This video details a custom Ruger .22LR pistol built to replicate firearms from the movie 'Assassins'. The build involved shortening and threading a Ruger Standard Auto barrel for a suppressor, adding a unique shotgun bead sight, and addressing technical challenges like the lack of a last-round bolt hold open. Testing with various .22LR ammunition, including subsonic rounds, highlights the pistol's unique performance characteristics and its effectiveness as a quiet suppressor host.
The Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Lite offers a significant improvement over previous generations with its one-button takedown system, making disassembly and reassembly much simpler. This 'Lite' model features a lightweight aluminum shroud and a pencil barrel, contributing to its reduced weight. It is suppressor-ready with a 1/2x28 threaded barrel and performs quietly with subsonic ammunition, though magazine compatibility is limited to the Mark IV series.
The Keystone Crickett Precision Rifle (CPR) in .22LR offers a modern chassis design and impressive accuracy, especially when suppressed. Testing with CCI Standard Velocity showed groups around 0.336 inches at 25 yards. Its features, like an adjustable cheek riser and improved loading follower, make it an excellent trainer for young shooters, with the reviewed model being the first production unit, serial number CPR 00001.
