Kriss Defiance DMK22 or Tippmann M4-22

[tac29136]

Hi all, I'm hoping to get another .22lr semi auto. I have it narrowed down to two options;

(1) Tippmann M4-22 RCR,
....or,
(2) Kriss Defiance DMK22.

Now I'd love a Lantac LA-SF .22lr but they'd cost my in excess of €2000 in Ireland.

Would love to hear the pro's and con's of both rifles if anyone here has experience of them.

Thanks in advance.

I've got a kriss defiance, absolutely love it,
I've not had any issues at all, I've just ordered a new firing pin, not because mine has failed but they are apparently known for going, the new one allows for dry fire? But I doubt i will be testing that theory. The only thing that could be better is the bottom of the foregrip isn't picatinny,

A couple of people at my shooting range have the tippman, they speak highly about them too, so which ever one you go for, im sure you will enjoy.

Hello
Can you get Battle Arms over in Ireland?

Caliber innovations does great ar too

Speak with Ellen from gunshop.ie, they brought a rifle in for me, cost 200+postal fees over the original price so that will be below the 2000 mark

A couple of members of my club have tippmann M4 and love them for the mini rifle series competitions. I have spikes tactical M4 and I've not had any problems with it.

I bought a Calibre Innovations .22 about 18 months ago for 3 gun competitions and I use it every month, I've found it very reliable and could probably count on one hand the amount of stoppages I've had in that time, albeit it's stripped down and cleaned after every outing. The added advantage is it's 'mil spec' so will accept all manner of accessories.

Hey tac29136... what did you go for in the end?

I'm new to the forum, and interested in getting my own semi auto M4/AR .22lr - an Englishman, also living in West Ireland.

The cz scorpion would be a good choice

I have replaced a few firing pins, one gun was returned after having 3.

Just throwing it out there, if you like odd firearms, I have a KRISS vector and a Ruger 10/22 in an SRU bullpup chassis, both are awesome (in my opinion )

I just got a Kriss DMK 22. I previously had a Smith&Wesson 15-22, and also had a CMMG.

The kriss is brilliant. Really like shooting it, feels nicely made with decent quality components.
