Dedicated .22 LR platforms combine purpose-built rimfire operation and the Atrius Forced Reset Selector.
One Horse announced the Express 22 Rifle and Express 22 Pistol, two new dedicated .22 LR firearms that made their public debut at Gun Owners of America’s 2026 Gun Owners Advocacy and Leadership Summit, known as GOALS, Aug. 1-2 at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines, Iowa.
The Express 22 Pistol features a 12.1-inch barrel, while the Express 22 Rifle features a 16.1-inch barrel.
Both models feature a dedicated .22 LR operating system and Atrius Development Group’s Forced Reset Selector, or FRS.
Unlike a conversion system operating through a centerfire barrel, the Express 22 Rifle and Express 22 Pistol use dedicated operating systems built specifically around the .22 LR cartridge. A rimfire-specific interface allows the dedicated bolt system to work with the three-position FRS.
Each model is built by One Horse. The resulting platforms combine familiar AR-pattern controls, dedicated rimfire operation and Atrius’ selector technology in complete, factory-configured firearms.
“Rimfire has always been one of the most practical ways to sharpen fundamentals and put in meaningful range time,” said Jeremy Hammons, CEO of One Horse. “We wanted to take that experience beyond a basic conversion. The Express 22 Rifle and Express 22 Pistol bring a dedicated .22 LR system and the Atrius FRS together in complete firearms that are familiar, purpose-built and true to our Built To Run™ standard.”
The Express 22 Rifle and Express 22 Pistol add dedicated rimfire options to the One Horse lineup while maintaining the familiar controls and handling characteristics of an AR-pattern firearm. Both platforms are purpose-built for training, recreational shooting and high-volume range use.
GOALS attendees had the first opportunity to see the Express 22 Rifle and Express 22 Pistol at One Horse Booth 3142. GOALS was held Aug. 1-2 at the Iowa Events Center, 730 Third St., Des Moines.
