Chiappa Firearms sells the M1-22, a leisure-shooting, varmint rimfire reproduction of the most manufactured 20th Century American military rifle!

A great classic of the American arms industry comes from Italy... in a funny style: Chiappa Firearms introduces the M1-22 semi-automatic, rimfire sporting carbine!
Franco Palamaro
The M1 carbine saw active service with the Italian Army, Police and Carabinieri for a long time - hence why Chiappa decided to pay a tribute to this design!

The Chiappa M1-22 carbine can mount the original fixed and folding stocks of the vintage M1, M1-A1 and M2 carbines

The M1-22 represents Chiappa's homage to a great classic of the global arms industry and history

The M1-22 is so faithful to the original that, if we still were in the 1940s, it would probably be adopted as a trainer rifle for recruits!

Metal parts are very well crafted on the M1-22 - actually more than they often were on the original wartime M1 carbines

Have fun for less: a .22 rimfire chambering allows sports shooter to plink for longer, saving high-caliber ammunition for when it really counts!

Franco Palamaro
Controls configuration on this rimfire replica is so faithful to the original that it could be effectively used as a field trainer

The magazine follower dubs as a hold-open device activator when the gun runs out of ammo
