I kinda always wanted one of these, so last year I sent in a form 1 and bought an old late 60s era Ruger Mk1.
The form 1 finally came back, so I spent a day out in the shop.
The plan was for a 6061 monocore and a 6061 tube with a front sight boss built up using tig, and machined to accept the stock sight blade.
I ported the barrel so that any standard supersonic .22lr ammo would be subsonic through this gun.
The rear bottom of the barrel has a 1/16 pin pressed in, which mates with a notch in the tube to keep the front sight indexed.
The CAD work:
The finished product, cerakoted in Cobalt.
It's pretty quiet, with a mildly annoying first round pop, but definite comfortable without earplugs.
