Tactical 22lr

I have two of those - one like in the video, and one with the collapsible stock. Pretty good shooters, and pretty reliable, but stripping the gun for a thorough cleaning is a genuine nightmare (that having been said, you can shoot 'em until the crud is falling out of 'em in chunks, and they still run fine).

Armscor/Squires Bingham semi .22's were made in many styles & configurations, but all had pretty much the exact same barrel & action. The 1600's are a far cry from an accurate copy of an AR - more like a "stand off 30 yards or so, squint your eyes, and it kind of looks like one...", but they are a fun plinker with a reasonably tactical look. Mags are getting harder to find, although some are getting creative in adapting mags from other semi-auto .22's.

Here are mine...

very cool, I had never saw before before that gun show I was at, and having had no feedback I didn't feel comfortable "pulling the trigger" on the purchase, funny thing about it is I remember taking a good look at that mag and I though that looks real similar to my marlin 795 mags, of course the bottom does not but the feed end is real close, kinda wish I had of picked one up now after your feedback, maybe something that would fit the OP's wants

Yea I tryed a lot of diffrent ammo in it.
presently shooting Remington gold bullets.
It is the reason I dropped 600$ on my SR10/22 ...
That one will shoot darn near anything i feed it from the Ruger 10 rounder.
Sometimes a bit finicky with a GSG Mag.
but thats the mag , not the rifle.

I have shot the 715t new
Dirty Cleaned and oiled.
3 in one oiled.
(Upside down).....u dont wanna know lol..but sometimes the fireing pin hits low.
failing to set the round off , at that time the ejector wont grab the round.
so ya pull the mag recock the action..flip the pos over and it fires every time lol.

I have disassembled it and looked it over (Major pain in the butt)
Even tweaked the fireing pin lightly (still will do it from time to time)
Though 3 or 4 mags thru it lately without the FTF problem.
it loves to stovepipe a round on top of the round going into the chamber...

Should i keep going lol...

I wish i had never seen it lol.

Thats ok though , it was fun for the first few mags....

That only partially describes the headache I went through with mine. I tried every kind of ammo that's available. I tried modifying the mag's. Polished the bolt and receiver. Modified the ejector. I could never get more the 6 shots in a row and that was with CCI stinger.
 
Nope, the su22 is great. I have one for sale on EE. There is a Am 180 drum conversion for the su22.
275 round drum of happiness.
I bought a 15-22 so I dont need the su anymore.
