10/22 .22 WMR (22 Magnum semi-auto)

[webb22]

Yes, its a 22magnum! You don't see these very often, especially in this condition...

Great 22WMR semi-auto rimfire and takes the 10/22 to the next level IMO!
Its very powerful, accurate and reliable.
It likes a diet of CCI and Federal copper jackets (solids) and cycles them very well. (I've never bothered with the ballistic tips, because I found these reliable and devastating rounds - especially at longer distances, so I didn't see the point)
I now have a Volquartsen Fusion takedown in the same calibre, so this is now surplus to requirements. (or i would never consider selling it!)
Its in very good condition, bar a few minor marks to the stock and little circular rub mark on the barrel at the stock end from an over barrel mod that i tested on it once. But as you can see from the pics, its hardly noticeable.
Its screwcut 1/2" unf and therefore the front open sights have been removed.
Its had a trigger job which is very good IMO. And a different (wider) cocking handle installed. Plus auto-bolt release and recoil buffer installed.
It also has an extended butt pad for a better LOP. (I have the original somewhere, but i'll have to did it out.)
It comes with one magazine. And a Weigand picatinny 'ranch rifle' scope rail fitted that wasn't cheap! (very good bit of kit - very popular with mini-14 owners). I found the fixed position scope rings very restrictive, so invested in one of these and works very well with Q/R mounts. And i had a red-dot on it for a while as well.

In case you don't already know, the magazine, bolt assembly + housing is completely different from a standard 10/22. Its a bit longer and very solid (steel), well made and has a nice weight to it - feels very meaty compared to a standard 10/22, which it needs to be to handle the magnum round in semi-auto (blow-back) mode. They were only made for a short period of time ('98 to '06) because they were very expensive to make. It was even rifle of the year (USA) when it was introduced!

They are very popular in the States, but very rare, so do command a premium their side of the pond.

I'm after £600 plus any RFD transfer fees, which i think is a fair price considering the condition, modifications and accessories listed above.
(You'll need a 22RF slot on you ticket)

now for the eye candy... (happy to email more pics to those who are genuinely interested)

Thanks for looking
Jon

Can you tell me if this is compatible with 10/22 aftermarket stocks?

the action is longer than the standard 10/22 because it is WMR, so it won't drop straight into a standard 10/22 .22lr stock I'm afraid.
however, it is the same configuration, so a bit of inletting around the mag well and trigger area (visual inspection) and it should fit i think, but can't guarantee it, because i haven't tried it ... i was gonna do this to fit a spare boyd evo stock i have, but never got round to it - especially since i got the volquartsen fusion!
