It will shock many to you to learn that once or twice in my life I have made a mistake¹ . Yesterday you bore witness to that rare occurrence. I blogged about the Anschutz MSR RX22 but completely missed the fact that is it clearly a variant of ISSC’s MSR MK22 rifle patterned after the FN SCAR.

ISSC’s MSR MK22

Anschutz MSR RX22

In retrospect, I don’t know how I missed that! In my defense, the last time I fired the MSR MK22 was about 18 months ago, and I have a bad memory! Fortunately I have you, my intelligent readers, to catch my mistakes quickly.

I suspect the reason Anschutz licensed another gun is that the ISSC’s MSR MK22 can be produced much cheaper than their .22 semi-automatic Model 520.
