If you're trying to decide whether to buy one or not, I'd say do it. It's pricey for sure, but you're really getting a quality product. Again, we were hitting 4" swingers at 100 yds. w/ red dots (Rich was using an Aimpoint, I was using a Clonepoint) and Federal bulk ammo. These things are plenty accurate. If we went w/ magnified optics, our game of HORSE would resemble the Jordan-Bird commercials.

Supposing I go TacSol and replace the trigger, would the rounded trigger work just as well if I switch back to .223/5.56?

I would go with the Spikes Tactical...

Explanation would be great.

Ok, the original notched hammer was a thing done by Colt to make it harder for people to modify their semi-auto AR's into going fully-auto.

A true M16 hammer has a rounded face, and an AR15 with a rounded hammer is closer to "mil spec" than one with a notched hammer.

The rounded hammer is actually the ideal hammer for all situations, and works better for a 9mm conversion as well.

Any opinions on the velocityfirearms.com uppers? Cheapest I've found, which makes me wary...

If I can hit a soda can at 50 or 60 yards, most of the time, I'll be plenty happy. I don't need a match .22, that's what my sweet li'l honey of a Ruger is for. I just want something I can plunk around with, without it jamming up too much or breaking on me, and something "cool looking" I can let kids and chicks at the range play with.

I looked into these and was seriously going to buy one for a while until I learned more about the company.

Basically, velocity firearms is the same company as hesse/vulcan/blackthorne and is one to stay away from.

If you're on a budget I highly recommend the Model1 Sales dedicated uppers. They are nice and reliable, mil-spec, and use nice aluminum receivers

Classic commercial!!

Would you guys recommend Compass Lake or Spikes with a Lothar Walther barrel upgrade for best accuracy, and reliability?

If you've got the money for Compass Lake, go Compass Lake. Period.

But I didn't have $1000 for a .22lr upper, I only had $600, so I went with the TacSol

Spikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
