22 conversions for AR-15's

[tradertator]

Whats your guys experiences with these? I have a friend with a ceiner one, factory mag, and 4 bulldog 30 rounders for $200. I'm wanting a supressor platform, and seems like this would make a great practice rifle.

I've got a Spike's kit that is pretty decent. It's not 100% reliable, but good enough to have a little fun on the cheap.

My Ceiner kit is very good. I did have a magazine that gave me issues, and a call to JAC was less than friendly, so I discarded that mag and replaced it with Black Dogs from Brownells. It's flawless as long as it's kept reasonably clean.

Yeah, JAC is an ***hole to say the least.

IMHO, if possible avoid his products just on the grounds of principle alone. But otherwise his product is decent; he's just a jerk, and you will get NO customer service if you have problems.

I have a Ceiner, original mag and 3 black dog mags. Works excellent on my RRA with federal value pack ammo. only fair with Remington VP. We tried it on a friends gun. worked OK with occasional jams. not as good as on my gun. Still a fun toy and way to shoot a lot cheap. If I had the money to spend a dedicated upper would be nice.

I have a CMMG one, and it is pretty great! I've only put about 100 rounds through it but I didn't have any failures to feed. The magazine functioned well, though I was unable to get 26 rounds in it. The only thing that I don't like is it was really inaccurate, but it may need broke in, cleaned, or something like that.

Still pleased with the purchase, just won't be sniping many rodents...

CMMG stainless with approx 2000 rds through it - works great.

I also have the CMMG conversion, Brownells only offered 1 mag back when I ordered it and now there shipping with 3

I heard about a lot of guys having some issues with the CMMG getting stuck in the chamber of their gun, so I took a few minutes before I took it out to the range to polish the entire conversion with 600 grit sand paper and some water and the issue never occurred. Initially I had an occasional double feed and a few fail to fires but all of those occurred within the first 100 rounds (Federal Bulk Pack 36gr HP). The next 400 rounds went flawlessly. Conversion would be a lot more fun with more than 1 mag, I tend to not use it very ofter because it just doesn't feel right putting those little 22's through my AR. Of course $320/1K feels a lot worse

Nordic Components will have a new AR upper out soon. It should be a real winner, addressing a lot of the shortcomings of other dedicated 22 uppers on the market.

thanks guys, I always like to hear someone elses first hand experiences with a product I'm unfamiliar with, prior to my purchase.

Looks like theyre only shipping with 1 mag again. Either 26rd or 10rd.

Here's a link to a thread I wrote about accuracy in the .22 conversions.

I've got the CMMG kit. I picked one up with 2 mags at the last Indy 1500 for $140. It loves the federal ammo. I haven't had any ftf with federal bulk pack ammo from Wally World. It didn't like the Remington golden's though. Shot some CCI stingers and velocitors just fine out of it. Accuracy out of my 16" 1:7 Carbine is far from great but it sure is fun switching out the bolt and then plinking away for a lot less $$$.

Spend a little more on quality kit

I have been told there are almost zero issues with the stainless steel kits.

those .22 conversions are especially fun if you load a 165-275 round drum on them to shoot with our a and d am180 drum adapter. i will be offering a special price to the guys on this site coming up. these can be viewed on our distributors site:bazookabrothers.com there is an enhancement page for all of the .22 ar15 conversions whether drop in or complete upper on the site. this will tell you how to iimprove the function of your .22 ar15 regardless of what mag or manufacture you have. out of all of the .22 conversions on the market, the ones for the ar15's have the worst reliability, not because they won't work ,but in getting them to work on or in your gun do to the unbelievable tolerances and fit variations. many will run with different ammo types but cci minimags solids are the standard to get your unit running. if it won't run with the minimag solids reliably then you need to work with it until it will. polishing, ball detents , springs , etc are all included on the enhancement page. and if your gun won't run reliably in semi, don't expect it to do as well in f/a. the site is not working as it should ; just called the distributor and he is calling the web guy to get it going again , so just check back in a day or so for the enhancements.

 

[tradertator]

Sounds cool, looking forward to your site.

Do they do any harm to a 556 barrel?

 

[JeremyVG]

No, but they can foul your gastube.
