Thread: Cool Firearms That Are Now Legal

There's a whole lot more if you include rifles with pinned folding stocks to make overall length.

GSG MP40 22 LR

ISSC MK22

HK G36 22 LR

Sig Sauer SIG522

Beretta ARX160 22 LR

We can also now attach pistol grip, collapsible, and folding stocks to any other semi auto 22s and shotguns we already have, as long as the overall length is still 30" or more. So feel free to pimp out your Ruger 10/22, Marlin 795, Remington 1100/1187, etc.

If you have anything you'd like to add to this list, please feel free.
I think we could all do with some temptation right now...

Just to clarify that I understand you (or not) in the case of shotguns with a folding stock, is the mandatory minimum 30 inches measured with the stock opened and locked or folded?

I'd like to see a shotgun 30" long with stock unfolded. Tight patterns?



Nice wee bullpup .22wmr, but sorry, can't have her like that - she's born 29.5" long.

For .22WMR??? Actually, looking closer at that thing it looks cool, but agree with @Max Headroom insofar as ugly in function. Imagine that muzzle brake so close to your face. Better remove that and replace with a perma-mount suppressor to also lengthen, but by which stage you'll only get 70% in the next buyback...

The fugly is strong with this one. I sense a disturbance in the force.

Not that common.
Seem to be more 17 WSM versions ones around.
Check out the Franklin Armory F17 series.
The prices will make your eyes water though.

I'll be on the look out for good 22 mag semi too (with multiple mags), along with possibly 150,000 other NZ shooters. I like the look of this one, anyone want to import a bunch?

Ken At NZAR15 might be interested. He's also got a few Troy PAR's, in case that floats your boat.

There are 22 Mag AR-15s, but they aren't easy to find and you'll be paying double what a CZ 512 Tactical will cost.
That said, it was still remiss of me to leave them out, so here you go:

These are made by an American company called Ray-Vin, but are no longer listed on their website.

These are made by a British company called Northwest Custom Parts. They're good, but very pricey.

https://nwcustomparts.com/product/nw...mr-semi-autos/

The Tanfoglio Appeal, also known as the EAA Appeal, is a wicked cool bullpup in 22 Mag, although it would need a tiny bit longer barrel to be legal here.
Appeal Rifle - Tanfoglio - European American Armory Corp

I'd also like to make some honourable mentions of non-AR 22 Mag Semi Autos that you might be able to find.

The Savage A22 has a cool delayed-blowback system that allows better consistency with different brands of 22 Mag ammo.
Magnum Research makes a Ruger 10/22 type rifle called the Magnum Lite .22 WMR.
Volquartsen makes eight Ruger 10/22 type rifles. These are the Fusion Take-Down, Lightweight, Superlite, IF-5, SF-1, Classic, Deluxe, and Inferno.
The CZ 512 is still available in non-tactical models as well.
The Excel Arms Accelerator is a space-age-looking rifle that is still available in 22 Mag. Their reliability record is mixed, but there are good ones.

If you're including rifles that are no longer in production, there's a decent selection:
Heckler & Koch HK 300
Brno ZKM-611
Harrington & Richardson Model 700
AMT 22 Magnum Hunter
Marlin 922M
Remington 597 Magnum
Ruger 10/22 Magnum
