American Tactical Imports are bringing in a new .22 chambered AR-15. The Varmint Killer VK-22 is made by Chiappa Firearms and features an AR-15 lower receiver and a dedicated .22 LR A3-style upper. The lower can be used with any AR-15 upper.

It ships with either a 10 round or 28 round magazine.

The MSRP is just $499.95. I think this looks like a bargain.

    Chippa has a reputation of poor customer response to questions and service. I have the M-4 22 upper and it has not been a good investment for my money. It has had to go back for the fireing pin and when it came back the paperwork stated it was tested out and functioning ok. Uppon inspection of the upper I noticed the barrel was so loose it was about to fall off, no way the upper could have functioned this way. Just beware!
