USFA's newest creation... A ZipGun?

[jandbj]

This has to be one of the strangest guns ever built under the old Colt dome in Hartford...

Strange... But I want one! Emailed suggesting factory SBR with stock & 1/2x28 threads for a can too.

 

[beaker]

ummmm. I don't know what to say about that one...

For "Operators" everywhere, lol.

 

[soam]

Putting aside the ridiculous "Operator" BS and its ugly appearance...

If it's functional and reliable, $200 MSRP for a 22LR pistol isn't too shabby.

 

[Zappa]

They should stick to what they do best, which is making the finest SAA replicas in the world.

 

[GunGrey]

Dont get the appeal

 

[exo]

So "Operators" use a tiny .22LR mounted on the rails of their rifle, huh? I don't think I'm cool enough for one of these.

 

[Rugerfan]

Would this not be a short barreled rifle when mounted on an M4 or other long gun? Have to ask yourself "What would the ATF do?"

Yes it would.

 

[jdigga221]

Kind of seems like the answer to a question that no one would ask.

 

[Trouble]

I don't really see a point, that said if I were in a gunstore buying ammo and saw it for 200 bucks i'd probably buy it for the hell of it.

 

[hminsky]

I totally do not get what the point is.

 

[Zappa]

To be different.

At least it accepts commonly available Ruger 10/22 magazines.

Just don't watch the video on the website linked in the OP...you'll be left wishing you had that 5 minutes back

Are you kidding? It was hilarious!!!! The very first words on the screen are Operators, welcome.

I should have listened.

 

[Zappa]

Operators, welcome.

Like those that can't be sold in Ma. ? They must be junk .

 

[Zappa]

Yeah, I know they're not Mass compliant, but they're far from junk.
I've handled a few and they are certainly drool worthy.
If they were Mass compliant, no doubt I'd have at least one or two in my safe right now.
The quality is absolutely superb, and the bluing is the finest I've ever seen, rivaling the original deep Coltguard Blue.

And the case hardened models are real bone case hardened, just like the originals, with all the beautiful colors that only the original process can render.

They're not Mass compliant, nor ever will be, because they're faithful recreations of the original with the hammer mounted firing pin, without a transfer bar or other modern safety devices.

....

Drool, I'm not a SA kind of guy, but those are gorgeous.

 

[ColdDayInHell]

Every mall ninja's wet dream. Looks pretty lame, but yeah Zappa, at least it has the 10/22 mags. Those things are indestructible and feed flawlessly.

Agreed. I love my Single Six 22/22mag conversion revolver, it's an excellent choice to train new shooters.

ATF will probably rule it an AOW anyway, since it doesn't look like a gun.

I'm not sure what it looks like, other than an ugly piece of crap with no functional purpose.

 

[Bonesinium]

Does anyone have one of these? Would anyone actually admit it if they do? This looks like the dumbest firearm created of all time.

 

[RImike]

I have boxes of .22 rat-shot, I wonder how this would fair with it.

I miss her - she was great
