Anyone tried this yet? Is it even out? Im dying for a 22 upper that isnt way over priced even if it looks as ridiculous as a calico.

Don’t get your hopes up. I contacted them years ago…I mean years ago. They said it was coming soon. Never happened. Vaporware!

They made one small batch once. like 10+ years ago when they were in Cornelius ,OR

I know of 4 that exist of a reported dozen+- that were in that batch.

I did not get one....it was sold before I got my m11/9 from previous owner.

Every so often there's an update from them, "We have top men working on it right now".

I've called them but they never gave me any useful info except I'd be put on the list.

not sure I understand why anyone is interested in a complicated piece of equipment that is seemingly going to have zero support (based on actions to date) IF (big if) it ever actually comes to market.
I dont think I've ever seen anyone actually talk about how one of the existing units runs, either.

maybe theduke can shed some light on that?

also feel like if it was actually going to come to market, there's been plenty of time to make it happen and/or hype it up for interest.

Two weeks! It will be the best upper ever. People are already saying it’s unlike anything anyone has ever seen... I’ll believe it when I can hold it in both hands- we’re more likely to see a 20mm upper before this .22 upper exists.

And I have 4 Calico 22 drums …

My bad ...I was referring to the 9mm uppers.

Just realized my F up.......don't hold your breath on anything newer.

I'd like to think different as they are still an Oregon Co.

Why even hold the business name if you got nothing going on?

Maybe they will chime in and astonish all of us...............

They so still make the Calico firearms. I've actually visited them in Oregon and got a tour. They have quite a few machines.

the 9mm one runs great but is weird. the 22 never ran and was never released. The american 180 upper from tac inc is the one that should have been produced.

Which city were they in when you visited?
Cornelius or the new location?
