I have an Erma EM1 22 that I have had for over 20 years. My dad gave it to me back in the early 80s. It does have the look and feel of a real M1icon carbine, but does not shoot quite the same. However, it's is still a ball to shoot. 22 bricks seem to disappear with no reasonable explanation after a few hours at the range

Magazines are a little expensive but such is life, you will easily make up for it with the cost of ammo.
