they actually work!

The only problem I've seen is that the barrel tends to be leaning over a bit. When the barrel nut is tightened on, th eplastic receiver gives way on th etiming pin. Thus, you may not be able to sight in yer irons.

Your are better off going with a CMMG. I have a Chiappa and though it functions fine, I have had a few problems along the way.
A search of this forum using "chiappa" will present multiple references to issues.

My next build will be a CMMG and I'll use the Chiappa when I have friends that want to go shooting but need to borrow a rifle.

Thats 299.00 more than its worth and if you have to pay shipping you really lose big......

or for $400 get a S&W.

BUT NO mossberg. No NO.

The Smiths are alright but they are half plastic too..We went the CMMG dedicated upper route and assembled a Aero Precision lower for it and never looked back,great accuracy,"real" AR lower and upper reciever with no plastic and we can throw any 5.56 upper on the lower or throw the CMMG upper on any lower or change the .22 barrel out and throw in a 5.56 BCG and its a 5.56..Cannot do that with the Smith,it will always be a .22....

We considered the SW but because of what I stated it was a easy choice to go the CMMG route..A little more expensive but well worth the price differance..I would also suggest if anyone goes the CMMG route to get the stainless bolt assembly from the start,we had the Parkerized bolt at first but upgraded and it did function 100% realiably but the stainless is so easy to clean and stays cleaner also..Another to avoid is the Colt made by Umerax,I cannot believe Colt put their name on that one....

Nothing against anyone buying what they think they want but just handing out some friendly advice..
