New Viva Arms "Ranch Boy" Ruger 10/22 GBBR (Samson-style stock)

[BenJackson]

Due in early November, based on the Nov SSQ system, so if you're already into the platform then mag availability won't be an issue for you.

 

1J out of the box, can change quite easily using the various nozzles already on the market for the platform.

Have the modded the system much? These are really cool and I would definitely pick up the black one, but I remember people saying the SSQ was quite inconsistent to play with.

Hopefully they'll do a 5.56 variant.

I wonder how they do this- partnership with Noveritsch, or go straight to the OEM of the SSQ (presumably KJW) and manage to sidestep any licencing issues at the same time

Either way, the pricing seems good in comparison to the base cost of the SSQ.

There is the double bell AEG version apparently on the way....

If they do 556 variant....I'll be over the moon .

Honestly from what I've gathered when speaking to Viva, it seems stock, there's certainly no proprietary issues that I've been told about, so at this stage I would say that it's essentially an SSQ clone in it's entirety

Literally the first thing I asked for when they initially announced it! Although don't expect it anytime soon...whilst the body modifications would be easy, unless they licence a VFC or TM system (good luck with that), it means either "cloning" it or developing your own entirely...at which point it risks being a cool paperweight.
