which ar conversion kit

[nrakid88]

Im selling a quad rail and some goodies to fund a conversion kit for 22lr for my AR. So which would you pick and why? Spikes tactical or Ciener, or another I dont know of. Also, what kind of accuracy can I expect?

I have used a JAC and a Spikes kit and had fantastic results with both using BDM. I sold my JAC only to consolidate my parts/repair kit since I already had an ST-22. Spikes you can run dry (no oil to attract fouling).
With my 1 in 9 twist barrels rolling cans to 50 yards is not a problem. I would say minute of milk jug at 100yds.

Spikes is nice, but if you need it now you can get a CMMG. Spikes is usally a 2 to 3 week wiat.

I ordered the spikes about a week ago. I like the coating on the spikes so i can run it much more dry and i hate the way the Ciener mags look.
I figured the extra cost of the Spikes was worth the amount of customer service they have. Can't wait to get!!

ciener is known for bad customer service. I like my ciener only, for what it is, not who sold it. I have heard great things about Spikes. My ciener has never failed, but the mags will cause feed problems if not taken care of.

also check out tactical solutions. i talked to them at the shot show and they partnered with black dog machining (known for their .22lr mags). they don't sell conversion kits, but rather the complete upper assembly!

Based on my experience (and others) you may need to tune the Spike's bolt. Check here: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.htm...f=282&t=168048

Enjoy.

I use the ceiner and the blackdog mags and don't have any problems. After about a year without a serious cleaning, the ceiner extractor was junked up and needed scraping clean. It had started to have a few extraction problems here and there but otherwise works great.
