Can I vent about not buying a rifle while it was in stock?

Now I know it's completely my fault for not jumping on it as soon as I saw it but Frontier Firearms had a ISSC SPA 22 in stock and I f'ing missed it. I am just choked! Does anyone know where else in Canada I can find one in .22lr??

Look how bloody awesome this rifle is

That's my rant, sorry about that.

That thing is sweet! I don't know where to find them, but now that I have seen it I want to find out. I'm going to start looking. I will let you know if I find out.
 
Cool.....I was waiting for someone to guinea pig that ####. I don't really trust anything from ISSC....that Glockish M22 is garbage and the MK22 scar was a jamomatic failure. Since they only make 3 different firearms....SPA is new to the line, and the first 2 were crap....well, I'll wait it out a while.
 
That a nice looking gun but as hitzy said , most of there line up has had major issues so maybe you got lucky ? I love the look of the target model ( probably because I have a AICS stock with a rem 7 inside ) and it would make a great younger brother for my .308 , BUT ...... I think I'll wait and see how the reviews look on these before I shell out the $$ for a possible " jam-o-matic " . If anyone has any experience or links to reviews I'd love to read them ! Sorry you lost out though , it always sucks .....
 
If I can get one I will be the first chump to shell out the $569 plus tax and shipping to get one. I will do a full write up with pictures and videos, all that jazz. I emailed Frontier Firearms and asked if they will get more in stock. Oh and just for the record, I had an ISSC SCAR and I didn't have any problems with it, loved it actually. It just needed to be fed decent, clean, high powered round nose bullets and it ran like a champ.

^ditto. Gorgeous looking rifle, no reason to think it wouldn't be good...but for that kind of $, I wouldn't want to learn a tough lesson about gut instincts. lol Going to look around online tonight for reviews.
 
Nicely featured rifle... excellent price also... post back here if you find a vendor with inventory.
 
Call Frontier and ask them to get more. If it was new, he should be able to. Great folks to deal with.
 
Well I hope if you get one its nothing like their crappy semi auto 22 pistols, I had one I paid 600 for and i sold it as a parts gun for 150 dollars and had to fight to get that!!!! it was the worst POS i have ever had!!! so here's hoping it's nothing like that!!!
 
Yep, cool lookin gun. I've also learned if you hem and haw about buying rare guns when they come up you will most likely let opportunity pass you by. So when I stumbled across my dream .22 the other day I jumped in with both feet and not a second thought! It arrived yesterday and I'll post about it later with some ###y target pics after I get it to the range.
 
I understand the reluctance some may have with the ISSC products but N Sylva did step up last year and resolve most (all?) the issues that we had. We first saw these over two years ago but didn't see any until 6 months ago when they were shipped to us. We currently have the standard barrel black synthetic stock models in stock in both 22 R and 17 HMR...$540. So far no problems have been reported to us. Phil.
