    I have one. The stock scratched if you so much as gave it a dirty look, so I sanded it down and linseed oiled it.

    The action is rough but smoothens out a bit with use.

    A guy I know who used them pest controlling for years said that his 5 shot mags tended to lose the floorplate of the mag, and then the spring etc, so he had the worlds smallest tack weld put on one end of the plate, and they stayed in one piece afterwards.

    The 10 shot mags were a problem, as I recall, 5 shot mags gave no problems.

    Mine came threaded for a suppressor, but the thread was cut off center which made it pointless to use one. No big deal.

    It's been awhile since I used it, but as far as I know the accuracy was on a par with pretty much any other bog standard .22

    All in all, a beater rifle that keeps on ticking.
