    Anyone ever heard of these? Anyone ever shot one?

    I just won one in a raffle. I've been trying to look up info on it but all I can really determine is that it was ahead of it's time and the magazines were rubbish.

    I think they were a funky looking polymer 22 from 20+ years ago. I thought that they died off.

    Did they bring it back or did you get a used one or NOS?

    The one on GunBroker is a fluted Krieger barrel on a Sako action in a Kevlar-Graphite stock...

    Pistol or rifle?
    The pistol was a polymer copy of the Ruger mkII. Stainless barrel in a polymer shroud that mimicked the desert eagle.
    Way ahead of its time. Magazines were a weird hybrid with constant tension springs.
    I ordered and received one of the first in TX. Once they ceased production, ramline picked up the rights and built a few more. Now, the pistols are kind of a novelty. The magazines are rare and a good magazine is worth more than the pistol.

    If you're referring to the rifle that came along later, I don't know much at all about those.

    Accuracy was phenomenal though. Match grade.

    Im referring to the pistol. This was part of a collection being raffled off so I don't have any info about its condition. I also won a taurus tx22 pistol with a scope on it.

    I'm curious. Is the gun coming out of Arkansas? Thats where mine went when I sold it.
    With a factory holster.

    No idea. The guy running the raffle was out of south Carolina. Apparently he bought a lot from a friend of his and he's going to raffle them off in his group.

    Sorry... I don't have it yet so I don't have pics.

    I also won a taurus tx22 with a scope on it. That one's not much prettier.

    Now that's an odd gun to choose to scope. I'd pull the scope and sell it. Or at least put it on something else.

    I found one last month at the LGS. One of my buddies was looking for a .22 pistol so i told him about it & he picked it up.
    The feed lips on the mag chip easily & his has chips so the bullets don't seat well & causes stove pipes. It fires about 3-4 rounds then jams. We haven't gotten a full mag to run in it. I looked for new mags but they seem rarer than a unicorn. I was thinking maybe could 3D print some if he knew someone with a 3D printer.
