The CMMG .22 conversion kit works great in my AR platform rifles but it just won’t work in my AR pistol? Watch as I get frustrated trying to make this kit work.

Could likely be that your using a normal charging handle. I had these issues, then put 3D printed insert into charging handle and it's been very reliable.
22 are prone to double lip feedings, check your loading process !!
I have the stainless version and works perfectly in my 9in pistol
I do wonder if it is because of the pistol length gas system. It isn't a true blow back system and the gas maybe forcing the bolt open early.
blackdog mags are horrendous as they age , cheaply made springs in them with imo inferior metal. I use the better mag adapter from Boonie packer/Redi mag and SW mp 15-22 mags.
I’ve had my 1st gen unit so long (12 years and 50k rounds) that I’ve literally worn out the mag feed lips, split the chamber adapter, and most recently wore out the extractor. CMMG has replaced everything without hesitation on their behalf. What a great company
It works just fine in my AR carbine. Not one jam, fail to feed or fail to eject.
You sir seem like a great guy to hit the range with. Thanks for the good & informative video.
Black dog mags are junk
Too many jams boss! Thanks for sharing this video. I was considering picking up a conversion kit now im not going to. Just doesn't suit the AR15 platform i guess. Keep the videos coming. And thanks again. I wish I could shoot with you. My dream is to be able to shoot in my backyard. Take care Patriot.
i like how your such a consistent youtuber you answer everyone's questions
I haven't had any malfunctions with mine, in pistol or rifle. I have two of the kits and fire them in two different weapons, one pistol one rifle. Neither of my kits hold the BCG open on the last round.
You might want to try some REM oil instead of the Lucas I find it to be more effective. With a little modification you'll have it running in no time a very good investment to have especially with the price of ammo. This is why I stocked up four years ago……… take this experience as a lesson to always stock up but it's always good to invest in a conversion kit to save on your ammo or save your own bacon.
Just remember to be safe on the Range and don't forget to wear eye protection in hearing protection you only get one set of eyes and you don't want to lose your hearing train hard and win the fight
Barrel is to short.
They make a charging handle with no groove in the bottom.
22 LR IS JUST NOT REALIABLE THATS ALL
8:14 "even when man interferes it still never snows in southern Nevada"
That freak snow storm we just had doesnt count.
How about a kit that converts my BB gun to a 50 cal.? The BB strikes the primer of the much larger rd.
I’d love to have that old truck body to rebuild
That’s direct blow back conversion. I would assume that their isn’t enough velocity to function in your pistol.
Nice to have no bs reviews like this. Thanks man, I subbed.
I would just buy another 10/22 or what have ya
I believe CMMG has upgraded the 22lr conversion since then. I ordered that product about 6 months ago, and I use it in my Colt AR with a 7.5” barrel, and I haven’t had 1 single issue. Not saying that I won’t ever have an issue here and there, but try the newer conversion kit, I think you’ll have better success. Thanks!
I use the CMMG anti-jam charging handle. It is filled in on the end to prevent casings from getting up inside there.
Make it snow! Everybody loves Santa Snow. 🎅 Available at your local Piggly Wiggly. 🐷
WHERE THE HECK DID HE FIND CHEAP 22 ?????????…. Wal-Mart has been barren for 3 months….online is like $.30 a round. $100 for a box !!!!
Verygood i from.thailand. พัทลุง.
I have 2 of these conversions. I use them for competitions and have had virtually zero issues with both over thousands of rounds. Most of those were through a 10.5" and lots on FA
I'll add one more for the mags. My son has CMMG on an AR pistol with the provided mags, and a binary trigger. No issues at all
Works 90-94% of the time yet the title says it absolutely does not work with AR pistol. Little confused about that.
I appreciate your honest review. I just received the new stainless steel model. I haven't have the good weather yet to give it a tryout.
I've read of two potential problems:
1. They don't work with Notched Hammers.
2. The ejected cases can get caught on the Charging Handle. As I said in another post, CMMG makes a Charging Handle.
Have as much fun as you can with your cool toys. Unfortunately, biden will take possession of them.
We were able to borrow the Atchisson version which is similar to the CMMG. We ran thousands of rounds on full auto using a government issued AR. The Atchisson also jammed once in a while. It was a lot of fun until we found out that the springs needed to be replaced.
I have the stainless version and its awesome
The CMMG conversion is a simple blowback design. Pistol or rifle shouldn't matter as barrel length won't effect the function. I would try shimming the bcg and make sure it's tight against the buffer. Otherwise, always suspect a bad mag.
P.S. We always shoot a few .223 after to clean the gas port of any .22 LR fowling.
is it the Bravo model? better than the old one?
It looks like the Charging Handle is the problem. CMMG makes a Charging Handle that will cure the extraction problem.
