Started out with the Air Force M261 conversion and mag inserts with an Olympic Arms Stainless Ultra Match (SUM) upper, 1:10 twist and Stagg lower. Worked very well with heavy subsonic bullets from PMC (no longer available.) Lighter bullets were not as accurate.
Picked up a CZ V22 dedicated upper. Side charger, no place to mount a front sight. Proprietary mags. No place to mount a front sight, but functioned well and fairly accurate with the right ammo. I forgot what it liked to shoot.
My last build was a CMMG dedicated upper. I like this build the best. Tried a variety of magazines until I settled on the S&W 15-22 mags. LRBHO feature works with these mags. I don't remember which ammo it liked.
In between the builds I picked up the Umarex Colt M4 .22 rimfire carbine. Looks like a real Colt, especially with the rollmarks, but it is not an AR. Fun plinker. Kids like it. Don't really care for it.
I still have everything. Probably time to get rid of everything except the CMMG. That's the only one I would keep.
