I have a 99 with a takedown fore end. Barrel is fixed and chambered for the 219 zipper.
The 219Z and 22HP are so close dimensionally that you can only tell visually by the long neck on the HP.

The zipper works great in a 22HP rotor, but I'll bet the improved case will too.

finding brass is always the issue, no matter which one you choose.

Here's my 219Z
