$95 AR15 .22 cal conversion

[damifinowfish]

I was "Helping" a guy this past Sunday and he showed me his $95 dollar .22 caliber conversion for the AR15 that was just a simple swapping out the bolt type of thing.

Anybody have a link to such a thing?

Christmas is coming and I need to by my AR a present!

Thanks

Check with Pat Wheeler of the Full Auto Club. I think he has a similar set-up!

Keep us posted. This sounds like something I won't be able to do without!

CMMG makes a great conversion kit. I've never seen them for $95 but it is most likely what your friend had, or close to it. Generally they go for around $140 with one magazine if you shop around a little.

I have one of the stainless steel versions and it runs great. It's a little more money but its worth it in my opinion. Stainless steel just makes it so much easier to keep clean.

I use mine in a dedicated 22lr suppressed upper I put together for my registered SBR lower.

Theres a ton of videos about them on YouTube. Just search "CMMG Conversion Kit" and it'll come up with a ton of videos.

thank you for letting me shoot few rounds with that toy..

no kidding.. he would know..

That's definitely possible. But I don't see many people sell them as they make for cheap shooting.

No problem. Happy to let others enjoy it too. But I thought you only shot it with the 9mm upper on it? You left before I slapped the 22lr upper on it. There's always next time and hopefully I'll bring more ammo with me.

damifinowfish,

If you do a Google search or YouTube search for "AR15 22lr conversion kit" you'll come up with a ton of info on them. There are a few manufacturers that make them. CMMG, Spikes Tactical, and Ciener are the ones I know of.

Hope the info helps. They're a lot of fun and cheap to boot.

I use the CMMG .22lr conversion kit with a lightweight upper, light trigger, and a slidefire stock. Lots of very controllable, inexpensive, fun.

I bought a used one (Brownell's brand I think) on here with a mag for $80. Haven't taken it to the range yet. This thread reminded me about it and it'll go with me to agc soon!

I picked up one used a few years ago on one of the gun forums. It might be a Ceiner.

I always thought that the conversion kits were flawed because common AR barrel twist rates were unable to stabalize a .22 bullet. Can some set me straight?

Is it "accurate" at 100yds: no. Will it do center of milk jug at 20yds: not always in the center but it'll hit close enough. One could make soda cans dance at a safe distance if they wanted.

Will it shoot Win Red Box all day long for cheap? Hell yes!
Is it one of my go-tos for new shooters or the occasional "anti-conversion tools"? Absolutely!

 

[damifinowfish]

found out he picked it up on an auction site.

It shoot very well at 100 yards.

too bad

Will it do any damage? Say you had a good quality barrel you paid a lot of money for (not that I do). Would it be worth it?

But will they ship those "high capacity massacre" mags to Maryland?

You put lead through it, steel wins every time. Plated stuff would probably wear it a little but I'm not a 'smith and can't say for certain.
