Overview

The ISSC MK22 is a semi-automatic rimfire rifle chambered in .22 Long Rifle, manufactured by ISSC Austria. It was designed as a civilian tactical trainer and plinking rifle, visually and ergonomically modeled after the FN SCAR. Its straight blowback action, closed bolt, and polymer chassis provide low recoil and affordable practice. Distinctive features include a SCAR-style folding and adjustable stock, Picatinny rails, ambidextrous controls, and detachable box magazines. It is not a military weapon; it is a rimfire sporting arm. In the firearms community, the MK22 is known for its realistic handling and modularity, though it has a reputation for ammunition sensitivity and occasional magazine issues. Key characteristics include a lightweight design, a 16.5-inch barrel, a 10-round standard magazine, and an optional 22-round extended magazine. It is a niche product, often used as a low-cost analog for centerfire tactical rifles. Production has ended, but it remains available on the secondary market.
