Description
The Mauser AK47 22 LR is a rimfire rifle styled after the legendary AK, built for Mauser and imported by Blue Line. This is Mauser model 4070024, UPC 713440971051: a semi-automatic 22 LR with a steel receiver, black metal finish, adjustable rear sight and a 24-round magazine.
Mauser AK47 22 LR Overview
Few rifle silhouettes are as recognizable as the AK. This 22 LR version captures that look and handling while letting you shoot all day for the cost of a box or two of rimfire ammunition. Recoil is almost nonexistent, so it is a great way to introduce new shooters to a classic design or to rehearse AK manipulation without burning through expensive 7.62×39.
Classic AK Styling
The rifle copies the familiar profile of the classic AK, with the curved magazine, front sight post and slanted muzzle area. The safety and controls are laid out in the traditional style, so it feels familiar in the hands of anyone who has handled the centerfire version.
Steel Receiver and Adjustable Rear Sight
The steel receiver gives the rifle solid heft and a durable feel. The rear sight adjusts for elevation, so you can zero the rifle for the distances you shoot most, from close plinking to 50 yards and beyond.
24-Round Magazine
The rifle ships with a 24-round magazine shaped like an AK mag, which keeps the look right and gives you plenty of shots between reloads. Spare magazines make range days go much smoother.
Affordable 22 LR Fun
Shooting a 22 LR AK is pure fun. Steel plates, spinners and paper targets all come alive with a full magazine, and the low noise and recoil keep new shooters relaxed and smiling.
Teaching New Shooters
A light, quiet rifle with almost no recoil is the ideal tool for teaching. Start at short range with large targets, focus on safe muzzle direction and finger discipline, and let new shooters build confidence before moving on to longer distances or smaller targets. Short, fun sessions keep the lessons sticking.
Optics and Accessories
The factory sights work well out to typical plinking distances. If you want to add a small red dot, look for a receiver mount designed for this model. A padded case and a couple of spare magazines round out a great range kit.
Choosing Ammunition
Semi-auto rimfires run best with quality high-velocity 36 to 40 grain round nose ammunition. Try a few brands to see what cycles and groups best, then stock up on that load.
Range Day Checklist
Bring eye and ear protection, a few hundred rounds and a spare magazine if you have one. Reactive targets make practice more fun for new shooters.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Rimfire ammunition is dirty, so clean the bolt, breech face and chamber every few hundred rounds, and keep a light coat of oil on the moving parts.
Safe Storage at Home
Store the rifle unloaded in a locked safe or cabinet with ammunition kept separately, and teach everyone in the household basic safety rules.
