I have a 22A I recently bought.

The only thing i do not like about it is that the Firing pin is Softer than the Hammer and mine has already worn down to the point (on the hammer side not the chamber side) where it misfired on average of 3 out of 10 BULK ammo casings. This bothered me so I fixed it by adding more metal to the rear portion with my Mig welder, which also is soft and slowly wearing down, but it's still shooting all but 1 or 2 in 50 rounds with the cheap bulk ammo.

I just ordered a new one for a few bucks, maybe it will last longer.
