The Retay RA1522 .22 LR pistol in the 10-round version is a low-cost rimfire that follows the AR layout (brand part no. RA1522PST-BLK-MLOK-10). Retay USA builds it with a black polymer frame, a foldable brace, flip-up front and rear sights, and an M-LOK forend. The barrel measures 8.5 inches, and a thumb safety handles the controls. Retay designed the RA1522 as an affordable way to train, plink and ease new shooters into the AR platform. It is a good match for a range bag or a first rimfire.
