Rossi RS22 22LR Crazy Uncle Joe AR14 Edition (One of 2020)

The Rossi RS22 22LR Crazy Uncle Joe AR14 Edition (One of 2020) represents a unique limited-run entry in the rimfire market. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, this semiautomatic rifle combines the familiar ergonomics of an AR-style platform with the lightweight handling and low-recoil characteristics of a rimfire. As a numbered edition from the year 2020, this model offers a distinctive aesthetic that sets it apart from standard production runs. Built by Rossi, a manufacturer with a long history in budget-friendly firearms, the RS22 delivers reliable function for training, plinking, and small game applications without the weight or cost of a centerfire AR.

Overview

The Rossi RS22 22LR Crazy Uncle Joe AR14 Edition (One of 2020) is a blowback-operated, semiautomatic rifle designed to bridge the gap between traditional .22 rifles and modern sporting platforms.

With an overall length of approximately 34 inches and a weight under 5 pounds, this model is easy to maneuver for shooters of all sizes.
