along with stocks, that make the Ruger a quick takedown gun. Coupled with a telescoping stock, 6" barrel (so regular .22lr's are subsonic) scope, see thru mounts, luminous iron sights, and a suppressor, it's a great cache gun for shtf. In case a .22 is all you can access, it should have 30 rd mags, be QUIET, and be concealable, allow both rapidfire and precision placement of its bullet, and be useful in the dark.
