Rock Island Armory TM22 Feather Semi-Auto - .22LR, 18", BLK [TM22-LITE-18]

Why so expensive compared to us pricing. Even the sale price seams a little excessive. That's a huge markup even after the exchange. The website originally had it priced at 369 and then changed it, I wonder why? New to this whole thing so this might be a dumb question but is it possible to order this product from the states?

The price was 369.95 up until yesterday (3/27) evening. Not sure why it changed.

You can. I did.
 
Saw one last Friday, looks very nice. Lots of plastic parts. Looks a lot closer to an AR15 compared to stock conversion kits for Ruger 1022. Itching to get one, but the resemblance to an AR15 makes me ponder to wait for a new Fed govt. Look at what happened to GSG 15/16. Even the Pink GSG 16 (I call it Hello Kitty rifle) was banned. This one looks closer to resembling an AR15. I am still hoping to see a new govt by the end of April. Still keeping fingers crossed.

I had an opportunity to shoot it on the weekend. Fun gun - I will remove the carry handle and the front sight since my old man eyes couldn't see much using those sights, and throw a red dot on it...which I wonder will make it kind of then resemble the regular TM22 that I have with the aluminum handguard. If it turns out to be pretty close, I may just sell one of them. The regular TM22 apparently can take a custom made rear charging handle, whereas the Feather cannot. I may bring both to the club and try to determine whether performance wise one is better than the other. I love the weight and look of this one but taking off the carrying handle and front sight may detract from the original oooh and ahhh factor, for which I was originally attracted to this product.

I think all things considered, even though this is mostly plastic, I like the feel of the TM22 Feather over the now banned GSG-16, which has always felt cheap and has a horrendous trigger.

I ran Remington Thunderbolts through the Feather and everything fed and ejected properly with no issues.

You do NOT need to remove the front sight if you mount a red dot on a Picatinny riser mount 0.9-1.2", available from Amacon.ca for cheap. I have one and it's been working very well. The front site still keeps the carbine's resemblance to a M16/M4 carbine. On the other side, that tacticool appearance may become its curse when the Libs would win the elections. :(

OK thanks. I am lazy so the less to do the better. Is the riser mount adjustable between 0.9 to 1.2 or do I have to order something fixed in that range? So this replaces the low/high mount that would otherwise come with my optic
