.22 Conversion kit

[Double Feed]

I installed a CMMG .22lr conversion kit on an AR pistol last weekend..... and man! I wish I had this sooner, talk about fun!
Anyone used one? Does it really save you money in the long run??
Or ... do you get bored with it?

Nice write up. I was just talking to my cousin about using these in builds for his little boys.

I have used one for about 4 years now and it's a lot of fun. It would've saved me a bunch of money but I don't use it that often, 22 ammo went through the roof in terms of what I expected to pay, and shooting an AR with a conversion kit doesn't really simulate 223/556.

I am still glad that I purchased mine for $150.

I did a dedicated CMMG 22 upper using their bolt and 4.5 inch barrel in a Ranier Arms 22 specific upper. I love it. Keeps all my crappy bulk ammo subsonic and is surprisingly accurate. Stupid short AR set-up as well.

Pic quality sucks, but you get the idea...

I looked into one but the cost is a little much for my taste.

For those that use it, how do you compensate for your sights being zeroed for .223/5.56?

Gotta go dedicated. 1/7 - 1/9 twist is not effective for 22lr.

Maybe something I'll look into for my next project
