Single shot .22?

Post by DoctorSolo »

Does anyone know of a single-shot, break-barrel or bolt-action rimfire pistol?

I think it would be a quiet host and fun plinker. I learned from having airguns that sometimes the process of loading a single shot weapon can make each shot more satisfying. Bonus if its giggle quiet no?

Thompson Center HotShot, its styled more for a kid but an adult can use it pretty easy.

Can't help you on the pistol part but the above applies for rifles.

The ATF doesn't say no, its just gonna cost you $200 for a configuration you want.

But if you start with a T/C pistol, you can go back and forth from carbine to pistol configuration, correct?

I should be seeing a couple of stamps any day now. One for a Sparrow, the other for a T/C Contender SBR. Already have a 10" 22LR barrel threaded and ready to go.

As soon as a stock goes on the firearm it is a rifle. Can't be a pistol again without a $200 stamp.

You can as long as it starts off as a pistol.

I know that's generally true, but I thought the end result of the lawsuit with T/C was that those with carbine kits could freely go back and forth. At any rate, I won't have to worry about it in another week or so.

I have a Neos and the carbine kit for it I switch back and forth all the time. It is legal to take the stock off though when going form a pistol to a carbine you have to change the barrel FIRST or you have made a SBR. I know of nothing that would make converting a pistol into a rifle and back again illegal other the the ORDER of the assembly.

No need for a SBR TC as they are so damn short even with a 22Lr 16" integral barrel :mrgreen:
