Don't know much about them but did some searching for you. This list should be interesting to you.

Thanks AZ that will keep me busy awhile

I like how some complain it is not a target Rifle or real accurate? LOL..Was never meant to be I am sure..It is more in the style of a survival backpack take down plinking Rifle.. To me it was bought for just what it is..A fun plinker and somewhat scarcer one not alot of people have....I have plenty of more accurate and somewhat boring 22 Rifles..This just adds more spice to the collection..

Some complain it is takes a long time to load..I actually think it goes pretty fast..After all you are not loading just a 10 round mag here..It is going to take longer than a ten rounder does to stuff in 100 rounds

 

Are they still being made? I thought the company closed years ago…

 

Yes they are.

 

I also wanted one. Neat concept on the magazine. But at today's ammo prices I think my 5 round M69 is a money saver. Shoot five -eject reload place mag back in....wait the guy with the calico has burned 50 rounds already.

Nice find..not sour grapes..enjoy.

 

welcome,

from what i understand they are still made. Not sure what versions..

but they made a carbine version with wood/walnut furniture and i thought they were much nicer in appearance for those wood lottery seekers.

and they made a 50 round mag too that fit the pistol.

just a note from my research along time ago, the clutch would give/wear eventually and you could not provide enough winding force to feed, so if you plan or want to keep the toy, you may want to look for some "rebuild" kits out there. I think the last time i was looking at them they were 50 bucks?

tehy also made a 9mm version too. And the 9 pistol full auto was in the "tango & cash" move along with the cool urban RV.

good luck

 

Calico offers every replacement part needed for them and accessories too..Parts are not a problem at all..

I do not think the clutches just gave out so much..I think it was more a cause of how some people think If 20 cranks is good, well 40 must be much better,LOL

Mine was made early on in Bakersfield, CA when they were still there..Mine still has the patent pending dates on the receiver..Later they added dates to that as I understand it..

Though this will not go out often..Ammo is not a problem for me..I can blast away at will..

 

This is an old post, but..

I've been working on one of these.. the mag doesn't quite feed the bullets into the chamber- the tip gets stuffed into the flat part of the barrel above the chamber.

Could you snap a pic of how the bullet sits when sticking out of the magazine and ready to feed? I'm trying to figure out if it's just a case of a bad mag and something I can adjust somehow. Unfortunately we only have one mag on hand. It seems like the tip of the bullet needs to drop down another 1/8" to feed right. Tried several ammo brands with the same results.

Thanks!

There was a problem in the earlier Guns that Calico is aware of.. I sent mine in and they fixed the "feed throat" .The problem was sort of a feed ramp issue. This could be your issue.. The barrels just needed a small bit machined off the top edge of barrel chamber..

 

I had a feed problem also. Then I noticed that the barrel was too far into the frame area and was not flush with the frame. If I backed off the barrel nut just a little to make the barrel flush, it would feed any .22lr. I had 1/16 of an inch of the barrel cut back, just enough to make the barrel flush. Now it feeds any .22lr you load in it with out any malfunctions at all.

 

A mite pricey today.

Carbineone,

That's what I was thinking the gun needed... can you send me a picture of the back chamber end of your barrel if it isn't too much trouble? I'll machine mine to match yours. It's easier than trying to send it back to them to do it, I just need to know what to shoot for.

Thanks!

-Dave

 

BTW, a friend of mine has a m950 9mm pistol out of state. That one runs like a sewing machine.. not terrible for accuracy either. The .22 was decently accurate, comparable to a mediocre factory barrel 10/22. But we were single loading it.

-Dave

 

I can but next week...Yeah I was going to do mine myself but I just sent it in as I also sent a defective mag they repaired also..

 

Thanks! I won't mess with mine until I see what they did to yours. I'm afraid of over cutting the ramp 😬

My mag does need a new metal strip thing.. that holds it together. One has cracking at the ends.

Thanks!

-Dave

 

Ask them...They will probably just send you out a new one.. Get back to you later on..

 

It is our lucky day.. I actually have a couple photos that Calico sent me themselves..I am thinking bak a few years but maybe I did mine myself when they explained it to me..If I did I would used a Dremel and a little cone shaped stone..They told me it was easy to do..I do remember that..You do it at the top of the barrel of course as the rounds feed downward into the barrel..

Here are two pics..They told me it only take a small amount of material to be stoned off.. I do not know why they sow the two arrows..But it is the black circled area that you do on the top of the barrel..

Hope they help..You can also call Calico and ask them for guidance if need be..They were always very helpful to me. And I recall the fella telling me it was easy to do the mod..

 

Thanks!!!!

I just did mine with a rubberized abrasive stone. There was already a little ramp there, but it didn't go very high. I made it go up more, but made sure not to bring the existing chamfer forwards if that makes sense.

It'll feed mini mags and automatch fine now. It does mush the tip a little, but that's probably how it is. It won't feed western which is pretty flat and cylindrical.

Good deal.. Yeah Mini Mags and even CCI SV always worked good in mine..I always tell people if a Firearm does not work with CCI, then yeah the weapon has a problem..LOL

They are odd looking Rifle.. But I kinda grew fond of the looks after a while. But I kinda like the different type of stuff.. I even owned an Edsel at one time...That never did grow on me no matter how much I looked at it..LOL
