There should be no issues when slapping a 22lr to your ar lower. I was considering purchasing one of those 22lr conversion kits for my sporter. All the kit consist of is the bolt and spring..nothing to it really.

It's been posted numerous times, but I would avoid using the "conversion kit" 22LR mods. It's too close to a standard 223, and if you can fit a standard AR magazine into it, that's REALLY tempting to any kind of overzealous DA. Now, if you plan on loading it flop-top style with a pinned mag, that's not a problem.

But if you want to take advantage of the "not-centerfire" status so you can have a detachable mag and pistol grips, then make absofreakinglutely sure that you're using a dedicated upper that's difficult to remove so that they can't just say you were going to swap it over to a centerfire upper, AND that it will not accept standard AR mags with the upper installed. For perspective, the V-22 has a ridiculously tight fit, and I'm not even sure it COULD be removed without tools. I know I always have to use a polymer punch, a hammer, and plenty of force to remove the upper when doing maintenance.

Geez now I know why the older guys on the forum get pissed when they post the same thing 3 million times a month...please use the search button on top. It works wonders for questions like yours.
