I am having a hard time finding basic info on ar22s. I understand that I can buy an ar15 pattern rifle, chambered in 22lr, as a complete rifle (what I think is called an ar22). I also understand that there are conversion kits that apparently can allow an ar15 to fire the 22lr. But that is about where my understanding ends. Say for example I have an ar15 and I want to shoot 22lr in it. Do I just buy a complete 22lr upper, install it, and go shoot? Is an upper the same as a conversion kit? What if I had an ar22 (by this I mean a complete factory rifle made for 22lr), but I want to go to 223/5.56? Can you "upfit" an ar22 into an ar15?
I am not asking for pros and cons of an ar15 vs ar22, nor about which brand is best. I just want basic info about the ar22 and how it relates to the ar15.
Thanks in advance.
