I have tried several different 22 LR conversions including the Colt and an AF 22 LR conversion. I had lots of malfunctions with both of these systems. About 15 years ago I had Accuracy Speaks build me a dedicated 22 LR upper. With the right ammo it shoots under 1/2 inch at 50 yards. Two years ago I had a dedicated 5 1/2 inch 22 LR AR upper built for my SBR AR so I could put my GemTech Outback II can on it. It is not as accurate as the Accuracy Speaks upper but I'm not looking for accuracy out of this 22 LR AR. It is fun to shoot and I don't have to wear ear protection when shooting it. It and the S&W M&P AR 22 are what I use when teaching women to shoot an AR.
