When you think Mossberg are only making Shotguns they pull this neat little number.
It's a neat little carbines to hit the market in .22LR It's made in Brazil under license from Mossberg and comes with 1 x 10 round magazine. Pro's High-capacity magazine's are available (25 round) and it comes with AR-15-esque furniture as standard. Weaver / Picatinny rails x 4 (3 on the fore-grip, 1 on the carrying handle / manual sights). Useful carrying handle and sliding stock. Light and handy (only weighs 5 lbs). Most AR15 mods will go on (but not all!). Can use both scope (if fitted) and manual sights without having to remove scope. Affordable (only $300) plus ammo is dirt cheap as it's 22lr Very little to rust as the only metal parts are the trigger / bolt carrier / breach and barrel. Short and compact, only 16 inch barrel. Handy for tight environments. Cons Short barrel Strip-down's are awkward. The AR-15-esque shell must be removed first entirely which is fiddly with 13-15 screws to take apart and this also can through off a zero'd scope slightly. Not very rugged. Safety catch is not ideal for ambidextrous users / left-handers. No threaded barrel so work would be needed for suppressors etc to be fitted Subsonic ammo (that we've tried so far) must be manually cycled. I rate this about 6.5 to 7 out of 10. Good but not the best. Here's the cleaning saga... How to takedown / strip-down a Mossberg .22LR Carbine. A long and drawn-out process, but worth for such a great gun. What do you folks think? Anyone own one of these unique carbines? They are quite characterful! Last edited by Watch Ryder; March 18, 2017 at 10:08. |

Correct me if I am wrong but from the takedown video the 715 is a 10-22 looking rifle in a drag.

The carbine furniture is overlaid over a receiver and barrel to a fair standard.
The Smith & Wesson M&P 15/22. is comparable in some ways but heavier and more expensive. |
