I would have watched the whole video if it wasn’t for that stupid song!!!
Geez Dude – i quit watching after about 45 seconds of the 'death rock' music..
Nice. Does the bhoa adapter work or not?
also musics too loud to understand what you are saying.
Is the forward assist really needed? and does it screw down to the .22 bolt carrier/conversion bolt?
you don't need the forward assist feature. You have slick side upper without the forward assist
I live for this
Mine locks open but insertion of a new mag will release the bolt everytime. Maybe I need to check fit again? LOL! Definitely worth getting and trying for yourself. Good Luck!
Thanks. I've already looked at CMMG's videos. I was looking around on here to see how others liked the BHOA. since I've read bad reviews on it.
Mine didn't come with the BHOA or forward assist adapter. I don't know if I really need the forward assist, but I plan on ordering the BHOA. After watching the videos of how to set it up, I think the bad reviews are probably because they didn't fit it properly to their gun.
CMMG has a video animation on their channel that shows the installation and proper fit. I'll put the link in the description or just search "CMMG BHOA Fitting Instruction" and it should come right up. I love this thing! If only I could find .22 ammo!
I just got a conversion kit and installed and shot it yesterday. Worked great except mine didn't come with the BHOA. I was really hoping that you would show installing that and properly fitting it.
I noticed that on the last shot of the magazine, the bolt slams into the top of the magazine follower. Don't know how long the magazine will last if I don't install the BHOA.
WOW! Let me know how it turns out. Good Luck!
Have you gotten a replacement yet? If so, does it look like it's been fixed or different from the first one? Did they give you problems when you called about the issue?
You may need to get up with CMMG on that one. Gotta try and keep it clean. Hard to do when you can go through 500 rounds in one sitting. You almost have to clean it every few hundred.
@multiHappyHacker I still plan on doing a follow a up on this to include shooting. If you want to see just the bolt I would suggest visting CMMGs' website, they have some good pics of their kits.
very odd bolt, let us get a better look at it.
@YouHogTube This is one of my earlier videos, none of my more recent videos have music. I'm not going to re-do this video because we don't have the same taste in music or you don't have the patience to get throught it.
@YouHogTube I WOULD NEVER COMMENT ON SOMEONE ELSES' TASTE IN MUSIC OR ASK THEM TO CHANGE SOMETHING IN THEIR VIDEO FOR ME. I'm on here to learn and share, not disrepect others taste in music. To say "F'ing so-called" is out of line. If you can write a comment like that and then lecture me about not being interested in listening to those who view my videos, you credibilty is lost.
@YouHogTube You seriously couldn't sit through that! I can't think of a genre of music that I coudn't listen to, or at least have patience enought to sit through to get to something I was interested in! Your Loss!
@dsarti1 Thanks! I think?
was great after I muted that noise you had playing
@nightsniper101 Let me put it this way, all BHOA kits, which are Evolution kits, include FA now. They didn't used to. The S&W M&P 15-22 does completely function normal with charging handle and bolt hold open but the evolution kit is more cost effective. I didn't have to buy BUS or a primary.
@nightsniper101 Not really with this upper since it does not have the forward assist. Wanted to have it though so that when I get another AR or a different upper it will be functional. Not that I'll ever have to use it. lol. I think all the Evolution kits include the forward assist? Got to have the BHOA, if it does not function the same it's not worth having.
@nightsniper101 Yes I do have the forward assist. The biggest difference between the conversion and the dedicated upper is the bolt and carrier.
@nightsniper101 Your right, it is a dedicated upper, as well as the conversion kit. Go to CMMG's site, under online store you'll find both.
@christang721 That's the plan. If you go to CMMG's channel they do show the BHOA functioning through a couple mags.
