mfour “Trainer”
For fun, but also for training with little expense, Chiappa Firearms is producing the model Mfour-22, a semiautomatic
carbine in caliber .22 LR that replicates the well-known American Military Carbine. Our test revealed that this “tool” is
accurate and easy to manage.
Chiappa Firearms is a modern
industrial complex, producing several
types of small arms destined for the civilian
market: ranging from lever action carbines
to muzzle loading rifles, from revolver
Rhino (Action Arms tested it in issue No
13) to blank guns; some of their products
are branded “Kimar”, some others “Armi
Sport.” The recent opening of a plant in
the U.S. (Dayton, Ohio) coincided with
the expansion of the range to a new trend:
that of semiautomatic weapons caliber
22LR. This product is very appealing in
the U.S. market, a voracious consumer
of these small but precise and enjoyable
cartridges, as well as a major consumer of
22LR weapons. So far Chiappa Firearms
has included in its catalogue a replica of
revolver Colt SAA 1873, pistol Model
1911 and M4 carbine; another model
inspired by the Beretta 92 FS pistol is
shortly expected and, later, a .22 cal rifle
resembling the .30 Caliber M1Carbine.
In these pages we will talk about a weapon
derived from the U.S. Army M4 Carbine,
i.e. model Mfour 22 caliber 22 LR.
