22lr uppers, who likes what?

[Iknownot]

Everyone seems to like the Spike's 22lr upper, because you can drop them onto a 223/556 lower with no fiddling and they work.

I understand the bolt and it's recoil system is self-contained and that it does not use the stock buffer tube or recoil spring.

Does the Model 1 sales 22lr upper work in the same way? I haven't been able to figure it out from internet searches.

Besides Spike's and Model 1 sales uppers, which I can see are some of the more highly regarded 22lr uppers, who makes decent 22lr uppers as well, that are drop in?

(I am not interested in an upper where the lower or BCG would have to be futzed around with (adjusted) to get it to run with a lower set up for 223/556).

Anyone else I should be looking at? Thanks for the help.

I believe Tactical Solution's .22 upper is a all in one kit like the M1S and Spike's uppers.

I like Spike's.

The bolt and recoil system does not require the stock buffer tube or buffer spring, but you don't need to modify or change them to use the .22 upper.

i have a tacsol .22 upper and this thing is a tack driver!...value pack bullets are decent up to 100yards but quality bullets (even just the less expensive CCI minimags) are accurate as heck!....just be prepared to have FTE FTF rounds once in a while with the bulk ammo, but other than that its a great investment

I have a Spikes and love it. I can't comment on the others but the Spikes is one reliable upper I only get one or 2 FTEs out of a box of bulk ammo from Walmart. I have more problems with the more expensive stuff.

No one has the model 1 20 inch 22lr upper? I'm curious as to how well that one works. Seems like a good value.
