BEWARE Citadel M1 Carbine 22 cal

[SmokeEater2]

I know this is an old thread but I just saw one of the Citadel M1 type .22's at a shop yesterday.

Any more user reviews on them from guys that have been shooting them?

I have one I purchased when they first came out . Had some very frustrating feed & jam problems and I was not happy .
Luckily I had registered it and lo & behold I received a recall notice .
Weapon now fires smooth and flawless as fast as I can pull the trigger .
Recall was handled quite fast and efficient and I was quite pleased .
I own a 1943 Quality Hardware carbine in near mint condition , and when I lay the side by side it's difficult to tell them apart except that the original has the non adjustable flip sight
All in all ,, I like it ,,, absolute fun weapon

Have a brand new repro M1A1 stock that's just hanging around not doing anything, and thought it might be interesting to use on a .22 of some sort. Had briefly considered inletting it for a 10/22 barreled action, but I'm retired and that's too much like work.

I know this is an old post, but if anyone is still interested the manual says that the stock is interchangeable with the original M1 carbine.

I bought a synthetic M1-22 stock for one of my USGI carbines, perfect fit.
