This gun is so light and with 30 rd of 22mag you shoot forever but at $450 the back 2 site red optics kept backing out and i fell off while i was shooting it. At 100 ' it was rite on the tree targets i gut up.

I haven't shot mine much, but like it so far.

I heard there were some 'issues' with them but don't remember what. Was it firing without full lock-up...?

I'm guessing this is the 'nail' version..."W3Zxx" serial number.

Guess there's a forum for them (of course) - http://www.thektog.org/forum/f90/
and good-ol' Hickock45 has a review - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti9bs-7 ... detailpage
and so does a guy named 'Nutnfancy'

Nothing like 'answering my own question' but I had some free time this am to browse the net...and found this link on "PMR-30 generations"

Wonder if the Carbine version will ever be available...

I'd really like to play with one of those but the gun show this weekend they were $600 and $700.

While my revolver to automatic ratio is about 35-1, that's an automatic that caught my attention.

30 rounds of 22 mag? Interesting....but the thought of buying the ammo scares me a bit. What's 22 mag up to these days....$15 a box of 50?------6

Last .22 mag ammo I found was at a gun show and it was $22 per box of 50.
I saw one of the csarbines at the last show I attended and it was new in the box .Looked good but I am still leery of these.
Years ago I owned an Automag II in .22 magnum and it was a wonderful and accurate pistol.It was all steel and not polmer.

They had a brick of 200 for $60 but i forgot who made them.The only time the gun failed ,and we had to figure this out.Was while loading the last 10 rounds in the clip ,if you dented the casing pushing it in it would not cycle that round. Other then that if worked perfect. I never loaded the mags so i know nothing on how hard they were to load. It felt like a squirt gun that held a gallon of water

If you have the jamming issues PMRs seem notorious for, there seems to be a simple fix-- Quality ammo. Cheap WMR has thin walls that crimp and buckle while being inserted into the mag, leading to multiple failures. The other fix seems to be downloading the mag for the same reason: Less pressure on the rounds (oops. I see that was mentioned).
