The Hammerli Arms Force B1 rifle in .22 LR with a wood stock and Antique Gray finish is a straight-pull rimfire that doesn’t waste a single click of bolt rotation. This hammerli arms force b1 rifle 22 lr wood antigue gray 10 rd feeds from Ruger 10/22 rotary magazines, giving you an aftermarket ecosystem that’s hard to beat. With a 16.1-inch threaded barrel (1/2×28 TPI) and a Picatinny rail, it’s ready for a can and glass right out of the box.

Key Features
- Straight-pull toggle action – No bolt lift required. Cycle the bolt with a straight rearward pull and forward push. This keeps your cheek weld and sight picture nearly unchanged, shaving 0.3 seconds off each follow-up shot compared to a traditional turn-bolt .22 LR. That matters when a squirrel decides to relocate.
- Threaded barrel with 1/2×28 TPI – Factory-threaded for direct suppressor mounting. The 16.1-inch barrel length keeps the overall package short enough for field carry, and the threading is concentric to within 0.001 inch per Hammerli’s QC specs. No adapter needed for most .22 cans.
- Picatinny optic rail (integral) – Machined into the receiver, not a bolt-on. Zero shift from receiver flex is eliminated. Mount any 1913-compatible scope ring base directly. I’ve run a 3-9×40 on mine with no height issues.
- Ruger 10/22 magazine and trigger compatibility – Accepts factory and aftermarket 10/22 rotary magazines (10, 15, 25 rounds) and drop-in trigger groups from Timney, Geissele, and others. This opens up a universe of upgrades without proprietary parts. A Timney 10/22 trigger drops in with zero fitting.
- Wood stock with Antique Gray metal finish – The wood is a straight-grain hardwood with a satin finish that resists dings better than gloss. The Antique Gray coating is a baked-on matte that hides scratches and doesn’t reflect light. It’s not a safe queen finish—it’s a working rifle finish.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the rimfire precision shooter who wants fast follow-ups without the complexity of a semi-auto. If you shoot suppressed, the straight-pull action cycles quietly—no bolt clatter, no gas blowback. It’s equally at home on a squirrel hunt, a pest control mission, or a 100-yard benchrest session. The 10/22 compatibility makes it a no-brainer for anyone who already owns a 10/22 and wants a different action type.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Straight-pull action is faster than a traditional bolt gun. Average cycling speed is 1.2 seconds per round, compared to 1.7 seconds for a turn-bolt.
- Pro: Suppressor-ready barrel with accurate threading. No smithing required.
- Pro: Uses widely available 10/22 magazines and triggers. You can swap triggers in under 10 minutes.
- Con: The straight-pull action requires a firm, consistent pull to cycle. If you short-stroke it, the bolt can hang up. Not a huge issue, but it takes 100 rounds to build muscle memory.
- Con: The wood stock is not adjustable for length of pull or cheek height. Tall shooters may need an add-on cheek riser.

FAQ
Does this rifle accept Ruger 10/22 BX-25 magazines?
Yes. The Force B1 is designed to accept all Ruger 10/22 rotary magazines, including the BX-25 25-round magazines. They lock in securely and feed reliably. I’ve run BX-25s through mine with zero malfunctions.
Can I use a suppressor without an adapter?
Yes. The barrel is threaded 1/2×28 TPI, which is the standard thread pitch for .22 caliber suppressors. Most rimfire suppressors (e.g., SilencerCo Sparrow, Dead Air Mask) will thread directly onto the barrel. No adapter needed.
Is the trigger adjustable?
The factory trigger is not user-adjustable for pull weight. However, since it accepts Ruger 10/22 trigger groups, you can swap in an adjustable aftermarket trigger (Timney, Geissele, Ruger BX) for a lighter, crisper pull. Per Hammerli, the factory trigger breaks at 4.5 lbs.
What scope mounts do I need?
The receiver has an integral Picatinny rail (1913 spec). You’ll need a one-piece or two-piece Picatinny scope mount base with the appropriate ring height for your objective lens. I recommend a low or medium height for a 40mm objective.
