Keystone Arms Chipmunk pistol in .22LR.

It was 10", I've had my (now retired) gunsmith lop it to 4 1/2", and recrown. Even with the flutes, there's enough meat for a 1/2x28 thread. The front of the cut stock was Acra-Glas filled to give it a somewhat finished look.

Can is an AAC Aviator. Pretty good little can, though the rear cap wants to come off the tube when it gets hot.

My guy crowned it nicely, and did such contact surface polishing as he could on the trigger surfaces. Trigger is long, but light, likely about as good as one of the simple guns can be tuned. The things are ludicrously simple.

Hollywood Quiet is not hard to achieve with this. Internet wisdom says EVERYTHING .22LR is subsonic out of a 4 1/2" barrel. Any of a number of subsonic rounds will do it. No port pop, of course.

Basic Primary Arms red dot. This requires a proprietary rimfire base, and on that is a cheap Chinese Picatinny adapter. It's rinkydink, but it works.

Ergonomics are awful, and no left hander would ever want to try shooting this thing. It's big and bulky, but very light.
