I found a new tec 22 in the box with 2 clips, manual, book; everything. 290 Shipped. Pretty good price right? Anyhow I realize these aren't the best guns in the world, but tell me what you think. Thanks Jerad |

That seems about the going price. On the 2 mags, they should say scorpion to be authentic. Of the 4 I had, only one worked flawlessly. I use a Ruger 10 round rotary mag as a standard to test reliability. Also, if your has the threaded barrel, the nut will loosen up, I used an O-ring on it and it is still tight. Eagle 30 round mags work fine but Butler Creeks 25s don't...at least in the Tec-22. |

I bought one with a standard 10 rounder about 6 months ago new, for $110. I put about 500 rounds through it and it busted. The firing pin broke, Theyre cheapo metal. I paid $20 to get it fixed, mistake. less than 100 rounds later, the PLASTIC extractor melted! The gunsmith took pitty on me, and replaced it for free, and now I can't get it to fire more than one round at a time, even using stingers! From what I understand, these pistols are a cheap hit and miss product, sometimes theyre a dream, sometimes crap. I'd say stay away from newer models, and check out older ones real good. Don't buy it is my vote, I was dissapointed, but not surprised. I agree with BobCole. |

I had one of the first ones that came out. The first time I shot it it would triple or double and went full auto once. Just wouldnt do it on command dang it. After sending it back under the recall it was a fun, accurate and reliable little gun. It worked great with Eaton 25 rounders and Ramline 50's. Kinda neat to carry a pistol around that held a whole box of .22 ammo. I sold it right before Brady went into effect in 94 I think. Let it go way, way under what it was worth too. Kinda wish I had kept it. P.S. paid $189 for it new. |
