I gotta know, what is with your addiction to .22? Why would you want that many .22’s? Is it because they are so cheap and you can go shoot something completely different every other day and not feel the pain in your wallet as bad?
you cant beat shooting 3 cents a round for hours and hours.
when i shoot my AR15, i lose interest shooting 50 rounds of .223’s after 5 minutes. im more eager to shoot my .22 conversions.
sometimes its a hassle to interchange them from different stocks. i want a 1:1 ratio (1 .22LR in each stock), so its easier for me to do cleanings.
also eventually i get to hang each gun on my wall when i build a man cave.
being a civilian in california, there’s a lot of things we cant have. these scaled replicas are the closest thing i can finger bang while having cheap fun plinking at the pistol range gallery. i know ill never get close to shooting a real M82, M200, M249, M60, Bren, MG42, BAR, TAR21, L85, etc. so i went .22 conversion route
if i had $10,000 to buy a real M82 Barrett or M200 Cheytac, i wouldnt buy it. id rather just buy a bunch of .22LR’s and create clones out of them.
