Shot mine today.
Raining as usual so I just zeroed the 1-4 and then shot 400 rounds off hand, CCI Standard.
No ammo issues and for a milspec trigger, that ALG QMS is pretty good.

Compact is the dogs, balance is right and it points nicely. Saw a Calibre Innovations 9mm straight pull last weekend, apparently that can be had with a 12" barrel, and I must admit to being tempted, would be a very similar size and weight to my Lantac 22.
Careful now/that sort of thing

The barrel profile and handguard is really important, the latest incarnation of CI is still using a fairly heavy handguard.

Did you try before you brought one?

The hand guard on your Lantac? You mentioned it was important... just wondered if you tried yours before you brought it?

I know I was after a particular handguard but when I actually got it in my hands I didn’t like it so switched

I've followed the development of the Lantac SPADA handguards for some time. I have the first incarnation the SPADA-S on my CMMG, I have the M-LOK version on my straight pull Raven and now the ML, which stands for M-LOK Lightweight and is the standard handguard on the SF and now also on their Gen II Raven straight pull.

The whole LA-SF15 range was on the Lantac booth at Shot show, with the ML handguards. The .223 version of the LA-SF15 we get here in .22 is the Patrol, which is a very well balanced law enforcement carbine and had just passed tests with the LV PD that month, officially approved. Booth had a lot of local retailers and LEOs visting to check it out.

So while I didn't get to shoot it, the handling characteristics were evident. Throughout the week I visited just about every major manufacturer and got to handle what they have on offer. Most were still too chunky and had no feel of lightness. It's probably only a few ounces heavier than a carbon handguard.

I can't wait to to shoot a 3 gun match with a 16" .223 SF rifle, it's got to be worth breaking into the top 50 at the ProAm.
