Kaboom! My magical exploding Ar15

[Morgan338LM]

I wouldn't run it at all. You can clean it thoroughly and then check to make sure the round seats fully with the forward assist. That would work, but at the risk of detonating one, from a dude that literally just did this, use a dedicated upper, or one of the 22 AR's. They're only $500 or so, and no issues. I only fired about 100 .22 rounds through the rifle, and all were federal, fully copper jacketed.

Oh, yeah, include the Yugo if you must.

Yep, convinced me as well to get a dedicated upper and avoid the conversion. Sorry you blew up a BCM, but glad that you're alright.

First, glad you're ok. Second, how did the .22 conversion bolt cause this? This just seems to the be an unfortunate out of battery discharge. I still haven't consumed my daily allowance of coffee yet, so maybe I'm missing something? Not doubting you, just wanting to be educated and comprehend.

The .22 conversion literally inserts a faux 556 casing into the chamber (its functionally just part of the conversion's barrel) 22s are incredibly "Icky" (tech term) and the fouling is incredible, and it gets in between the 556 chamber and the .22 conversion 556 adapter. When removed, that cooked .22 ick remains, and unless its scrubbed out carefully it can become an obstruction for the actual 5.56mm round and keep it from fitting properly in an already tight toleranced chamber.

Shooting 223 rounds after 22LR ammo does not clean a thing other than maybe the gas port/tube. It just presses all that gunk into the lands and grooves.

Always clean a 223/5/56 upper within an inch of their life after shooting 22 LR ammo through them.

Hoser put it really well, it packs a high pressure tight toleranced firearm with gunk that it's not designed to accommodate. Hope this helps.
