Sounds like a novelty. Why would I want to lug around a 12 pound .22 rifle?
Pretty pricey.
Please post a picture.
It’s out there.

One of the things you have to learn is just because you can make something doesn't mean you should.
.22LR? Why not .22WMR?
The “that is neat” geeks will buy them. I am sure we all have a buddy or buddette that buys every new “neat” thing that goes bang.
Realists will see that it is almost as cheap now to buy a real one and shoot Ruskie or Korean milsurplus 06 still sloshing around. I saw solid surplus Springfields for $999 in Cabellas this weekend (on sale). (My wife drug me to that overpriced temple of woodsy metrosexualism)....BUT
Real market, though still small, would be to familiarize tykes to the heft and feel of the M1 and M14/M1A for ultimate participation in competitive high power rifle.
The closer the controls and weight match the real deal, the better.
From nurseries across America little voices squeaking out....”This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.”
Oh, to live in that America once more.
Does it have an 8 round clip that ejects with an audible ping when the 8th round is fired? It’s not a Garand if it doesn’t.
Why would I want a .22 with the same weight as a Garand? That’s idiotic.
That is freekin cool. I’ll have one before summer if available. I know, that’s a nutty price for a .22, but I have this Garand thing going on, several diff variations including one chambered in .308W. This is one for the collection
I guess it’s for the WWII collectors who already have the StG 44 in .22LR.
Cute, but I’d rather have one in .308, that maybe takes AR-10 magazines.
That would be cool.
I use a GSG AK22 every day for training reasons, but as much as I love Garands I can’t imagine I would bother with this.
