Greetings from Texas,
This is interesting but not sure I’m in the market for one. I seem to recall some years back the folks that made the ‘survival rifle’ that breaks down and stores in the shoulder stock had a pistol version of it. I didn’t get one of those either.
They make a bolt action pistol? That seems unusual.
Just anotehr way around the whole SBR nonsense. Really… the NFA act needs repealed.
I am a little confused as to why you would want a bolt action model rather than a semi. I guess it would be a little cheaper. What is the intended use for such a firearm?
Without a swivel stud for mounting a bipod, I don’t see the point.
So it’s basically a Ruger Charger 10/22 pistol built on a Mossberg action? I don’t like the Charger and I don’t like this, but if there is a market for it, I want Mossberg to make it. They have many other well made and reasonably priced guns for me to choose from, even if I don’t like their latest product.
Looks like a gun meant to be held sideways while holding up your pants with your free hand.
A bolt action .22 cal pistol? Squirrels beware! I want one for sqirrels and bunnies.
I’d be tempted to buy a bolt action if it comes with tall iron sights and a threaded barrel. On that note, does that look like a thread protector on the muzzle? Surely not.
I’ll be looking into these when they hit the shelves. Looks like a fun little 22…add a red dot and lots of ammo and zombies won’t stand a chance….
Is it just me, or does the barrel look threaded? Maybe there is potential for the giant muzzlebrake, like on the 802 Plinkster:

More manufacturers are starting to supply factory threaded barrels (Sig, Remington, Browning). This will be an excellent host for suppression, especially for the $. I just wish the bolt was on the left side for right handed shooters.
