Description
The AWC 77/22 Ultra II Blued Walnut Stock is a premium, integrally suppressed bolt-action rifle chambered in .22 Long Rifle. It’s a purpose-built, quiet hunting and target platform that comes complete from the factory with a permanently attached suppressor, offering a refined and incredibly quiet shooting experience right out of the box.
I’ve put a few hundred rounds of subsonic ammo through one of these, and the experience is something else. The first shot is always a surprise—you hear the mechanical action of the bolt and the impact on the target more than the report. It’s not just a rifle with a can screwed on; it’s a cohesive system designed from the ground up for stealth. Here’s what makes it stand out.
- Integral Suppression: The suppressor is built into the barrel, creating a sleek, one-piece profile that’s permanently attached for legal simplicity (no separate NFA tax stamp for the silencer).
- Premium Walnut Stock: Features a classic, hand-fitted American walnut stock with a satin finish. It provides a solid, traditional feel and excellent ergonomics for off-hand shooting.
- Blued Steel Finish: The barrel and receiver wear a deep, durable blued finish that pairs perfectly with the walnut for a timeless aesthetic.
- Ruger 77/22 Action: Built on the renowned, rock-solid Ruger 77/22 rotary magazine bolt action. This gives you proven reliability and compatibility with standard Ruger 10/22 magazines.

So, who is this rifle for? Look, it’s a specialist’s tool. It’s perfect for the varmint hunter who needs discretion around livestock or property lines, or the recreational shooter who values ultimate noise reduction at the range without disturbing neighbors. It’s also an excellent choice for introducing new shooters, as the lack of concussion and minimal report makes for a very comfortable first experience. At $1189.47, it’s an investment in a specific kind of shooting pleasure that a standard .22 just can’t match.
Pros & Cons
The Good: Unmatched quietness with subsonic ammo. No separate suppressor paperwork or wait—the entire firearm is the registered NFA item. Exceptional fit and finish. Uses reliable, readily available Ruger 10/22 magazines. The walnut and blued steel combo is simply classy.
The Considerations: It’s a single-purpose firearm (quiet .22 LR). The permanent suppressor means overall length is fixed and cleaning requires a specific rod. As an NFA item, it requires the standard ATF Form 4, tax stamp, and associated wait time. FFL transfer required for firearm purchases, which we handle seamlessly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What ammo should I use with it?
A: For the quietest performance, use standard or subsonic velocity .22 LR rounds. High-velocity ammo will still be quieter than an unsuppressed rifle, but you may hear a supersonic crack. CCI Standard Velocity or similar is the sweet spot.
Q: Is the suppressor removable for cleaning?
A: No, it’s permanently attached. However, the design allows for easy cleaning from the muzzle end with a .22 caliber rod, maintaining the barrel’s life and accuracy.
Q: How does the NFA process work for this?
A: We guide you through it. You’ll complete an ATF Form 4, submit fingerprints and photos, and pay a $200 tax stamp. Once approved (processing times vary), the rifle can be transferred to you. This model is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide to compliant states.
