| I got mine in the summer of 94 just as the original AWB bill was gaining momentum in the Klintonista congress. Its a really simple blowback design with a simple disassembly. I fired entire bricks of CCI blazers through it without a cleaning and it worked fine. I liked its breakdown ability and lightweight a lot. |

I believe that Feather Industries is indeed out of business. However, the product line was taken over by Feather USA. I have a Feather Industries version of the AT-22 which I sent to Feather USA for a little refurbishment December of last year. It's a very small operation, but they were nice folks to deal with.
One thing I had them do was to replace the pistol grip and trigger assembly with their improved version. At about $40-50, it was well worth it. I also purchased a RAV-45ACP rifle from Feather USA last April. Again, it was a pleasant transaction. They don't seem to ever update their website, but the feature that attracted me to the RAV-45 was that it is now designed to use Glock magazines (although it does not yet say so on their site!). Regarding the AT-22: It is a very accurate little rifle (actually, so is the RAV-45). It doesn't operate worth a damn with bulk 22lr ammo, but mine runs just great on Mini-mags. You have to take a little care inserting the magazine, as their design does not lock it into place as solidly as any other magazine fed rifle I've ever shot. I don't find this to be much of a problem once you learn to be a little gentle when inserting the magazine. All-in-all, I find this rifle to be a whole lot of fun to shoot. It needs more cleaning than a 10/22 requires, but it's not hard to take down and reassemble. It's very light and compact when the barrel is removed and the stock collapsed. It really is a good little 22 for backpacking purposes. One important note: the Feather USA model (called the RAV-22) does not have a collapsible rear stock. It is a post-ban configuration. The rear stock is removed and inserted into holes through the forend handguard for storage. Take a look at the video at their website: http://www.featherusa.com/ -TB |

I also think outfitting a 1022 like this would be neat where can I find this combo?
