The Whorehouse got me with an email for the Walther Hammerli tac r1 22lr $330 out the door in a week or so. Interesting. Can the barrel be cleaned from the breach?

Thanks. I was inspired by recent events..... While it's not an AR, it's well done I think and hope.
Yes aluminum upper, lower, and handguard. Adjustable for sub-sonic, regular and high velocity.
MM, Thanks for letting me jak your thread.
Not a problem. Let us know how it shoots. My DIY is no tack-driver, but it fairness, I need to put 500 rounds through it to season the barrel. Also I'm using a basic mil-spec trigger.

The Whorehouse got me with an email for the Walther Hammerli tac r1 22lr $330 out the door in a week or so. Interesting. Can the barrel be cleaned from the breach? Third video shows the breakdown, Seems to come right apart into an upper and lower, just push out a pin like a real AR. I have looked at it more since buying than before and I am liking it. Again, it's not an AR, won't take AR triggers etc. But, I think the faux buffer tube is removable so other butt stocks can be attached. Will be curious with the accuracy given it's Euro pedigree. Oh, and it's a somewhat common AR-ish 22LR magazine used on a few other offerings if that matters. Comes with one 20 rounder IIRC. Not sure about that barrel assembly with liner or whatever. Looks fun altogether.

Walther, Umarex and Hammerli all tied together does not instill confidence to me. Just look at what Umarex did with Colt...

The Hammerli gun is built in Germany by Umarex, the same company that gave us the Colt licensed M4-22 that is largely considered junk. Colt didn't build that one and Hammerli didn't build this one.

Okay. Seems to be of a similar design, if not the same... When I get the chance to wring it out, I'll report back.

The Whorehouse came through.
Faux AR Hammerli Umarex Walther
Well, hands on it has the feel and balance exactly as an AR. Mag moves more than I'd like. Aluminum upper, lower and pretty cool M-lok handguard. Butt rattles (duct tape? set screw?) like a cheap AR but I like the 5 positions and rubber pad. I might put it on an AR15. Trigger is wayyyy heavy. Flip up plastic sights are, uhhh cheapass but maybe ok. Someday I will shoot it, hopefully suppressor goes right on. Might be fun.

Back up with questions. The Hammerali is long gone and considering putting together a 22lr upper. Lots of 22lr ammo.
How bad is fast twist 556 barrel for doing this? 2" at 50 yards maybe, or should I be adding a 22lr barrel? if using a 556 barrel, shorter or longer makes sense?
The CMCG Bravo kits are just drop in simple? Hmmm.

I have one of those CMMG kits. I've never done any serious accuracy testing with it. Mostly let my son bang steel with it and a red dot. Works great so long as you keep it loaded with 40gr bullets. At some point I should pop a real scope on it, run a half dozen different ammo's through it to see what it can really do.

I tested a CMMG drop-in adaptor at 50 yards, using a 14.7" 1/7 chrome-lined 5.56 barrel. at 50 yards I got 1.5" with Fed Tgt, 2.0" with 60gr Aguila subsonic, 3.0" with CCI Velocitor. I've been meaning to try it in a 1/9 no-chrome barrel, haven't gotten around to it yet, Pics and details in this post I put up a while back, https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt.../13764559/cmmg-22lr-adaptor#Post13764559
