Rhineland Arms was making one. Used P-90 magazines and ejected down through the magazine well. I see their web page is no more, so I'm not sure where they stand. They were doing lots of 10/22 stuff also, and it was being discussed in the 10/22 forum.

Rhineland ARMS was working on one, but I don't know if they are still in business?

What 'Good things'?

It's got the ternminal performance of a .22 Magnum, combined with the shooting cost of a .458 SOCOM.  It does nothing the 5.56 can't do better.

Umm, you might want to check your math Forrest, I did a quick and lazy Google search and found the 5.7 for $18.13 per 50, about $0.36 per round which is pretty close to what 5.56 is going for nowdays.

That's a better price than you'll find around here.  At any rate it's more than what .223 will cost (I can get Wolf locally for $5.50/box).

Not to mention the $50.00 or more per magazine for the P90 magazines.
