Retay RA1522 Rifle .22 LR 25rd Magazine Black Aluminum MLOK Forend
The Retay RA1522 is a reliable semi-automatic .22 LR rifle built for shooters who want a versatile platform for plinking, small-game hunting, or introducing new shooters to the sport. With its 18-inch threaded barrel, lightweight aluminum construction at 4.74 lbs, and M-LOK-compatible forend, the RA1522 strikes a balance between portability and modularity. The 25-round magazine capacity keeps you running longer between reloads, while the flip-up front and rear sights let you get on target quickly without requiring additional optics—though the threaded barrel opens the door to suppressors or other muzzle devices if you want to customize your setup.
This is a no-frills, practical rifle for the shooter who values function over flash. Semi-automatic operation makes it straightforward to run, and the thumb safety keeps things secure when you need it to be. The M-LOK forend means you can add rails, grips, or other accessories to suit your shooting style—whether you're setting up for bench work, hunting, or just ringing steel at the range.
If you're building a budget-conscious .22 rifle that punches above its weight class, or you need a reliable training platform that won't break the bank, the Retay RA1522 delivers. It's the kind of rifle that rewards you for keeping things simple.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mount a suppressor or other muzzle device on the RA1522?
Yes. The barrel is threaded 1/2-28, the standard threading for .22 LR rifles, so it's compatible with suppressors, flash hiders, muzzle brakes, and other threaded accessories designed for that specification.
What kind of accessories can I attach to the M-LOK forend?
The M-LOK slots let you mount rails, tactical grips, bipods, lights, or other M-LOK-compatible gear to customize the rifle to your needs. It's a modular platform that grows with your setup.
Does the RA1522 come with sights?
Yes. The rifle includes flip-up front and rear sights, so you can start shooting right out of the box without needing to buy additional optics. That said, the top of the receiver should accept standard picatinny rails if you want to add a scope or red dot later.
Is this rifle suitable for a new shooter?
.22 LR is one of the most forgiving calibers to shoot—low recoil, mild report, and gentle on the shoulder. The RA1522's lightweight build and simple semi-automatic operation make it an excellent choice for training or introducing someone to shooting sports.
