| Is the cost near what a 10/22 goes for?
Maybe you want the AR platform, I understand. |

| I have multiples of dedicated 22lr AR uppers. This is the way to go. The conversion bolts are never going to give you anything other than the ability to go "bang". They aren't accurate, they will dirty up your AR something fierce with molten lead. Just stay away.
2 of mine are the old Spikes Tactical versions. Very accurate, very well made. One worked perfectly out of the box, one required some fiddling with the recoil spring to make it work. One is a PSA that I had nothing but issues with at first and then about a couple hundred rounds in it became a sewing machine. It was not accurate was the problem. Like wildly inaccurate. So bad that I called for a label to send it back bad. While waiting I kept shooting it. All of a sudden all the issues went away. Poof. To this day I have no idea what changed.
As for the 15-22 mags they will work, albeit sloppily, in a standard AR magwell. Better solution is the Boonie Packer Better Mag Adapter. 20ish bucks and the mags fit like they should. Way better than using Black Dog Mags which I have a bunch of and am not a fan of. |

| I have the CMMG conversion kit that I use in a PSA 16” upper with a rifle length gas system actuated by a Timney 667S trigger. I did have to replace the trigger hammer with a AR10 hammer as I was getting some light strikes that I did not get with the Mil-Spec trigger I originally used. Have put several hundred, closer to a thousand rounds through it. I’m choosy what ammunition that I use mainly Federal Automatch. I do run maybe four or five 5.56 rounds through the rifle to every couple hundred .22’s that go through it. So far so good for the action. I did have some hiccups with the conversion bolt initially but between running it wet and a wear in period not it functions fine. I use it in the .22 configuration for steel plate shooting at my gun club. 55 yards with iron sights and I’m happy to hear the “ping”.

| If I was doing it over again I'd get a complete Tippman firearm.
