Whats the deal with these? Just saw one for the first time at the LGS. Fingered all over it pretty good, and it seemed to be decently made. They wanted $299 NIB with the black synthetic stock. But Bud's has them for $249.99 with free shipping.

I know they have some plastic parts (what doesn't these days) And I already have some 10/22s (and no, I don't care for the 10/22 M1 stock) Just thought it looked like a neat little plinker. For $250 shipped, I was going to get two...one for me and one for my ol' man for Christmas.

I heard these will fit in a genuine wood M1 stock with minimal to no modification.
I already have one, and can get another dirt cheap from the same guy. Soooo. are these reliable and accurate enough to enjoy some cheap pop can blasting?

I APOLOGIZE IF I'M BEATING A DEAD HORSE. I know these may have been out for a while, but I live in a cave and haven't seen one till today.
