Looks like a worthwhile $5000 .22 rimfire rifle!
A question regarding the magaziness and trigger. Does a new magazine also include the trigger, eg for a new barrel cartrodhe, and can the trigger part be removed from the magazine box?
John, thatīs a good question, which I cannot answer conclusively, because I never handled one of these kit guns.
Anyway, you can buy a magazine complete with trigger

and you can buy magazine inserts, needed in case of barrel change

I believe you will need the complete magazine/trigger unit for a quick magazine change.
I do know that it is possible to loose the magazine and trigger while hunting! Have seen a search party depart after a drive hunt myself, and heard about it from at least 2 hunting buddies.
So then your hunting day is over, and it would make good sense of always carrying a spare magazine and trigger?
My choice is to avoid these guns.
