The Angstadt Arms Vanquish 22 18″ .22 LR Ported Threaded is an integrally suppressed semi-automatic rifle engineered for quiet, reliable rimfire operation. This factory-built system pairs an 18-inch ported, threaded barrel with an integral suppressor that reduces perceived report without internal baffles, delivering consistent subsonic performance for training, varmint control, and precision rimfire shooting.

Key Features
- Integral Suppressor Design — Reduces report by 25-30 dB over a standard .22 LR barrel without the need for NFA registration, making it ideal for discreet training and pest control.
- 18-inch Ported, Threaded Barrel — Porting vents gas downward to counteract muzzle rise, while the threaded muzzle accepts aftermarket muzzle devices or adapters for added versatility.
- Fixed Black Synthetic Stock — Provides a stable, repeatable cheek weld for consistent accuracy, with a durable finish that withstands rough field use.
- 10+1 Round Capacity — Uses standard Ruger 10/22-style magazines, offering reliable feeding and easy reloads for extended range sessions.
- Matte Finish — Reduces glare and resists corrosion, ensuring the rifle remains low-profile in the field or on the range.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for shooters who demand quiet, accurate rimfire performance without the paperwork and cost of a tax-stamped suppressor. It suits law enforcement for low-noise training, military personnel for familiarization drills with subsonic ammunition, and serious shooters who value precision and reliability in a compact package.
Pros/Cons
- Pro: Integral suppression eliminates the need for NFA stamps, saving time and money.
- Pro: Ported barrel reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise, improving follow-up shot speed.
- Con: The fixed stock limits length-of-pull adjustment for shooters with shorter or longer arms; aftermarket stock options are not compatible without modification.
