Fresh off the print bed: a fully completed prototype of the COVID-22 chambered in .22LR. Printed using premium PLA Plus for optimal layer adhesion and structural integrity. Getting the headspace dialed in perfectly and verifying the smooth release of the firing pin assembly before taking it down for safety checks.

A detailed look at the latest bench-test prototype for the COVID-22 .22LR single-shot design. This build explores the viability of compact, mechanical print-in-place and multi-part assemblies using basic workshop hand tools. Focus areas for this version include reinforcement around the breech face and tuning the manual cocking piece for consistent engagement.
