The bad news - It is a POS as much of the production run was.
NAA’s product line has all stainless construction for a reason (IIRC], because aluminum doesn’t handle differential heating well. My 317 cylinder doesn’t like getting warm, such as from any rapid fire string. Needs ten minutes to cool down so I can open the action
For what it is worth, I recently picked up a NAA LR/WMR conversion. Not a track driver for me, but I was pleasantly surprised that .22WMR was so manageable.
Build a tiny, lightweight revolver in a low recoil cartridge and there is a good chance I would buy it.
