What do you recommend? Looking for something that’s reliable, easy to build, uses a 22LR barrel liner, and a minimum number of hardware parts. I attempted a Harlot (I believe it was v1.1) but only got light primer strikes. So I want to try again. I still have some barrel liner left over. I don’t want to spend more than about $20 on hardware parts.
Ideally it would have a 16" barrel, or if not it could be easily modified to have a longer barrel. It can be single shot, but bonus points if it can shoot more than one. More bonus points if it has a UFA-compliant option.
Hitchhiker is one of the cheapest 22lr builds but the hardware from MAF, including the barrel, is still $80.
I was just looking at that one. Since I have barrel material it’d only be $50. But any $50 I get right now is going towards the debt.
$20 is a hard ask, but 10/22 hybrids like the Decimator or the Galileo R2 are perfect. You need a bolt and mags, preferably you’d throw a real barrel in as well but the proto-barrel can be substituted.
I want to like it but it’s out of my budget right now. I’m in debt paydown mode so toys have to be super cheap. Thinking of doing a Songbird since I have most everything I need.
This hobby is not cheap xD
It’s worth it though, after you move to decent rifle cartridges it becomes a viable means of defense.
Easy 22 build is the EZ22

Think I’ll try a Songbird, even though it has the heavy trigger pull. Wonder how difficult it would be to modify the breech to accept a drilled-out dime?
And then some time later a G22v4 to get a long boi
