AR style .22?

[oops]

thinking of an AR style .22.. Saw tactical solutions upper and was impressed. I like the Idea of just taking my upper off and slapping that one one. Does anyone have any experience with them.. I like shooting my AR but tired of the cost. .22 looks like fun

I can't speak for the Tacsol uppers but as far as Spikes go I'd say they are fun! Fairly accurate, I say fairly because I shot tight groups at 50 yds but nothing like my custom build. But two different animals, I sold my Spikes as I didn't shoot anything but paper... didn't see the need in having a bad arse tactical .22 to just shoot paper, nor do I have any other AR's to feel the need to practice with .22lr.

Some will require a little tuning... the spring on the bolt may need to be trimmed in order to cycle consistently. But again I can't speak on behalf of the TS upper, just the Spikes.

When I sold my Spikes, the guy said something about if the lower is not marked "multi-cal" that it may be illegal to use a .22 upper. I know that lower's marked .22 cal can only be used with .22 uppers. Not sure on this as I don't have any other AR's to be concerned...but just thought I'd bring this up as you seem to have a AR already.

Please edit this out of your post. It's 100% unadulterated FUD.

Lower caliber markings HAVE NO LEGAL MEANING WHATSOEVER.

Seriously, where do people even get this BS?

In my opinion, the TacSol .22 uppers are the best affordable .22 upper out there.

The BEST would be the compass lake ones, but they are something like 900$.

Go TacSol, you can't go wrong.

I love my CMMG upper. Haven't had a single problem with it in 6-700 rounds.

i guess he is referring to all the state legislation that mentions "centerfire" and not rimfire.

whatever the rifle is able to fire opens the door to what legislation applies. if it capable of shooting a centerfire round, then all the AW stuff needs to be looked into. if the rifle can only shoot a 22LR round then the centerfire laws are not applicable; only the 10round capacity needs to be adhered to (and no grenade laucher of course).


so yeah, if you think about it, caliber markings are just for show. though, don't get one with .50BMG markings

My GSG is more accurate than my T/S AR build. Quite a bit more. A complete GSG costs less than an AR-22 type upper. Just my .02.

I hear no evil and I say no evil! My bad..... happy?

Heres my .02 cents. I have a Model 1 sales M4 .22 upper I bought used from BDSMCHS. Once I figured out it likes 40 gr high velocity ammo it has functioned flawlessly for at least 2000 rds. My roommate has a Tac Sol upper it is super lightweight and looks awesome. He did have a problem with BCG coming apart but Tac Sol customer service is great and they rushed him the parts for free. He has yet to find ammo that it likes and has installed a reduced power spring kit in his lower but it still jams once in awhile. My lower has a standard Stag Lpk and I use that one lower for my .22 upper, stag 556 upper and my bushmaster upper without any problems.

Seriously? More FUD? After agreeing with me?

Your lower can say "40mm grenade launcher" and it's still legal. Your lower can say ".50BMG" and it's still legal.

Lower markings don't mean anything. All that matters is the final config.

markings don't mean ****. it can say 50bmg it can say 100bmg it can say whatever you want. what it will fire is what matters.

[sephy]

No I got the dedicated upper.

[Iknownot]

The Spikes dedicated uppers are very nice. They just work.
