Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The AMT AutoMag II is a semi-automatic handgun chambered in .22 WMR that was manufactured by Arcadia Machine and Tool from 1987 until 1999 and is currently manufactured by High Standard. There were a number of engineering challenges to overcome in designing an autoloading .22 WMR handgun, such as extraction problems. The extraction problems stem from the fact that the slow-burning rifle powder of the .22 WMR cartridge develops a late peak pressure. This can cause the case's mouth to expand and jam in the chamber when fired from a handgun. AMT overcame this issue by drilling 18 holes at 90 degrees in the chamber. A sleeve was then welded over the chamber; providing a tiny amount of clearance for the excess gas to escape from the first set of holes on back to the second set, thereby relieving the pressure enough to prevent the case from sticking.
The stainless steel slide has a large cutout over the barrel, similar to the Beretta M9, to facilitate better cooling and ejection of the spent brass casing (more likely, it is simply to reduce the moving mass of the slide to allow for the blow-back operation). The stainless steel construction throughout makes rust a non-issue.
Contents:
This example will ship with a Gun Guard by Plano case, four magazines, an extra magazine follower, and original paperwork/receipts where work was done to the gun (not pictured) pictured above!
