Final and terminal ISSC MK22 FAIl!!!

[Dutchdiamondback]

Fellas.

Regret to inform you all that I've returned the iSSC to the gunstore.

It has turned into a truly jam-o-matic. The action is kept tight at the back with 2 small bolts in the 2 white metal parts. Those parts and the frame are made out of such poor quality metal that the holes that are supposed to be round have turned oval and the threading of the vertical bolt has been damaged.

In short: this weapon selfdistructs itself while shooting it.

Final verdict:

I still believe that the concept of this weapon is great. The quality of the materials used ( the metal of the white metal parts just behind the bolt assembly and the aluminum frame ) is however of such poor quality it will not withstand the stress of shooting any kind of velocity of .22 LR ammunition.

bummer, sorry to hear your troubles. What will you replace it with?

Sorry to hear it and thanks for the report.

I have to replace it with a complete bore.

It's proven, reliable, accurate and will not let me down (knock on wood).

But there's nothing exciting about an M&P15-22.

So bit worried about the bore factor...

Ran into issues with my brand new ISSC MK22. Ran about 200 rounds with 2/3 being FTE.

Used CCI, Winchester and Remington. Went home and when cleaning it and noticed vertical bolt was laying inside loose. (what was causing the FTE's)

Also noticed small allen screws holding on picatinny rail were loose along with stock bolts too. Re-installed those with lock-tite.

Cleaned gun thoroughly and re-installed all other bolts tight. (had found the stock bolts loose as well)

Had previously tried several types of ammo and I was getting very annoyed and found Federal AMMO worked great. I installed 3-9x40 scope. Sighted scope in and started getting FTE's again?

Disassembled and noticed bolt was AGAIN laying inside. Cleaned and went to re-install and noticed threads were stripped.

I have made FOUR attempts to contact ISSC by e-mail along with the other 3 names they go by. Made several call attempts. No dial tone, answering machine picks up then hangs up.

I was trying to purchase the new piece (#39) even though it is under warranty rather than hassle and cost of sending it back. I will just tap it out and replace with a larger bolt.

This is one I would NOT recommend and will look foward to getting rid of it.

Do not even try to get in touch with the company. I may write a certified letter but why waste my time?

With a little luck they will recall the gun! (not likely)
