Btw, the DPMS upper is really good. DPMS barrels are underrated and the .22lr bolt design is Nordic. But if the price is that close to a Taccom, I'd lean a little towards the Taccom. If you can get the DPMS for about $300-325, I'd get the DPMS.

This. I have one, also went w/ the mag adapter to use the S&W 22 mags. Seems very light and high quality to me.Here's what I would consider a premium option.
$339.95 list, but supposedly they will have new pricing.
This is from the guy that designed the original Nordic Components .22lr upper. I have one of those uppers and I'm shooting under 1/2"@50yds with CCI Standard Velocity, SK Ammo, Wolf Match and under 1"@50yds with CCI Tactical or Blazer.NRA life member CRPA life memberComment

I hear the M&P mags are most reliable and cheap, but require an adapter/block if I'm using a standard lower.
What mags are most of you using for your .22 AR's, and do they have any issues?Comment

I think the base 5.56 twist is the big decider in a .22lr conversion. I had a .223 upper (not 5.56) with a 1/9 twist non-chrome lined barrel that with a ciencer .22lr conversion BCG shot as or more accurate then a 10-22 past 150yards. It also out shot a Colt .22 and one of those GSG clone MP-5s.
So if your current centerfire upper is a 1/7, a conversion BCG will shoot like poop, but I bet a 1/9 will be just as accurate as a cheap .22lr.
Of course a quality made ($400) dedicated 1/16 twist upper will be better, but NEVER as good as a $400 .22lr bolt action, like a Savage Mark II http://www.gandermountain.com/modper...=914301&r=viewComment

I had a Savage Mark II with a bull barrel and it didn't shoot nearly as well as my Nordic."When you get the (men) to the range, you just get the men. But when you bring the (women) to the range, you get the (whole family). And that's what's going to save our 2nd Amendment."--Dianna Liedorff

.22lr AR-15 questions
I bought the S&W 15-22. No problems whatsoever. Shoots great. Easy to find mags. Lightweight, accurate, exact AR controls, easy to clean, and just plain fun. Now why the hell would I want to go and try something more expensive that may or may not work 100% with my lower, have a hard time finding mags, reliability issues, accuracy issues, and whatever else.
left targets and top center are on a rest. Center and right targets freehand all at 50'.

Does anybody have any experience with the Mossberg 715T? I only ask because I just saw it on sale for 250 at a local Big 5.

I hear its a complete fake AR. Please check this out. I was told they took a cheap .22lr and placed it inside a fake AR15 shell... like what guys do here with Airsoft guns.Comment

I've been looking myself for a good deal on a dedicated upper. If I don't find one soon I may just buy the m&p 15/22 at turners. They're on sale right for $399.Comment

I picked up ATI upper in January, have about 3000 rounds through it all different brands ammo, 5 to 8 ftf, accurate enough to hit the 50 yard steel all day long at Sac Valley
