Seriously,,,
I wish you good luck.

It is an awesome little carbine,,,
The most fun rimfire semi I've ever owned.

I was on a waiting list for over 5 months to get mine.

I haven't seen them in stock for over a year now.

I can't find the kit on the Beretta website,,,
They might be a discontinued item.

I know the pistol is still on their site, but yeah, I do think they might of had discontinued their carbine kit.
If I end up getting it I'll buy the carbine kit off of Gunbroker or ask around and see where I can get the kit at.

15-22 are cool and everyone should have one.

That's what I'm thinking about getting. But haven't Smith & Wesson had problems with them lately or something like that?
I don't if it was a dream I had where I saw that Smith & Wesson has been having problems with them or if I actually saw something that they've actually been having problems with them..... :brick:
If there isn't any problems with them I'll end up getting one sooner or later so I can practice with that because it'll be A LOT cheaper to shoot than my AR.
Plus I can do some steel challenge shooting with that besides just my Glock 35.

Try to see if you can pick up a cheap 10/22 or old model charger and throw it in a Kit Fox stock.

Accessorize to your own tastes and heart's content from there.

Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

That seems like a cool lil' setup! I might just have to get a 10/22 just for that because that looks pretty dang slick.
Red Jacket Firearms has this bad ass bullpup kit for the 10/22 that I've been thinking about getting.
Plus they're generous to us lefties that they have this lil' cover thing that goes over the ejection port and makes all the casings go downward so it's not gonna' always be hitting you in the face if you're a lefty like me.
Here's some pictures of the bullpup kit: download (1).jpgdownload.jpg

Start hunting for your carbine kit right now,,,
Because finding one will not be an easy task to accomplish.

It will not be a matter of simply "asking around".

I want a second kit very badly,,,
I haunt gunbroker daily with my "want one" list
I'm on waiting/notification lists with close to a dozen retailers.

No joy in over 8 months of looking.

I'm not trying to dampen your enthusiasm,,,
I'm just saying that you need to start your search now.

Unless you get very lucky,,,
It will take some time to find one to buy.

I saw that one,,,
But it's already way over normal retail price.

I paid $237.00 for mine new at Buds,,,
That was just a few months before you shot it.

For the "Buy It Now" price of $525.00,,,
You could buy a brand new Browning Buckmark Carbine.

I want a second NEOS Carbine,,,
But not that badly.

I never knew there was a Browning Buckmark Carbine!? Is it made by browning or is it an aftermarket kit to convert your Buckmark to a carbine?

The Buckmark Carbine is a complete rifle,,,
It's not a kit that allows you to convert a pistol to carbine.

[Broken External Image]

I believe that the Beretta NEOS,,,
Is the only handgun that converts to a carbine.

Figure the price of a NEOS pistol plus the carbine kit,,,
The price for a Buckmark Carbine is comparable.

A friend of mine has one of the Buckmarks without iron sights,,,
He put a high-dollar red dot optic on it and it's very easy to hit with,,,
His rifle cost him about $550.00 and then over $200 for that red dot optic.

Kind of spendy for a rimfire carbine,,,
But then again I have over $500.00 in my NEOS Carbine.

I could have purchased any of several fine .22 semi-auto rifles for much less,,,
But that old adage, "the heart wants what the heart wants." applies to guns as well as women. :screwy:

I honestly don't think his is any more accurate than my NEOS carbine,,,
We both swap back and forth and our accuracy doesn't change.
