22LR uppers?

[atvdave]

Where would be a good place to look at some 22LR uppers that will bolt to a mill spec. AR-15 lower? I've seen a bunch of places on the net from a search, but don't know much about the companies.



If anyone has some experience with a good 22LR upper please let me know.

Thanks
Dave

I have a CMMG and love it. It runs with no issues and is very accurate. Tactical solutions make a good one too. Midway Usa carrys them of course they are out of stock right now but hard to beat the CMMG. My

I also have a CMMG and it runs like a sewing machine, I have no complaints.

I also have a CMMG, and am quite pleased with it.

Right now, CMMG, is your best bet.

I have a razorback beltfed upper that runs great in 22LR.

I like this set-up... Did you add the handgard yourself, or did you get this as a kit?

Looks good.

I added it. Bought the upper as a 16" Midlength and modified it to mirror my BCM upper.

I add my vote for the CMMG upper. It shoots great, never had any issues.

Anyone have a opinion of the Chiappas .22 uppers? Samco Global has them with two 28 round mags for $249.87. They are 16" with a fixed front sight and flat top upper. I've been looking but can't make up my mind to get it or not.

I have not read good things about them, but I don't own one and have never seen one (let alone shot one), so I only know what the internetz knows...

I have one and it's definitely not the best quality. It's a polymer upper that does not quite fit at first. The flash hider is pinned on. With just a few hundred rounds thru it there is already wear on the inside of the receiver. But it functions pretty well on good bulk ammo if you don't use the magazine it comes with. I just don't know how long it'll last.

I have a CMMG conversion bolt and I absolutely love it. I'd recommend that personally. It's a lot more affordable, unless you don't like the idea of sending .22lr down your 223 barrel, which I guess I can understand.

Looks like just about everyone is out of stock... Bad timing on my part to build a dedicated .22LR AR.

They have been out of stock for a while now.

DPMS makes dedicated 22lr uppers in 2 styles.

I enjoy shooting the tactical solution ...I haven't had any issues from mine.

I have a Chiappa .22 upper on a PSA lower, so far so good. I have around 350 rounds threw it with no problems of any kind so far using Federal bulk. If it holds up I think it is a great deal for $250 that I paid for it.

I picked up a conversion bolt this week for fun. Have you had any problems with yours? Hopefully I can try it out this weekend. I roll my own .223 but thought it might be fun for plinking.

I have about 5k through my cmmg conversion and I even have 3 50 round drums. I have had 0 issues.
