Thought I had posted my 22RF rig previously but seems I didn't.
A nice Gevarm E1 semi-auto carbine takedown. Fires from an open breech and not difficult to make fully auto, hence were banned in Canada and a few other countries.
Has a spring guide inside the action which can be changed around to opposite ends of the breech block spring in less than a minute for high velocity or subsonic ammo making operation with any subsonic ammo 100% reliable.
No firing pin or extractor, just a ridge across the face of the breech block giving two points of contact to the cartridge rim ensuring very positive ignition, misfires are unknown. Left hand lip of the magazine acts as an ejector as the fired case is blown out of the chamber.
Gevarm E1 Carbine
I don't know if they are still around but Rubi (made in some South American country, can't recall where) used to make a copy of one of the Gevarm versions that was also fired from an open breech and could be converted to full auto easily, apparently, so I'm told.
