Military grade weapon?

[J.B. Books]

Just what is it? I have a Ruger 10/22 that is almost exactly like what the Israeli Army uses, is this carbine military grade?

Looks like they are calling it the SR-22. I can't tell if the barrel is a bull barrel or if the supplied barrel is ported along the length and silenced. If I were a user my complaint would be that rotary magazine. It would be hard to make accurate shots with a throbbing, sore thumb. Not being critical, I have a 10/22 too.

LOL, with improper heat treatment, a faulty gas system, or no issue cleaning kits?

A few shots in the legs gets an out of control crowd on the move, that's what I was told a while ago.

At the time of the Revolution militiamen were cautioned that their muskets could not be of "bastard bore"-i.e. anything other than the .75 of the Brown Bess. How well that was enforced of course.....

I sold my 10/22 years ago (late 70s) because I had two magazine failures
which transformed the rifle into a club.

In my experience, the ability to shoot well in full auto mode is like being able to micturate through your ear -- an interesting trick, but of no combat value.

The Soviets issued large numbers of selective fire PPSh M1941s and fully automatic PPS M1943s. Easy to manufacture, easy to rain conscript troops on, and their tactical doctrine emphasized heavy use of artillery.

Are we still speaking of a 10/22 in a full auto mode? A 22LR is not going to have a recoil problem plus a 30rd mag will empty in less than one second. Those that have experienced F/A 10/22's say you can not hear the distinction between shots, they fire very fast.

F/A mode control depends mostly upon the cartridge and the weapon. An M2 carbine is very controllable. An M16 with the 3rd burst is very controllable. A MAC10, Thompson or M14 no. After about the 3rd shot you're shooting the sky.

I am not in combat,

have no issue controlling a lot of NFA stuff,

BAR is a bit tough from the hip, but excellent on the ground,

the more modern stuff, not hard at all, with practice,
