CMMG perfects the drop in AR .22 conversion.

[Ridge]

Welcome to the forum!

CMMG, Spikes and the others all use the same basic design. I went with the CMMG stainless kit because a local retailer had one for sale, and the surface was easy to clean.

Zoooombie thread!

But yeah, the conversion bolt fits right into the upper nice and snugly. It has it's own chamber extension that reaches into the bore so they don't just shoot into your chamber. They're not as accurate as .223, but it's a smaller bullet going down the bore. But they're good for short range marksmanship, and just plain trigger time.

Ridge, for a tech savvy guy you're about 6 months late to this "new" product. BDM the magazine mfg also has a BHO mag follower that works.

I know this thread has come back to the future, but the title made me giggle.
I had a first gen Ciener Kit. It broke, and because Jonathon Arthur Ciener was a douche, I had to buy another one to get the necessary parts. Mine sucked. Life got a little better when BDM came out and you could get half decent magazines. Then the patent expired, and I had the opportunity to vote with my wallet. Bought a Spikes kit and a CMMG kit. They were both incrementally better, but they never ran reliably on bulk ammo. My own opinion is that nobody has perfected the drop-in AR .22 conversion as of yet.

The last PU/SU shoot that's all we ran on the 7.5" 22 upper. JAC Original I saved the box because i know how sentimental you are with JA

Ok...have to weigh in here...I bought a CMG 22lr upper (Bowers stocks them) and it works great on my "lower of choice". of course, I ended up acquiring a Plum Crazy lower just for this upper, but I didn't have to. I also acquired a Colt (Umarex) 22lr complete AR. I like them both though the CMMG upper is much easier to clean and completely functions like a regular AR. The Colt has a non-functioning Bolt release lever, but other then that works great. Both have great accuracy at 50 yds. FWIW...the CMMG BHOA has some difficulty with the polymer lower...it has more friction in the bolt latch area than the metal lowers. Takes some extra care, lubrication, and possible mods to function 100%
