The KRISS DMK22C .22 LR 16.50″ Threaded Barrel — Black is a dedicated rimfire rifle that mirrors the feel and operation of an AR-15, engineered for affordable, realistic training. It cycles standard-velocity .22 LR ammunition reliably through a direct blowback system, and its threaded barrel accepts suppressors or muzzle devices for quiet plinking.

Key Features
- Dedicated .22 LR Platform – Unlike conversion kits, this rifle is built from the ground up for rimfire. That means no jams, no gas-system tweaks, just reliable cycling shot after shot. Why it matters: You focus on form and accuracy instead of clearing malfunctions.
- Threaded 16.50″ Barrel – The 1/2×28 threaded muzzle lets you attach a suppressor or a compensator. Why it matters: Suppressed .22 LR is backyard-quiet and perfect for teaching new shooters without flinch-inducing noise.
- Patented 10/22 Barrel Adaptor – Swap barrels with popular Ruger 10/22 patterns for custom builds. Why it matters: You get the modularity of an AR with the vast aftermarket of one of the most popular rimfire rifles ever made.
- Direct Blowback Operation – No gas tube, no piston, no tuning. Why it matters: Less cleaning, fewer parts to break, and reliable cycling with bulk-pack ammo.
- Full AR-15 Compatibility – Accepts standard AR grips, stocks, handguards, and optics without adaptors. Why it matters: You can use the same accessories you already own, saving money and keeping training consistent.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for families who want to teach marksmanship fundamentals without the recoil or cost of centerfire ammo. It’s also for experienced shooters who need a low-cost trainer that feels exactly like their duty or competition AR. Youth shooters and new enthusiasts will appreciate the light weight and soft report.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Affordable practice, AR-15 muscle memory, threaded barrel, reliable blowback, easy to clean, compatible with 10/22 barrels.
- Cons: The polymer lower receiver feels lighter than aluminum, though it keeps weight down. Also, some match-grade .22 LR ammo may not cycle as smoothly as high-velocity loads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the KRISS DMK22C work with standard AR-15 triggers?
Yes, it accepts any mil-spec or aftermarket AR-15 trigger group. According to KRISS USA specs, the lower receiver uses standard fire control group geometry, so upgrades from Timney or Geissele drop right in.
Can I use a suppressor on the threaded barrel?
Absolutely. The 1/2×28 threads are the industry standard for .22 LR suppressors. Per the manufacturer, the barrel is concentric and ready for direct-thread or QD mounts.
What magazines does it use?
It ships with a 10-round KRISS-branded magazine that fits the DMK22C. It also accepts aftermarket .22 LR AR magazines from Black Dog Machine and S&W M&P15-22 patterns, though you may need to test for fit.
Is this rifle accurate for target shooting?
Yes. The 4140 chrome moly barrel with Black Nitride finish provides consistent accuracy. At 50 yards, expect 1.5 to 2-inch groups with quality ammunition. It is a solid choice for plinking and small-game hunting.
