Buy recommendations Kral KR22 or Adler RF224?

Both of these guns are inexpensive and take 10/22 magazines. The Adler has a nice short barrel and has been around for longer while the Kral is cheaper but is very new. The Adler can also take milspec stocks too. I know both are polymer and Turkish, QC can be hit or miss. Both are cool guns in their own way.

What’s the community’s opinions?

I love my RF224. Don’t let them fud ya out of it. Run 40gr CCI Mini Mag through it and you should be good. I’ve mag dumped hundreds of round through mine and never once had a jam or FTF. Would suggest upgrading the stock though; factory one is a plastic piece of shit

Yeah I already have a Ruger, now I just want cheap tactical lol. It’ll be great to use the same magazines. Thanks for the info!

Basically a clone of the winchester wildcat based on what i could tell from the other kr22 models that were brought in for me to look at. Which is also turkish. That being said im sure itll be as "flawless" as all the cheap turk semi 22s so go with the one you like the look of best.

I have a KR22 and while the outside kinda looks like a Wildcat, it's not inside. It's closer to the TM22 style bolt/recoil spring. I haven't had a chance to shoot mine yet but I have heard the KR22's can have light strike issues.

Good to know.

The Adler does NOT take genuine 10/22 mags. The Adler mags are 1 mm larger and a snug fit, and the 10/22 mags swing too freely in the well. I had 0 success with them. However the Adler OEM mags work 100% for me and 597 mags with the adapter, about 95%.

The only real answer here lol. You should let us know how it is after a few hundred rounds.

Neither. Get a 10/22

"But Tyler it doesn't look cool and it costs more money"

Cool. The kral is shit, the RF224 is shit, and the derya is barely passable.

Get something that will actually work and stop rewarding these companies for producing non functional firearms.

u/Musclecity 26d ago

Yeah I ran my buddies RF224 a couple a days ago and even with good ammo it had constant jams, but I guess it looks cool lol . I never have any issues with my 10/22 .

u/tyler111762 Resident Certified Millennial Punk 26d ago

The Derya Occasionally Jams. the 224 Occasionally works. the 10/22 occasionally outlives its owner.

Honestly I don't usually look at my profile or my profile picture

u/SierraRomeoJuliet 27d ago

Thats probably for the best

u/Hot_Cheesecake_905 27d ago

I would get a TM22 or if you're swimming in money, a modified 10/22.

The RF224 is really rough around the edges. 10/22 magazines may or may not fit, with my RF224 geniune mags and SBI's adapter are loose and don't chamber rounds correctly so I use the Adler adapter w/ Remington 597 mags.

u/CLIMAXJONES 27d ago

Get a 10/22 or even a wildcat if you wanna go cheaper you can get both on sale for sub 400$

u/AresV92 26d ago

Get an old Lakefield 64B with a good bore/crown, a new Savage 64 FV-SR or a Savage 64 Precision in the MDT chassis depending on how tactical you want it to look.

I've had good luck with the 20 round stick mags.

Slap an Aimpoint on her and maybe a grip/light/bipod and you're larping your banned AR as hard as any of us.

I mostly use 40gr copper plated round nose CCI mini mags. They get about 1 failure in 500 or so which is better than Aguila, Browning and Federal. Eley and Norma run the best but are too expensive for my blood to dump them into targets unless it was for competition or something. I don't bother buying Winchester anymore as they are too dirty and fail about once every two boxes. Maybe ok if you're practicing clearing jams.

u/Equivalent-Shoe-1652 26d ago

Tm22 mine runs almost flawlessly out of the box. Saw a review where the kral couldn't cycle more than 2x in a row before jamming.

u/2016YamR6 27d ago

RF224 is great, run CCI mini mag and you won’t have any issues

u/Goliad1990 27d ago

I just wouldn't with either of them. Like others are pointing out, you'd be far better served with a Rugger.

Pellet gun for $300 bucks. Amazing.

u/Master-Editor2668 24d ago

Don’t buy any of that garbage  Build a 10/22

u/BustDownBreacher1301 27d ago

Adlers run like shit so

u/Acc4Wtf 27d ago

Pass on both these junk rods. You already have a 10/22, if you really want something tactical I guess TM22 12" are pretty cool.
