What dod he say about barrels?

 

[KDX]

It will accept some aftermarket barrels.

[mcwalther]

Would I be right to assume it will be restricted?

 

[OldSavage]

Compatible with 10-22 barrels. Interesting

 

[little_airwolf]

10/22 or AR barrels?

 

[KDX]

10/22 or AR barrels?

AR barrels would probably be chambered for 5.56 so I don't think it would work. I could be wrong though.

 

[langbanger]

I'm guessing 10/22 barrels. I'd also be interested in the restriction class. Might have to do more digging, though it will be quite a while before it's available.

 

[bigdyno]

I bet it's restricted, if the HK416 clone in .22 got the R rating this one probably will too, sadly.

 

[little_airwolf]

AR .22 barrel or a ruger barrel?
Both attach differently.

 

[CanGunNutz]

Looks like a really nice rifle. Hope the make it north of the border before too long.

 

[Mr. Friendly]

any word on this rifle? I'm keen to get one.

What's the point in buying a restricted 22LR rifle? It could only be used at the range.
Obviously, if it would be classified as restricted which I guess it would be as anything restricted that is even remotely related to the "AR" in this country of ours. And the price in Canada would be likely close to $650-700 for a restricted 22LR carbine? Not for me.

 

[Mr. Friendly]

it's no different than buying a restricted .22LR pistol.

cheap to shoot and fun!

What do you mean by "a restricted .22LR"? If you mean a .22LR HANDGUN that makes a big difference at least to me vs. a restricted .22LR rifle!

yes, I forgot the word pistol.

different strokes for different folks.

I prefer to shoot cheap .22LR than more expensive center fire, so if I can get a reliable .22LR in an AR package, color me interested.

Both restricted 22LR rifles and non-restricted 22LR rifles shoot the same cheap (relatively) 22LR ammo. So there is no difference here. However, the restricteds can only be shot at the range. I do it regularly with my 22LR pistols and I have no problem with it because that's the ONLY way I can use them. No other alternative exists.
Non-restricted .22LR rifles I can shoot nearly ANYWHERE (obviously where it's legal to discharge a firearm). That's what makes a big difference to me. Why would I pay $650-700 for a restricted Defiance DMK 22 Rifle (or whatever AR in .22LR) which I could only shoot at the range? Makes no sense to me.

 

[Mr. Friendly]

like I said, different strokes for different folks.
