As a 10/22, it shot really well and was quite fun since it is much smaller and shorter than my other rifles. The LOP, even with the fixed stock, happens to be perfect for me. There was some stovepiping, but overall it was much more reliable than my Adler RF-224 and more accurate and reliable by than my Pietta PPS-50 too.

I am very impressed with the barrel; it is super accurate for a 9-inch and looks great with the carbon fiber wrap. With the front compensator, the total length is 10.5 inches. However, the front compensator came loose, which is a bit disappointing considering the price of the barrel, but I am sure I can retorque it or resort to blue Loctite. The shorter barrel also gives the gun a lot more oomph than my target 20-inch 10/22 or a stock 18.5-inch 10/22. The barrel is not as lightweight as Volquartsen makes it out to be, however.

I do need a new trigger since the stock one is heavy and my finger got tired after 500 rounds.

The gun fed fine with the SBI 597 adapter, but the 597 ProMags really suck and failed to feed a couple of times due to the follower getting stuck. Hopefully, the ProMags get better with use, but I can already see the plastic chipping.

I used various ammo, including CCI Mini-Mag CPHP 36gr, Winchester 555, Remington Golden Bullet, and CCI Standard Velocity and this particular gun gobbled it all up.

πŸ˜‚ I specifically bought the 10/22 Model 31241 for the BX25 mags.

The distributor or whoever pinned the mags did it with very little slack - I can barely get 10 rounds into the mags, sometimes only 9 depending on how the rounds are stacked in the mag.

If only we could get unpinned BX25 mags, they feed much better than the crappy 597 ProMags.
