I wish I would have purchased one of these a long time ago.

Price is fair and shipping is fast from the above.

I got mine last week and spent about 15 minutes properly fitting it. It came with some things to make it work with different trigger pull lengths and it takes awhile to get it in the correct position to work with your rifle. After setting it, it hasn't needed any more adjustment after a few hundred rounds.

Also it came with a little copy of the ATF letter saying it is legal.

Anyways, it feels like you might break it easily, since it is all plastic, and I wouldn't recommend over-tightening the screws or dropping the rifle on it, but I haven't busted mine yet.

At first, I had some FTF issues in my 10/22 using Winchester bulk ammo.

I switched to Federal bulk ammo and have no issues using Ruger factory 25 round or Butler Creek 25 round magazines. It smokes through the magazine in what seems like 2-3 seconds as fast as I can turn the crank. It's pretty comical watching it spew a little stream of brass out the side. Lots of fun.

So far, the only big down side is the 2-3 seconds of fun requires a few minutes for reloading those magazines.

Also, since it takes some time to attach and fit to the trigger, it kind of makes the rifle dedicated as a Gatling-rifle, but I did find I could just slow-fire it without a problem.

I was firing off-hand using a scope which also made it kind of difficult to concentrate all my fire on the 30" TV I was shredding. The instructions recommend using a bipod for best accuracy, which I will do next time.

Get one!

I had gotten one of them back in the 80's, for the same price no less, and kept it till about 5 years ago and sold it to a buddy. Man, I need to get it back or get another one. Some of the most fun you'll have with almost any firearm, not just my 10-22.

You need to get a 50 round drum or a mag loader.

If there was a 50 round drum out there that worked reliably, I would own it.

and had to have it... especially since its only been out for a year- I am sure at some time some idiot will get them outlawed too.

I saw that one was getting good reviews on sportsmans guide I think.

I'll have to do some forum research and find out what more people are saying.
