“Trainer”
The mfour-22 is also available with stock,
grip and forend in Tan color.
With good taste and remarkable
technical skills, Chiappa Firearms has
created a really well made and faithful
replica; high-strength polymers were
mainly used, rightly so as to contain costs,
but the overall result is surprising.
The upper receiver, barrel and the
magazine would be interchangeable with
those of the normal M4, thereby making
it possible to convert these weapons into
a simple and inexpensive 22 LR caliber;
however, due to the usual bureaucratic
issues related to the National Catalogue,
this possibility does not apply to the
Italian public: to prevent improper use,
Chiappa Firearms has made sure that
the two pins that couple the upper
and lower receivers are not compatible
for mounting on the original M4. The
Chiappa Mfour-22 is a 1:1 scale of the
original: it weighs a little less and has
simplified mechanics because it uses a
less powerful cartridge. It offers the same
feeling, though, and the handling is also
similar (sights, controls, trim, etc.).
