Sorry about the interuption, Dinner called. Anyway. I thought as long as it does not have a stock on it, it would not be consider a SBR just a pistol. And vice versa, If you have a pistol and put a stock on it, you would need to have have a barrel that was 16" put on it and all would be legal...
So any way. I was quite dissapointed in the gun show and not finding a 10/22. I ready to hit the road when on the last table, I saw an Intretec TEC 22. He wanted $200 and I snatched it up. I knew very little about the company or the gun but, what the hell. Positive features. I would not have to spent $100 on a Crapangel stock kit, It takes the same High Cap mags I already have. It has a threaded barrel, wrong thread pattern but thread none the less and the barrel is less the 5" so it will keep my bulk ammo subsonic. The top swings open and the bolt and guts are right there to clean. It fit better in my hand verses a Charger and weighs about half as much and one day when evil weapons are banned again, maybe it will increase in value.
Now for all you hard core 10/22 fans and that the charger would beat it hands down. I don't know about that. I would have had to buy the gun. The charger would need to have some type of optic put on it. Buy the stock kit Archangel ($150) or the Nordic Componets ($250). I would have spent a $100 to cut, crown and thread the barrel. So easily I would have $600 in a pistol that the TEC 22 can do for $200 + $35 thread adaptor.
I tried to do a search on the AR15.com on the TEC 22 and really could not find anything about it. So - What do you think? I will post pictures as soon as I get them..
