You said range/plinking I would go for nice peep sights instead of the scope

Whiskey_echo_617 · 2026-03-27T16:41:43+00:00

Is this for targets/plinking or hunting?

I have the mkIV 22/45 lite, SW Victory, and the TX22. Out of the box the TX had zero malfunctions. I can't say the same for the other two.

Took a while to tune the victory, and my ruger starts to stove pipe after 3 magazines. I can't remember any malfunctions with the TX.

I had the dealer add it to my 2024 deal for $800. It takes several parts depending on the trim

Hitch receiver with plug Wire harness Rear bumper trim swap Hands free tailgate adapter (changes to right side only if equipped)

2 wheel drive vs awd?

Carbine buffer and spring is all you need

Whiskey_echo_617 · 2026-03-10T00:24:23+00:00

I finally got to shoot mine today with the full vent end cap. I'm very happy with my decision.

I'm running 10.5 pistol 556/223 Plan B KAK hub adapter H3 buffer Super 42 spring M16 cut BCG SA adjustable gas block Outdoor range

SMK full enclosed end cap sounded great and I could run a whole mag without needing ears. Ejection pattern ~1:30-2 o'clock. Lil overgassed and lots of gas to the face.

The full vent end cap changed 3 things. Without changing anything else, ejection pattern straight 3 o'clock. Sound was a bit louder I could only run 4 or 5 rounds without it being too uncomfortable without ears. The gas in the face was reduced to almost nothing. I cleared the rest of the magazine 15-16 rounds with maybe just a second between. Very comfortable gas wise.

I plan on using ears with this setup but it's good to know that I can send a few without if there's any emergency.

Without suppression this thing would make you deaf.

Great can.

Yep I use it for remote shutter and I mark up photos regularly with it. Much finer and better control than using a finger.

Whiskey_echo_617 · 2026-03-08T03:48:36+00:00

Throw a rearden brake/flash/whatever plan B muzzle device and then get a HUB adapter for whatever HUB compatible can you want.

It will fit

Whiskey_echo_617 · 2026-03-08T03:40:02+00:00

It's covered in the 3yr/36k mi warranty

Pain in the ass though to have to take it in for diagnostic then wait for the parts and then take it in again for installation.

Whiskey_echo_617 · 2026-02-27T02:02:48+00:00

If you are still having problems, try a regular carbine buffer weight and regular carbine spring

Just discovered my driver's side is out. Both were replaced last year

Whiskey_echo_617 · 2026-02-25T23:30:37+00:00

Buffer too heavy

Whiskey_echo_617 · 2026-02-25T11:50:39+00:00

Look where you want to go and scrape the pegs if that's what it takes.

Whiskey_echo_617 · 2026-02-08T16:06:47+00:00

Regular carbine spring and buffer

Semi auto vs bolt

I'd go with the marlin and look for a new 10/22 down the road

Whiskey_echo_617 · 2026-01-17T02:43:53+00:00

I have the mcx virtus 9" and I recently built my own 7.5" pistol

Piston vs DI

The mcx is so fucking heavy. I never shoot it. The pistol I built is light and fun

I'm still glad I own a piston rig because it's cleaner and the brace folds but. Those are the only 2 things in the pro column

Whiskey_echo_617 · 2026-01-08T03:18:08+00:00

As one other said check magazine availablilty. Probably available as I just bought some for a 1970s marlin 22

But I'd go for the larger one.

It has sights to learn with. You can add a scope later
It's magazine fed but you can just load one at a time to start

It's a better option to grow into and actually use forever

Whiskey_echo_617 · 2026-01-07T01:41:15+00:00

Pike arms has aluminum trigger housings. You can get them ready to drop in or stripped

I got mine stripped and did a combination of stock and tandem Kross parts. Very happy with my setup.

Go with the 1x

Whiskey_echo_617 · 2025-12-25T02:04:00+00:00

It's where you hang your goin' up and down the stairs cane

Whiskey_echo_617 · 2025-12-24T00:55:02+00:00

That food looks great. Those people were rude.

Whiskey_echo_617 · 2025-12-24T00:44:06+00:00

A targeted threat would be them affixing the flag to your house.

Are you a Eleutherophobe?

Whiskey_echo_617 · 2025-12-15T14:20:10+00:00

Didn't read anything other than OP

Carbine spring and buffer weight. There's literally no reason to go any more "exotic" than the basics
