Looks like my Ruger 10/22. Mine’s cheaper.

I’m a Rock River Arms guy, but I wouldn’t mind owning one of these too.

I doubt that will happen with the current demand of AR style platforms.

Nice looking, no complaints about the price .... any idea where I can still buy some ammo?

As a club, I have several suggested improvements. I like the replaceable clip, because after I clock some guy 2-3 times with this club, I am pretty sure the clip will be pretty much worthless. Is the clip reciever rated for this kind of impact?

Love the knobby ends on the stock, that should leave a nice mark too.

Wow! Remember old man Ruger did not want to sell a CCW semi-auto pistol and wanted to compormise on hi caps. Times sure changed. This looks pretty nice though a bit pricey. The nice thing about Rugers is they never jam.

Can you set it next to a colt and swap uppers?

If not, it’s junk.

It's purty but I think I'll keep the $995 ones I have. Never thought I'd ever say this sentence.....ready folks.....”I think I have enough guns, I just need a little more ammo and I'm gunned up.”

Well, there's always that scoped 44mag, 30-40 Krag if it's in good shape, then maybe an exotic like a .500 or something like that. Then I have enough.

Maybe another Thompson barrel........that would be enough. I got enough plinkers like this one. Maybe a new top receiver in .308, yeah, that would be enough then for sure.

I did like that new .416 for snipers, that might just fill the bill.

Yeah, I just about have enough.

Well, if you switch the barrel/gas tube with it, yes. The article says the lower and attachments are standard, so the interface to the upper has to be the same.
