Kral Arms KR22 Tactical

[u/TadpoleDirect7816]

Sorry in advance as im not a review guy but i wanted to give some input on this rifle and i haven’t seem much on it.... so here we go

​

​

Finally got the Kr22 tactical out to the range today with a buddy and got roughly 600ish rounds down the tube before I ran out of ammo and called it a day, S&B canadian match ammo, will test different brands next weekend.

​

First thoughts, its a full polymer/plastic upper and lower aswell as the handguard, feels nice, super light, and has little to no wiggle (feels solid), build quality is better than expected for a 300$ Turkish semi 22lr, comes with backup irons and a muzzle device.

​

OEM mags are garbage, i better luck with the small box 10 round ruger 10/22 mags, the bx25 pinned mags gave me more trouble for some reason but still better than the mags it comes with, ergonomics are nice but the saftey is super stiff and kinda sharp, trigger feels cheap and clunky, and the folding stock doesn't like to stay folded but again... 300$ i can't be too picky.

​

We ran around 600 rounds of S&B canadian match, 3 light strikes, 27 failure to feeds and sometimes seems like it was trying to load 2 rounds at once, it would eject slow and some empty casings got totally crushed by the bolt coming back forward before it made its way out of the chamber, I regret not taking photos of the malfunctions as maybe someone could have given some insight since im not super firearm savy, I will be trying different brands and velocities to see if it will run better, rifle feels great in the hands and does scratch the itch a little with the takedown pins and saftey location,

​

Hopefully I can figure out how to get it running better as it's definitely fun while it works!

Maybe try polishing up the extractor claws. I had similar FTEs on my TM22 when I first bought it and took some fine sandpaper to the extractor and it fixed it, just wasn't releasing the shell before the bolt closed. Might help.

These things are cool looking, nice to have another tactical 22 available, I like the look of them, almost bought one a while back

Thank you! Ill take it apart and give that a try this week, I did a quick disassemble when I first got it and couldn't figure out how to get the bolt out before I had to go to bed so I tossed it back together and said "ill figure this out later" lol.

It is nice to have another tactical option, I also really like the look of them, gives that AR style without breaking the bank.
