Now that the immediate threat to our 2A has relaxed, I'm starting to consider diversifying my rifles/ calibers.
My philosophy has changed. With the exception of a .357 revolver and a 12 gauge, all my handguns are .40 and all my rifles and AR15s. I want to add 7.62X39, 30-06, .308, and .22
The 1st one I'm adding (less some unforeseen deal that pops up in my travels) is the 22. Clandestine, who has been bringing me up on the AR platform recommended the S&W 15-22.
That recommendation did get me wondering if there are conversion kits out there that may prove reliable and suitable. I like taking a plinker I have and bringing a greater function to the rifle by converting it to one of my desired new calibers to my collection. However, if the barrel twist rates through the accuracy off, or the mags and .22 BCG aren't reliable, I don't want to waste the money. I thought I'd ask if any of you guys have converted an AR to .22LR and if so, are you getting high round counts with no reliability issues? Also, what is your accuracy with the .223/5.56 barrel twists?
