There is something about running a lever gun that never gets old, and the Chiappa LA322 lets you enjoy that feeling all afternoon on cheap .22 LR instead of pricey centerfire rounds. This is a full size carbine, not a scaled down youth gun, with an 18.5 inch blued steel barrel, a 35.5 inch overall length, and a comfortable English style beech stock. It weighs in around 5.5 pounds, so it carries easily on a walk through the squirrel woods and swings quickly on targets at the range.
The headline feature here is right in the name. The LA322 separates into two halves at the receiver without tools, so it stows neatly in a pack, behind a truck seat, or in a smaller corner of the safe. That makes it a favorite for camping trips and cabin duty, where a full length rifle can be a hassle to haul around. Reassembly takes seconds and the rifle returns to a solid lockup, ready to run.
The under barrel tube magazine holds 15 rounds of .22 LR, which means plenty of trigger time between top offs. A fixed tunnel front sight pairs with a buckhorn style rear that adjusts for windage and elevation, and the receiver has a 3/8 inch dovetail machined into the top if you would rather mount a compact scope or red dot for tighter groups on small game. Chiappa also threads the muzzle at 1/2×28 and includes a cap, so adding a suppressor or other muzzle device is a simple twist away. Quiet backyard style plinking with subsonic ammo through a can on a lever gun is about as fun as rimfire gets.
Between the traditional half cock hammer, the auto ejecting action, and the warm look of oiled hardwood against a matte black receiver, this carbine nails the classic western feel while staying genuinely practical. It works as a first rifle, a trainer for a centerfire lever gun, or just a go to for lazy weekend can rolling. Low cost to feed, easy to pack, and a blast to shoot, the LA322 is one of those guns that ends up going everywhere with you.
The LA322 separates into two halves at the receiver, splitting the buttstock section from the barreled action without any tools. This makes it easy to stash in a backpack, truck, or compact case for camping and travel. Putting it back together takes just a few seconds and it locks up solid.
Yes, this model has an 18.5 inch barrel threaded at the standard 1/2×28 pitch and ships with a thread protector cap. That covers most rimfire suppressors and muzzle devices on the market. Pair it with subsonic .22 LR and you have one of the quietest, most enjoyable lever guns you can shoot.
You can. The top of the receiver has a 3/8 inch dovetail machined right in, which accepts common rimfire rings and mounts. If you prefer irons, the adjustable buckhorn rear and tunnel style front sight work well for plinking and small game out of the box.
It uses a traditional half cock hammer rather than a crossbolt or tang switch, keeping the classic lever gun manual of arms. Lower the hammer to the half cock notch and the rifle can be carried with the tube loaded. It is a simple, time tested setup that lever action fans tend to appreciate.
