Kriss USA DM22CBL04 DMK22C Arca Full Size 22 LR 25+1 16.50" Black Nitride Steel Threaded Barrel, Black Aluminum Receiver, Arca Swiss Handguard, Black Synthetic 6 Position Stock
The Kriss USA DMK22C Arca is a purpose-built .22 LR rimfire rifle engineered for precision competition and serious plinking. Unlike off-the-shelf plinkers, this semiautomatic platform combines match-grade features—optics-optimized top rail, direct blowback reliability, and modular ergonomics—with practical shootability at an honest price point. If you're stepping into precision rimfire competition, training new shooters, or want a genuinely capable .22 that doesn't feel like a toy, the DMK22C Arca delivers without compromise.
The design philosophy here is refreshingly modern. The receiver ditches the antiquated forward assist and dust cover clutter you'll find on knockoffs, and the lightened bolt pairs with a Ruger 10/22–compatible extractor to cycle even low-velocity ammo reliably. That matters when you're shooting match-grade subsonic loads or older surplus rounds. The 16.5-inch 4140 chrome moly barrel wears a tough black nitride finish and includes Kriss's muzzle brake, keeping felt recoil minimal and shots predictable. Threading opens the door to aftermarket suppressors or brakes down the road.
Build modularity is baked in: the Arca Swiss M-LOK aluminum handguard accepts a world of competition accessories, while the AR-15–pattern 6-position adjustable stock and trigger guard play nice with standard aftermarket parts. You get two 25-round magazines out of the box, so you can get to the range immediately. The package includes a cleaning kit, cable lock, and user manual—everything you need to run it hard.

Frequently Asked Questions
What comes in the box with the DMK22C Arca?
The rifle ships with two 25-round magazines, a cleaning kit, cable lock, user manual, and warranty card. You'll have everything needed to field-strip and care for the rifle right out of the box.
Can I use a suppressor on the threaded barrel?
Yes—the 4140 chrome moly barrel is threaded, so you can mount compatible .22 LR suppressors or other muzzle devices. The factory Kriss muzzle brake is included and can be swapped out.
Is this rifle compatible with AR-15 parts?
The DMK22C Arca uses AR-15 pattern controls and buffer tube, making it compatible with many standard AR-15 aftermarket furniture and accessories. However, the magazine is not AR-15 compatible—the DMK22C uses its own 25-round magazines.
What's the advantage of the Ruger 10/22 extractor?
The lightened bolt paired with the proven 10/22 extractor design improves reliability with a wider range of .22 LR ammunition, including low-velocity match rounds and older surplus ammo that might cause cycling issues in other platforms.
