RF224 11.7” Review?

CCI mini mags through full 597 mag no issues, but the blazer ammo stove pipe every few rounds.

The 3mm barrel allen was loose out of the box.
 
Well, I'm back fellas, went to the range today and after about 4 mags the bolt locked back. And after examination the bolt has broken allowing it to fall out of its channel.
Does anyone here who has both a ruger 1022 and adler rf224 willing to try swapping in the 1022 bolt assembly? Would be handy before i order one. I'm also going to reach out to the vendor and see what they say.

Edit: looking at photos of 1022 bolts i dont think it would work cause of the ejector "blade" in the adler.

Send it in for warranty, hoping you have a better experience with the replacement
 
So what is the deal with these? Sensing they are a kind of 10/22 clone under the hood?

Not getting a warm and fuzzy on the reliability front.

The extractor is interchangeable, the charge handle and main spring/guide might be interchangeable, other then that no, the more i get into it, it's not a 1022 clone, cause i was ready to just order a bolt, but it definitely won't work.

I definitely can't recommend one, and I likely wont be keeping mine.

You probably just saved me a bad experience so thanks.

The gun "looks" right. Size is very compact for any sort of action run-and-gun type games.

I had concerns about it being Turkish. Seems the build can be hit or miss. Thats where a 10/22 feels like a better bet.

I also think a 10/22 would give way more options for aftermarket goodies as they have been around forever so if this was a clone and could accept these parts that would be a plus but sounds like that isn't the case.

Its getting sent into the waranty/repair facility, they've actually been really great to talk to so far,
I really hope i get this one back, with a new bolt, i really really don't want to start troubleshooting one from scratch again.

Not much meat there

22wmr single shot, but it was a 22lr single shot anyway.

After opening up the first bit of the chamber it can pull cases out much better, it actually did 5 back to back 597 mags with 15 rounds in them with only one stoppage 😱
It's not 100%.but the more i fiddle with it, the more usable it seems to get.


Hello, what type of bit did you use? I seem to have the same problem...no ejection, ejector is only grabbing it out 1/3 out...Thank you

Sandpaper taped to a toothpick, don't get to overzealous, take your time.

Yes SFRC (also where i bought it) hopfully quick turn around, im ready to play with it some more.
 
just bought mine a few days ago before reading any reviews (i know stupid) I assumed it would be a pretty good little fire arm took it to the range yesterday just giving it a quick cleaning before I went having a similar problem where the cartridge only ejects about 1/3 of the way, I ordered the SBI extractor and plunger kit last night and I’m going to get some CCI singer high velocity rounds. Hopefully those will run better. Should I keep it or just try to sell it before I get to invested
 
how many rounds did you get through it before this failure occurred

Somewhere between 3-4000, that being said i didn't get it "working" until after 2000 rounds or so. I gave it ample time to "wear in" And i don't think wearing in had anything to do with getting it to function.

After seeing the catastrophic bolt failure in this thread, I'd be very hesitant to run stingers through one of these guns. After the mixed reviews and now this failure, I've completely abandoned the idea of having one of them in my collection. Sucks because they sure do look nice.

shoot, hopefully not a universal thing i’m definitely worried long term but it sounds like they will warranty it still shouldn’t be happening after 4000

Stingers are not a solution.
Just a Gun shop tactic to try and make it work for you.
No way am I spending 20 bucks a box for ammo to make a 22lr spray gun function

i’ll have to try to get it working with cheaper lower velocity ammo i suppose
