Adler Jager AP85 .22 LR FAMAS Bullpup Clone
I picked up this oddball today from a local estate. It's an Adler Jager (Armi Jager) AP85 imported by Mitchell Arms. The Italian company manufactured several .22 LR versions of famous military rifles including the M16, Armalite AR-18, AK-47, British SA-80, Galil and FAMAS. I believe this one dates to the mid 1980's and appears unfired. It came with only a single magazine - no box or papers. It seems to be of reasonable quality using a combination of steel stampings and aluminum castings. There is little information available on line re: these rifles. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

my only input is FAMAS looks funny with wood furniture. but otherwise pretty cool!

I think the furniture may be plastic. Looks similar to some of the bakelite (?) stuff found on AKs and early Armalites. Neat gun, though!

I had a 22 cal AP74 Jaeger M16 clone. I shot thousands of 22's through it as a teen. Finally traded it in on a Ruger 10/22 when the sear wore and it started to double. Great fun.
