What’s Included
- Armi Jager AP80-22M semi-automatic rifle in .22 WMR
The AP80-22M is a semi-automatic, simple blowback design built to emulate the external handling of the AK platform. It uses an AK-style tangent rear sight and a protected post front sight, along with a ribbed, removable top cover. The barrel measures 17.7 in and is threaded.
Construction includes a cast aluminum-alloy receiver core with a stamped-steel outer cover, plus steel front and rear blocks. Wood furniture consists of a fixed stock, wood pistol grip with longitudinal serrations, and a wood lower handguard with elongated ventilation slots; above it is a non-functioning metal gas-tube cover (no separate wood upper handguard). Length of pull measures 14.0 in.
The rifle carries Italian commercial proofs, including the PSF mark and the Gardone proof house mark. Import marking reads Mitchell Arms, Anaheim CA, USA. Side markings include "ADLER ITALY – MOD. J'AGER AP80-22M – CAT. 4182," identifying it as the .22 WMR configuration within the AP80 series.
Externally, it follows the AK-pattern layout and includes an under-barrel cleaning rod and a right-side safety lever. The model incorporates a decorative/false gas system to maintain the classic profile while operating via simple blowback.
