Average 22lr upper

I was hoping there was a solid piece of metal made to plug it using stock pin to hold it lol

Regarding your other thread about piston AR uppers. The Adams kits/uppers easily convert to 22lr by installing the kit and turning the gas regulator off and pull the op rod off. *Nothing else needed.

*if you're gonna dedicate the upper to 22lr then grease the regulator and put it back in the gas block (in off position). The dirty 22lr residue will cause it to stick without grease.

Any Adams piston rifle easily converts to 22lr. Kit or oem upper.

Conversion is done by installing the 22lr kit and THEN remove the op rod and grease the regulator and put the regulator back in the gas block/turned to off position.


Hope that makes sense.

Skip the SW would be my advice and go dedicated..I considered the SW when I first got into wanting a AR22 for the kids when they were younger..I was talked out of it on the AR15 forum and am still thankful they did that for me

I do not know if you can do a A2 complete Rifle anymore for this price..But not including the 200.00 Binary Trigger..I have less than 600.00 in assembling this one..But you have to be patient and scrounge the deals on parts from Forum for sale ads and such..It is all FN USGI that can be legally..Stock, buffer, hand guards, FN A2 upper reciver and pistol grip..Lower is a M16A2 clone lower with proper markings. It is so far above a SW there is no comparison..

A BCG with an adjustable gas key will allow one to tune or shut off the gas without messing with the barrel. No need really with a conversion bolt, very little gas leaks out and does not affect performance of the .22LR round.

The 1/7 twist and .223 diameter will, in a bad way.

Thanks and it was considered but going with leaving upper as is and disabling the gas tube somehow

Thanks but as I mentioned above I already have an upper and slapped in a cmmg kit

I found an old USGI 1:16 upper at a gun show decades ago

Add that along with a ciener kit


And it's a lot more than a 10/22

Isn't it a bit funny that when it comes to centerfires weight is a concern where lighter is often better but when it comes to 22s in an AR, lighter is not?

There are skeletonized lowers, practically spider web light handguards, extra light this and that for centerfire ARs to get them as light as possible bbut a 4+ pound 22AR is too light.

I doubt that the poly used to make the S&W MP15-22 is a factor in durability or real world accuracy, they seem to sell plenty of them. If you need metal, there is always the HK416-22 which is very nicely done. I've seen comments asking if the HK was using 7075 instead of 606X and I laughed. 7075 isn't going to make one bit of difference in how long a 22 AR lasts.

As far as costs go, its possible to scrounge parts but then when its all totaled up the savings aren't as much as you might think. For that you're getting a heavier 22 which isn't going to last any longer than a good dedicated 22 AR and it won't have a warranty either, the S&W and HK both come with very good no worry warranties, buy it and forget it.

Hey Hermos..Are you sure you did not find a older M16 1/12 twist barrel? They are better for the .22 conversions for sure 4ather than a 1/7 or 1/9..

The Army and the Air Force both had ceiner conversions..I have owned both, but the AF one was the better version for sure..They were different in a few ways between each respective branches...

Happen to still have the upper?
