| A few years ago I bought a Chiappa M4-22 upper on a Black Friday sale for the ridiculous price of $139. Yes, the upper is made of a black polymer material. And I needed to lightly sand down the section that mates to the lower to take the pressure off the front pivot. But it runs great with the two Black Dog mags it came with and it's a real hoot at the range. Something to consider if you're on a budget.

| If you are not opposed to buying a complete 22 AR, have a look at Tippmann Arms' M4-22 Rifles. They are supposed to be amazingly good quality guns. |

I have a 9" barrel Nordic 22lr upper. It's a decent upper and a whole lot of fun to shoot. I also have a JP 18" 22lr upper, which is in a different class of accuracy. I highly recommend a dedicated 22lr upper, rather than a conversion. Understand that it may take some break in time for the upper to function well -- this depends on how the chambers were cut. Both my Nordic and my JP have tight chambers, meaning there are a few light strikes and failures to extract at first. This can be mitigated by keeping the chambers clean. John Paul (who owns JP Rifles) also stated that a drop of oil on the first top round of every few magazines helps with some types of ammo. The wax on some types of 22lr ammo builds up in the chamber as more and more rounds are fired. This occasional drop of oil cuts through the wax, allowing the rounds to fully seat in the chamber. Again, this issue is more likely to occur with a tight chamber -- the type of chamber that favors better ammo, and that produces better accuracy. |

| A gazillion years ago I bought a complete upper from Fulton Armory. With black dog magazines it works great.
