I agree with Tarantula, they look longer than earlier ones though the ad says 21.5.
I bought one of these from Marstar in 2017. It went back. I looked up the correspondence. Issues:
- safety would not engage
- front sight at far left in dovetail but rifle shooting 3 inches left at 15 yards.
- magazine was nearly impossible to get out
- 1.5 inch groups at 15 yards with various ammo.
Now this was my experience, YMMV. Really liked the look and feel of the rifle but boy it was rough.

My favourite Norc of all and the only one I've kept has been the Olympia 22 pistol which Marstar was selling for $199, just before team Trudeau screwed us. Just a fine little gun, all steel..

I stand corrected... these look about 3-4 Inches longer than the original ones. I'll have to pull mine out of the safe and take a peek as it's been a while and confirm! Very interesting for sure!

I can agree with Arcosdad that the original ones have a very small and narrow mag release and makes switching mags a slight pain in the butt. Sights I can't confirm as I haven't taken it out in quite some time.

Good buy on these new units!

PS, I picked up an Olympia at the same time and agree that its a very slick pistol! Wish I would have bought 5 of them.

Also very happy with my pre pistol ban Olympia from Marstar. Feels like quality and the take down is the easiest I have ever seen aha Just have to look for wood grips again.
 
I didn't have any issues with mine, I just think the slightly longer version looks awkwardly disproportionate that's all. If they brought them back in the same configuration as the old ones I would buy.

Very very interesting, if these pictures are anything to go by, not only is it a bit longer, but the 5 round mags sit a little proud of the lower part of the magwell now? I'd be really curious to see one in person and compare it to mine which was from the batch before production shut down last time... Honestly I'm glad to see them make another come back, one of my favourite .22's that I've ever shot, hope some more people can have the same experience.
