all right KRISS DEFIANCE DMK22 Hey guys Dustin here and today we have the
Kriss Defiance DMK22 now KRISS that's KRISS with a K you know the guys that
make the vector and cool stuff like that they've got this really solid and very
accurate 22 and we'll just go over it real quick now the cool thing is it's
kind of its kind of milspec as in its not polymer and plastic so you have it's
all metal design so you have what is the the T 7075 t6 aluminum upper and lower
receivers and it is a little different though so I think the upper is
completely kind of milspec so if you wanted to take their barrel out and put
it another thing which is something else it takes 1022 barrels well go in the
details of that later but the lower is pretty much kind of you know just
regular milspec AR with the one exception look it's like solid on the
buffer tube it's like why you do that cuz now we can't make it a real AR or
something but there it is and then it has this this magazine catch is also
modified so that it holds that the last round holds the bolt
open at least with their mags now it also takes the black dog mags magazines
that will uh you know they cycle just fine for me but it won't hold your bolt
open get more into that later on the inside well shoot it's a lot just like
the kind of the CMMG and the standard AR conversion bolts so it's it's it's a
lot like that you take it apart for cleaning then with the set screw right
there and you know you got your bolt carrier on a rail and you can see the
notches there which means that our forward assist will also work if needed
now the gun itself especially on the upper part now they do have the LVOA
warfighters rail that you can
get on these for a little extra this is all proprietary though from the
handguard to these the stock the flip up steel sights and the rail all
proprietary KRISS even the muzzle device that comes on it but of course
you know the first thing I do rip that off and suppress it so we've got the
bowers USS suppressor on there but it's it's really it's it's good quality you
know which you'd expect from all-metal construction rather than just cheap and
cutting corners now I think I mentioned it earlier but it takes Ruger 10/22
barrels so you take this handguard off with just these two screws and then you
take the barrel nut off and then there's actually a sleeve that pins on to the
10/22 barrel and allows it to fit into the regular AR upper and then allow you
to shoot just out the gate with 10 22 barrels so that opens up a lot of
possibilities one for me I'm thinking hey get a charger barrel oh yeah and and
chop it down and they can make an SBR out of it now of course then you'd have
to SBR this other lower but I think we can slap it on another lower we'll try
that out in a minute anyway but in the meantime shut up and shoot and just just
see how she runs the ammo choice of today Norma match 22 very nice stuff I
was having misfires with my CCI standard and it wasn't the guns fault because
those suckers were thin and deep so anyway I don't know there's so many
targets what do we do let's just go for the plate rack first
okay so it does run well but what I was so impressed with it was the accuracy I
was back there with this holosun and I'm really digging this this if you
follow me on instagram there is a video I beat the mess out of sight on a front
sight post and through yeah anyway on a fence post and if that was this HOLOSUN
still running strong got a little room out so I can pop it on and off
stuff this is the 530 see you wait 503CU so it's got the which call solar
panels on it too but it's got the shake awake feature
which is really cool when you're on trampoline you know you're gonna shake
that booger awake but anyway oh yeah I was that 50 yards with this thing and
I'm shooting a bull's eye target that we use for camp the one that has like the
the like point nine inch hole to send around through so I was very impressed
with the accuracy so the bolt hold-open it's pretty slick right there and you
can see what there is the the little plunger that goes into your mag catch
show you that open it that'll make it easier so now that we have empty mag so
when you have that empty mag in there and there your magazine catch will pop
up just like so and so so that's a nice plus here's the downside okay
they only offer 15 round and 10 round mags for communist states so the 15
round mag is kind of like low for me but it like I said you can go to 25 rounds
and it'll work just with the Black Dog mags once you it just won't work with
the bolt with the magazine catch it'll still lock the bolt open with the
follower itself so I guess we have to demo that let's see if the CCI em over
will run all the way through
all right and then we're open and you can see right right in there
the the the vault is held open only by the follower itself so once we drop it
it's gonna fall so then when you reinsert the new mag you're gonna have
to just to just run the charging handle again if I did that now just gotta lock
open anyway so there the trigger itself came like four and a half pounds pretty
good for a milspec you know there'd stock trigger the charging handle and
trigger group are both interchangeable with any you know regular AR stuff you
have you're gonna I don't know if this is a commercial or milspec buffer tube
you can figure that out on your own but that's about that
let's shoot at 50 yards for some accuracy and then I'm gonna show you the
insides of it alright so quick switch with the optics and we're at 50 yards
can y'all see the yeah it's way down there okay we have another camera on it
so the bull's eye target shooting papers boring but the bull's eye target will
tell us if we're sub 1 inch and so if it's yards I guess s sub 2 a MOA but
come on 22 I don't really want to go back 200 yards anyway there's a
trampoline in the way we don't wanna do that mess alright we've got that normal
match ammo alright I see if we keep it on this dot
Oh nicked it. But I see it though Bolt hold open you know I love that target
isn't that cool all right so that is at least the accuracy portion of it is
driven apart here just because it is neat how they built the inside and and
register your Kriss defiance that doesn't have a milled buffer tube and
would lock you into just 22 why I don't know okay so anyway let's see if it runs
sweet and that is with the LaRue MBT trigger love that as well so here's the
deal guys the Kriss Defiance DMK22 I know you're asking and i don't want to tell
you because that's the downside of it is the price $699 cha-ching for 22 so i
would love to see them come out with just the sleeve in the and the and the
and the four end that you could build your own cuz everybody's got 10 22
barrel lying around right or you got one that you're buying although theirs is
very accurate and then you could even replace their mag catch if you wanted to
utilize that bolt hold-open function but as you also just heard the bolt will
hold open like a black dog mag what does it's on the follower so if i drop it
it's it's done so price is definitely something to consider at $699 we could
get two and a half Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 s but they're not as accurate and
I've put thousands of rounds through those and have broken them and so this
is this is just the whole design seems a little more robust than those but at the
same time yeah you know it is it's your decision it's your money I'm not gonna
tell you I spend it but I do love it and like it and I'm gonna continue using it
and if it was a little less we'd have them more and at marksman camp although
the weight since it weighs about as much as a real AR that is also something to
consider because the MPs are gonna be lightweight composite and all that stuff
so you can find out more on Chris's website like I said they've got another
option with a longer cooler looking rail oh I didn't mention earlier that was
because the rail is proprietary if you want to put some pick rails on this
gonna have to pay and buy it from them this is not in luck or anything like
that disappoint alright so that is that and thanks for watching guys and keep
staying tuned we've got some cool stuff like I got the canik tp9 to do the
Galil ace in 7.62x39 by iwi good rifle we're gonna review that as
well and y'all click the like to subscribe little notification bell and
in the comments tell me what else you want to see okay I'm here for you
