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

Overview

The Rossi RS22 22LR Crazy Uncle Joe AR14 Edition (One of 2020) represents a limited-production rimfire carbine that merges the familiar AR-style platform with the economical .22 Long Rifle chambering. Produced as a commemorative run of only 2020 units, this model features distinctive markings and a lightweight polymer build designed for plinking, small game hunting, and recreational target shooting. As a semi-automatic rimfire rifle, it offers a reduced-recoil shooting experience while maintaining the ergonomic layout of a traditional AR-15 pattern. This specific edition is part of a numbered series, with each rifle carrying individual unit identification. The Rossi RS22 22LR Crazy Uncle Joe AR14 Edition (One of 2020) is chambered in .22 LR and operates via a blowback action, feeding from 10-round or 25-round detachable magazines. The barrel is constructed from carbon steel with a matte black finish, and the receiver is a two-piece polymer assembly that reduces overall weight to approximately 4.5 pounds. The rifle includes adjustable rear sights and a fixed front sight post, with a Picatinny optics rail for mounting red dot sights or scopes. The stock features an adjustable length of pull and a ventilated handguard for heat dissipation during extended shooting sessions.
