I was seriously contemplating a Keltec CMR-30 that Calibre Innovations were/are bringing over but then I saw what they'd done to get the minimum OAL and it put me right off. Rather than preventing the stock collapsing all the way, which was the original plan, they've pinned huge and impractical muzzle brake to the barrel, which apart from ruining its appearance also means you can't fit a moderator 8-) :bad:

Yeah, I never understood that.

Did anyone ever buy one?

Never seen one on any ranges, which might be exactly the reason why, they effect up the wrong end...
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!

I've never seen one. Was going to quiz them at the Northern Shooting Show but, oh well!

I had a lot of fun knocking down Fig 11's with my Mitchell Arms AK74 in .22WMR.

It was effective out to 200 yards with CCI Maxi-mag.

It went when ammunition became seriously expensive compared to LR.
