I have notice there was some other Canadian people on this forum. I am from Ont. What other province's are being represented. I did some rounds off and found the mag to be sticking a lot. When it fed properly it worked nice. Now to sight in and see the accuracy of this older .22lr.

Since i bought the Remington vtr and enjoyed shooting it. I found a new love for the tactical style .22lr's. I have shoot lots of different weapons / long guns over many years I still like to shoot the .22 not just because they are cheap to shoot but you don't get punished every shot you take. As well my daughter really likes to come out and shot with me, I have to keep her interest in the shooting sport alive.

Just an up date on my new used .22lr. had it today finally, put some rounds down range. Worked really well except the mag did not always keep up when feeding, sometimes it would work than it would not. Brought back home and cleaned everything again. Washed the mag out again and polished the carrier and the inside of the mag well. More gun lube in the mag and it seams to be working now. After cleaning I was using my bore scope and found a slight flaw with the load ramp. it is damaged. a small piece is broken off. So small I miss it with my first cleaning. Does not seam to affect operations but still something to watch for. Does any body else have squire bingham/ Armscor m16 style rifle? How is working for you?

I would like to say thank you to all that replied. I can not wait to try this m16 out will be soon as work is getting in the way.

The web site goes direct to Armscor and yes it is the m1600 with the wood stock making a bit heavy around the 6.5lb mark.

Here is an internet pic I found Mine is in better shape and is yet to be fired. I hope it does the rifle justice.

Hi to all you tactical .22 nuts. I have bean monitoring this site for some time now and just need a little motivation to sign up. Well I got that motivation this past weekend after I attended a gun auction. A brief note on myself, I have bean shooting for a very long time and as of this past year acquired a Remington 597 vtr. I have bean very pleased with the performance with it. Making some scope changes till I found the 1 that looked right on it. Most of the brands of ammo I have used worked well cycling through no problems as yet. I have bean watching the forums and followed some of the advice given to others. Now for the reason I joined, at the gun auction I came across a Squire Bingham m16 .22. made in the early to mid 1980's is the best i can find out so far. Its main purpose was as a m16 training weapon for military and law enforcement. That is what I have found from there web site. It appears to be the first tactical .22 made. Has any one else seen heard or shot one? I can not wait to get it out and try it.
