AMT AUTOMAG II .22 MAGNUM

The AMT Automag II .22 Magnum, particularly this early 6-inch model bearing serial number M06700, represents a groundbreaking engineering achievement from its 1988 manufacturing run in Covina, California. Developed under the guidance of legendary firearms designer Harry Sanford, it stands as one of the first commercially successful semi-automatic handguns capable of reliably cycling the high-velocity, rimless .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire rifle cartridge. To overcome the extreme chamber pressures that typically cause rimfire brass to stick, AMT utilized an ingenious, patented delayed-blowback system featuring 18 tiny gas-relief holes drilled directly into the chamber wall. Constructed of sleek, matte stainless steel and weighing in at a balanced 32 ounces, this early-production firearm features a distinctive lightened slide cutout and premium adjustable Millett target sights, solidifying its place in firearms history as a uniquely powerful, soft-shooting classic highly sought after by rimfire collectors.
