You can get a good substitute, now available commercially from CCI, the quiet .22 semi-auto.

It has a 45 grain bullet at 835 fps. It would cycle my TX22 fairly reliably, probably moreso with a suppressor attached.

The TX22 is maybe a little bigger than the M-71, but holds 16 rounds in the magazine.

It is about the same weight at the M-71 without the fake suppressor, 17 ounces.

I’ve been wanting to get me one of those Taurus .22s:)
