I went into my local shooting range and saw what looked like an AK-47S (folding stock) behind the counter, which is odd because they are illegal in CA.


I ask the clerk about it, and upon further inspection, it's not an AK-47 at ALL, it's an AK-22! It shoots .22LR. Priced at $200, I had to get it. Comes with a 10 round mag that looks like a 20 round AK banana magazine. To the untrained gun person, this is an AK, looks exactly like one if you didn't know what you were looking for. I was very surprised.. it shoots really nicely... Far better than that Stupid POS Sig Mosquito ever shot. (I shot 50 rounds through it, 10 were rapid fire, not a single hiccup... and it was brand new.).

Its made by a company called "Armscorp".


I can't find a single picture on the interw3b either! Damnit.

Funny little gun... I like it. I hate .22, but this this is pretty damn cool.

I know what you are talking about. They are made in the Phillipines by Armscor....the same company that makes Charles Daly and Rock Island Armory 1911's.

Mind if I asked how much you gave for it? You know they have actual Romaian AKs converted to 22lr as well. I think they are about 250 bucks new. I was thinking about getting one fo those.

Glad you got a 22 that works. You should see the Armscor AR loooking 22...its goofy as hell.

I paid $200 for it... I couldnt pass it up.. I knew you would have some insight to it.

I wish I could get a real one converted to .22, but alas, its not.


Damn CA

The reciever is different so you might be able to adn the mag body is the standard 30rd but its only 10. I will have to check if the ditributor sell it to cali out of curiosity.

Hey I have no other hobby but cars and those are just way too expensive.
