Conversion kits are great but they tend to jam up and aren’t as reliable.
Just buy a Ruger 10/22
Why would i want either?
How common are 22lr ARs on Mil Spec lowers, so you can switch it to a different later?
So i got a conversion kit for my AR, and it ran fine. Then i put an FRT in my AR, and the conversion kit still worked for a little bit. The next time i tried to run it at the range, i was unable to fit the conversation kit into the upper. It would not sit flush, and i could not get it to no matter what. If anyone has this problem and has a solution, please let me know. And yes, i tried cleaning it
I have a dedicated 22 rifle, but want to use the same bolt on another 556 rifle, too bad cmmg does not sell just the chamber part anymore.
Conversion kit, you still swap a 22 upper. I would never shoot 22 down a 223/556 barrel if that’s what you’re implying.
Combine this with that 4 1/2 inch BCA 556 upper and you got the perfect match
22 will also clog up your gas tube if you dont shoot 223/556 after youre done with the 22
Just run a couple FMJ 556 down and clear all that 22lr fouling right?
Crazy Ivan chassis for 10/22 is the actual real way to go. No drop in crap
I've been running the CMMG kit in mine, and it works great. I clean my gun after every range trip, so I've never had a problem with it, and it's super fun to plink with!
The low price of 22lr will offset the cost of the gun several times over. Get the dedicated.
Was that AR-15 in the video a 22? Which one was that?
I really want to build a .22 ar with a super safety
Stupid. Just by a AR15 upper chambered in .22LR and put it on a lower. Please don’t go buy plastic S&W AR clones. CMMG kit is a way better option than a dedicated plastic .22 with no interchangeable parts.
Other than plinking/practice, why would anybody want an AR chambered in .22? I can't imagine any reason to spend that much on a rifle that shoots .22 Other than maybe competitive shooting, but they use bolt action
My ruger ar556 with the 22 conversion likes heavy subsonic ammo. With my lpvo i am getting around 1/2 groups at 50 yards!! I actually feel so confident in it that im using it for squirrel hunting this year. Im running cci 40 grain lead hollow point subsonics.
I ended up getting a m&p 15-22 by sheer coincidence. I was originally picking up a handgun I ordered and got a background check and had a 3 day waiting period and they had just got one of the 15-22 in stock and I think altogether it was about $450ish. Haven’t shot it heavily but maybe a couple hundred rounds. It feels like a BB gun when shooting
Very good advice Sir!
Was thinking of getting a conversion kit but ended up buying a RIA 22ar and it’s been reliable and not hard to clean (5k rounds so far) and it was budget friendly pick it up for 300$
Had an M&P 15-22. Best little 22 “AR” on the market IMO. Ate EVERYTHING I put in it
🦅🇵🇬
…
S&W MP15-22 for the win !!
😂😂😂 I have the cmmg kit. I got the exact same size groups with .223 as I did with .22lr. If you're shooting bulk ammo, you really aren't going to see a difference. 😂😂😂
BoreBuddy .22 upper 👌
My 22. Is the shiii
If your wanting a 22 buy a Ruger will last till your kids kids want to use it..
I accidentally drunk bought a 7inch ar upper on july 4th back in the day when psa was just coming out, with a keymod handguard. I put it on a shit polymer lower, I also bought through ignorance when I was 18 during the obama panic. It was not tolerable to shoot so i put a 22 conversion kit in it and now my wife likes it.
6 ars later… lol… man idk how my wife puts up with my shit.
Wish I would have know this before I bought my 10/22
I have the .22 conversion. If fun, but dirty, and do need to clean (a lot) after use. The first time you use it lobe it well and the first 100 rounds will give some trouble but then it’s good to go..
Tighter cleaning schedule? Absolutely.
Less reliable? Not so much. My adapter is pretty much used to produce giggles from mag dumps with a binary trigger.
Accuracy? Good enough for small critters if i need. Match accurate? Prolly not
If I want dedicated Ill go to my 10-22.
Far as im concerned, the adapters are where its at.
I'm struggling to see how more angular momentum would result in less precise groups, but maybe you know more about physics than I do. As far as I know, objects with greater angular momenta more greatly resist changes to their angular momenta. So, unless the .22 projectile is being deformed by the rifling, it should be more stable than a .22 out of a lower twist-rate barrel. Maybe that's the case, it wouldn't surprise me. It also wouldn't surprise me if .22 LR just sucks and people are selective about when they take data.
