Thread: In the market for a 22 AR Platform...

Hey guys, I'm in the market for an AR platform 22 and I've been looking at the Hammerli Tac R1 22 and the Smith & Wesson Mp Sport... the Hammerli won't be in till October and the Smith & Wesson I can't get any info on so far! Do you guys have or recommend any other brands as I'm new to Semi Autos... TIA

Smiths are due @ the end of the mth along with a pile of other rugers . I would bet that the entire shipment is sold out .

NZAR15 has Defiance AR22 s coming. Prob sold out though as well

I own a S&W MP15 which I might be interested in moving at some point, just putting it out there.

But it has been a really decent rifle

Get the Kriss Defiance .22 AR.

From either Tactical Imports NZ or NZAR15.com

Glad you said that .

Yeah mate let me know if you are any time soon id be interested for sure!

I have a Kriss. They are cool as they can take AR parts (furniture, charging handles, triggers, handguards, safetys) and 10/22 barrels. They function like a "proper" AR too (last round bolt hold open with a proper bolt catch, most of the AR-22 that bolt hold open you have to re pull the charging handle).

They aren't perfect and have a few shortcomings but they are pretty neat. Grant from Tactical Imports is the actual company approved importer and so his come with the factory warranty.

Thanks guys for the info I’ve actually just been on the phone with grant from tactical imports and am on the list for the next batch of Kriss 22’s coming in 30 days.. he still has some left if anyone is after one! I ordered the FDE version just couldn’t go past it!

Just picked a Kriss DMK22 LVOA from Tactical Imports. The build quality for the rifle is extremely awesome.

Mine is like that except I have a magpul grip and ctr stock. I would just say the handguard is a tad heavy, it is quite thick metal and uses a proprietary rail system that doesnt have enough cut outs imho. I'm actually going to put a shorter stainless barrel on mine and swap out the handguard for a lighter shorter one I have. I have a Titanium suppressor I picked up cheap so it should be a nice light compact bunny gun.
