Well you can get one of those brand new at CDNN for 279 or so without the crate.@triplestack3 worth picking up the 22LR rifle? I don't have anything in 22 except for The Heritage Rough Rider that's mainly used as a gag trade offer
My take is that it's grossly overweight, like ww2 heavy. If you are gonna get a 22lr, get a gsg mp5-22 style rifle. They are smaller, lighter, and i believe they have a pic rail. Also around 229 at CDNN.
the StG44-22LR is a head turner with high novelty factor, but it wears off. I'd even suggest getting a Ruger 10/22 before that.
