Mossberg Tactical 22: The new AR-15 style .22 rifleNONRESTRICTED

Mossberg have finally made it to the .22 AR-15 party, joining industry heavyweights such as Remington, Ruger and S&W. I don't have much information on the Mossberg Tactical 22 Series but I will share with you what I know.

Mossberg Tactical 22, adjustable stock model ​


Based on the photo I think it is safe to say that the Tactical 22 action is, or is based on, the 702 Plinkster action. The bolt and magazine appear to be the same. It would not surprise me if Mossberg has simply followed Remington and Ruger's lead and placed a 702 action inside an AR-15 patterned shell, albeit it with a much nicer looking result.
Possibly in an effort to differentiate themselves in a crowded market they have gone with a A2-style (carry handle) receiver instead of the A3-style. A2 front and rear sights are included as it a carry handle picatinny rail if you want to mount optics.
While everybody else is selling tactical .22s with 16" barrels, Mossberg has decided to go with an 18" barrel. This gives a better sight radius than 16" and a more traditional look. A full length picatinny rail is included.
Two models will be available: a fixed stock and an M4-style adjustable stock (pictured above). Both come with a 10 round magazine.

The price will be $379

So now the RCMP are saying this is restricted wearing different clothes?

I assume by the same logic the pink one isn't even considered a firearm. :confused:

n will this be restricted do u know lol ? its ovbious they know people want the tatical looking guns , so they are making them then get made into restricted lol
 
Your Sr22 is not a variant of the AR15.
The AR15 is named as a restricted weapon. Much like the M&P22, this rifle will be considered an AR variant and is therefore restricted.

Your Sr22 is is a 10/22 variant. As a rimfire, it only needs to be over 26" as per section 84 of the criminal code.
 
Too bad it is restricted given the shorter barrelled SR-22 is not... I have seen the Mossberg item half the price or the SR-22 which is nice.

Just figures the price doesn't go the other way witht he non-restricted being cheaper.

The Mossberg unit is no more a %&$#ing AR variant than the SR-22.

yes, I know - but isnt this a variant of the mossberg plinkster, aka the equiv of a 10/22?

mine sure looks similar, glad I went with non-restricted - way better for a 22 imo

Ahhem... This rifle is a variant of the 702 plinkster.... hows that any different then being a 10/22 variant.. :confused:

Please no one try and explain why this rifle is restricted... there is absolutely no rhyme or reason behind the RCMP and there methods behind classifying firearms... its a crap shoot with any firearm!! You could say its cause its black... or because Mossberg put AR Variant on there ad.... the truth is No-one knows why but the tech who classified it.

Sadly, there is a rhyme and reason behind how the RCMP classifies firearms. They do have to have a legitimate reason to classify a gun as restricted. They twist and contort their guidelines, but it is anything but arbitrary. Their reasons are not secret and we have seen them in writing before her on this forum. They will use any toehold to try and classify a gun as a variant of a prohib or restricted firearm and how they do it is quite straightforward... But it is a two way street, and Ruger was careful (or maybe just lucky) not to say anything in their SR-22 literature that claimed any AR heritage as well as not making the SR-22 too "AR-ish" in appearance....

Believe what you want...but.... if there was, the SR-22, 597 VTR, and a host of others would all also be restricted... its not because Ruger didnt advertise it as a AR variant that the SR is non-restricted... its simply the RCMP didnt have the time/energy/resources/knowledge or something else to that extent that they didnt pursue to classify at as restricted...

"They will use any toehold to try and classify a gun as a variant of a prohib or restricted firearm and how they do it is quite straightforward..."
why wasnt this the case for the SR-22, 597 VTR ??? Remington says right on there website the 597 VTR was derived from the R-15 R-25 Platform.... a restricted rifle...
