoon. I like 10/22s cause they eat everything but the real slow .22 ammo. And they rarely break. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
