CMMG perfects the drop in AR .22 conversion.

[Ridge]

Now it is possible to practice with full function controls using rimfire ammunition. The Pat Pending Bolt Hold Open Actuator is a 4 second drop-in component that bridges the gap between the standard AR15 bolt catch and the all new pat pending Bolt Hold Open Follower. With tens of thousands of .22 magazines out in circulation, CMMG has developed a drop-in retrofit follower and spring that simply replaces the standard follower and spring of the CMMG magazine. The low cost BHOA/BHOF gives total bolt catch/release function with absolutely no gunsmithing.

BHOA consists of simple polymer housing, steel transfer bar and roll pin. Its unique ,self locating design, makes it very easy and fast to install.



Once ammo is depleted, the top half of the BHOF shifts to engage BHOA transfer bar


BHOF kit consists of fully assembled follower and retrofit spring.

Final tooling is nearing completion. We are looking at June 1st to start pushing these out in quantity.

The prices we are shooting for are:

$7.50 for the Follower and Spring
$24.95 for the Magazine with the Follower and Spring

$19.95 for the Bolt Hold Open Actuator assembly

sweet!!!! I gotta get one

[mutt]

That's actually pretty cool. The one thing I don't like about my conversion bolt and dedicated upper - no bolt hold open. Wonder if this will work with spike's tactical bolts? Don't see why not, anyone know for sure?

CMMG, Spikes and a couple others all use the same design that Jonathan Ciener came up with.

Yeah, I figure there's a 99% chance they'll all work with this. But one never knows. I know spike's uses a slightly different firing pin than the other guys.

Why not just get something like an M&P15-22? For the price it's tough to beat.

Max Atchisson invented the AR-15 .22 adapter (and the lightning link and a bunch of other firearms-related stuff). Ciener just licensed the patent and made lots of $$$ on it.

This is awesome - I'm gonna get one.

The M&P 15-22 is a horrible training proposition. With the 22 kit, you train with *your* rifle, *your* trigger pull, *your* customizations. Lords know, I've spent far more on accessories to my rifle than the rifle itself. I'm sure as hell not spending money on another Aimpoint micro, flashlight, FF tube, and Magpul furniture for a little .22, when I can spend $200 total and shoot with a perfect "replica" of my fullpower gun.
