Sounds like a novelty. Why would I want to lug around a 12 pound .22 rifle?

It is somewhat of a novelty, as all replica firearms are to a certain extent.

At least you can still buy original Garands. My choice in a replica .22 rifle would be a GSG STG-44. Original Sturmgewehrs are NFA, exceedingly expensive, and rare. The replica at 10 pounds is actually slightly lighter than the original. Someone described it as a movie prop gun built around a .22 rifle. As such, it's fairly well done.

If this thing weighs 9 1/2 pounds, and shoots .22 LR, I would rather just carry the real thing and shoot a 10/22 instead. ,

More a work of Art than a practical plinker.

I do because it prints sub inch at 100 yards and it is discrete........
