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 run that merges the familiar AR-14 platform ergonomics with Rossi’s reliable rimfire engineering. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, this rifle is built for shooters who want a lightweight, low-recoil training or plinking tool with a distinct collector’s pedigree. Each unit is individually numbered as one of only 2020 produced, making this a serialized opportunity for those who track limited firearm runs. The semi-automatic action cycles standard and high-velocity .22 LR ammunition reliably, while the adjustable rear sight and fixed front post allow for quick sight acquisition at typical rimfire distances. The polymer furniture mimics the AR-14 profile, providing a familiar grip angle and cheek weld without the weight of a centerfire carbine.

Features & Specs

• Caliber: .22 Long Rifle (22LR) with a 10-round detachable magazine; semi-automatic blowback action for consistent cycling across various ammunition brands.
• Barrel: 18-inch blued steel barrel with a 1:16 twist rate, optimized for standard velocity .22 LR rounds; threaded muzzle (1/2×28) for suppressor or compensator attachment.
• Stock: Black synthetic AR-14 style stock with fixed length of pull; includes textured grip panels and a Picatinny-style top rail for optics mounting.

The Rossi RS22 22LR Crazy Uncle Joe AR14 Edition (One of 2020) ships with one 10-round magazine and a cable lock. The receiver is engraved with the edition number and “Crazy Uncle Joe” branding, distinguishing it from standard RS22 models. Overall length measures 37 inches, and unloaded weight is approximately 4.5 pounds, making it easy to handle for extended range sessions. Safety features include a manual cross-bolt safety and a last-round bolt hold-open that locks the bolt back after the final round.

Who It’s For

This edition is intended for three primary audiences: collectors who pursue numbered limited runs from major manufacturers, shooters seeking a low-cost training platform that mirrors the AR-14 manual of arms, and rimfire enthusiasts who want a reliable semi-auto for pest control or recreational plinking. The .22 LR chambering keeps ammunition costs low, while the familiar controls make it a viable trainer for shooters transitioning to or from centerfire rifles. The Rossi RS22 22LR Crazy Uncle Joe AR14 Edition (One of 2020) also suits first-time rifle buyers who want a functional firearm with a distinctive aesthetic, as the lightweight construction reduces fatigue during longer sessions. Because this is a limited run of 2020 units, availability is restricted to existing inventory at authorized dealers.
