ISSC MK22 Review and issues

[weneary3]

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. Over TWO weeks and numerous attempts, not reply.

I contacted the gun shop and they will not purchase any more as well.

I may write a certified letter but why waste my time?

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

Sorry to hear it. It seems ISSC is having a lot of problems with the MK22 and I believe they may have been discontinued.

I hope you get yours straightened out.

Just took mine out today and put over 250 rounds through it,with only one hanging up. This gun is a blast.

Yep.

A blast.

Mine fell apart at the first visit (stockfail) to the range and again after approx. 1500 rounds.

And that time it was terminal. Threading on a tension bolt was completely destroyed and a number of holes where the pins fall in had turned oval.

Good concept, extremely lousy pick for materials.

I hope your gun will last. Mine didn't.

Seems like they are hit and miss,Iam struggling to find extra mags for it though. Any insight on that?
