Saw this at Cabela's yesterday. Seemed like a fun little gun but I've read bad things about Chiappa who manufactures the gun. Anyone here have one or has spent time with one. What do you think about it? Worth owning?

10/22 based look alike
Have you considered this route?
-RuskieThe Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed - where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

I have been looking at that as well but as I don't have a 10/22 it would be more expensive but possibly more fun as well. I'm definitely considering it though.Have you considered this route?

Turners has it for 339.98Comment

reviews are mediocre. I started looking because of the Turner's price but have been turned off due to reviews and the plastic bits. I think the 10/22 route is how I'll go. That and a wz-48 .22lr nagant trainer are in my future, something about the big brother / little brother battle rifle piques my interestLast edited by Bartin; 03-31-2012, 2:39 AM.Comment

I bought one back when Turners first advertised them. I had several problems with mine not extracting rounds. The rear sight is plastic and flimsy. I am looking for a replacement sight. I haven't shot it a second time yet so do not know if it was the ammo or something else. It does look neat and is fun to shoot (when it works).Comment

Just go the stock route with the 10/22..that will fix your functionality problems.
Plus it looks just as good or better than the wood stock used by Citadel.sigpic"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are."

Detailed info on the .22LR Chiappa M1 Carbine
Here's a good article on the .22LR Chiappa M1 Carbine, including important safety warnings. Very much worth reading: http://www.m1carbinesinc.com/carbine_chiappa.htmlComment

I went the 10/22 - Sarco stock - tech sights route and couldn't be happier. I know I can buy parts and magazines for years to come which I wouldn't be sure of with the Chiappa. Also the Sarco stock is well made. Although, as the other thread points out, they are horrible to deal with sometimes - smooth as butter others.sigpicOriginally posted by Rally DaveHaha....too much AR shooting and you become a wennie!
The cure: Buy a Mosin M44 and shoot 100 rounds as fast as you can. When you can handle that, you are good to go.7.62X54R Скалы

Please read the Calguns Wiki
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.

I would not buy anything made by Chiaapa,they make total trash.Now if a good Company would make a nice M1 Carbine 22 rimfire I would be all over it.I would spend upwards of 500.00 to 600.00 for a quality made one but would not give 10 cents for anything made by Chiaapa..Trust me I know,have made the mistake before with them and so have many others..ThanksComment
