It’s a Remington 597 butchered into an airsoft body (I have a defence).
Still needs some fettling to get it all lined up, at the moment it just takes the 597 mag but at some point I might try and hack something together out of the airsoft magazine shell.
Is it perfect, hell no, but I wanted a lockdown project

Re: New H&K .22 SA80 Trainer
They are part of the old H&K kit, I don't think they work with the A2 but it's a .22LR cartridge conversion kit similar to the Ciener kit (which CMMG et al copied). I believe there is a similar thing for the A2.Adamdavi3s wrote:How do they currently work? A conversion kit?Mattnall wrote:That's the current .22lr magazines. I have some here.Sandgroper wrote:
The only reason I can think of, is so they don't get mixed up with the "real" magazines...

Re: New H&K .22 SA80 Trainer
My guess is that it'll be worn out L85A2s that are refurbed and then fitted with the existing H&K .22 conversion kit. Maybe with a new dedicated .22 barrel, or more likely with the sub calibre adapter chamber bit from the kit bonded in place. I can't see H&K making a new rifle for a (probably) very small order...
A number of years ago Sabre Defence had a .22 L85 on their stand at the IWA show. I don't think that version will be going anywhere though...
