What are your guys opinions on 22 conversion kits for an AR.
I had a Ciener with Black Dog mags. Ran without a hitch for a carbine class.
Not the most accurate thing in the world, and when I switched to 5.56 it blew a ton of junk out (kind of funny, actually) but its great for training.
You just need to find the right ammo and "tune" the kit.
I have the CMMG kit and love it, big with the kids too!
Okay I just read about someone blowing up their upper after using one
I have a cmmg and have run a few bricks through it without any issues. The only complaint I have is the cleaning afterward. It leaves the rifle VERY dirty.
I had a Criener, worked for awhile but accuracy just is not there with a 223 barrel.
got a DPMS one, worked better, they don't make them anymore. but if you want some real accuracy, bite the bullet and get a CLE.
mine will shoot with the Anschutz all day long.
All the rest are just toys.
imo its worth spending the extra dollars just to get a dedicated .22 Upper. I won't say conversion kits blow up all the time, but has happen enough were its not a rare occurrence. Cry Once and buy once.
I have owned several over the years. Right now Nordic and Tactical Solutions are the ones I use.
My Ciener has run fine for years. Had to straighten and polish my brother IL's to get it to work.
Sure makes the rifle a whole lot'o fun. Daughter loves to go Rambo with it.[AR15]
