I bet if you looked in "2013 Shot Show" forum you'll find it on the first page.

I'm on the fence with it...

It looks different, so I give it points for that.

It uses the proven 10/22 action. Another point.

However they messed with the action and from initial reports, it is a jam-o-matic and has a plastic bolt that needs to be replaced after a couple bricks of ammo.



final verdict. +10 points for style -several thousand for execution.

Looks like the company went out/or is going out of business already, and that they are of questionable/bad quality from what I read over in other forums, I could be wrong though.

Was actually just showing you how I found it and what I found. Take it easy, name calling may get you infraction points and possibly banned.

Check youtube for some reviews on it already ... Mostly the ol' jam-o-matic thing going on. Like someone else said here, + for design, huge - for execution.

I liked the out of battery problems being reviewed. The guy was very methodical and walked away with "This isn't safe. Nothing more to be said."

From what I read:

Immediately on pulling the trigger on the 27th Golden Bullet round, I was confronted with a bright, actinic purple flash from the ejection port and magazine well of the ZiP, the magazine was forcibly ejected from the firearm, my hand and face were peppered with some manner of debris, and my right hand felt like it caught a baseball bat mid-swing. I basically threw the firearm on the range bench and backed away quickly.​

These are only $30.

Might be a good accessory to go with that gun.
