LW-15 polymer lower into a dedicated 22LR, whose done it?

[cc56]

So I plan on getting one of the LW-15 AR lowers and putting a CMMG 22LR upper on top. I wanted to know who has done it and what the results were. I am also interested in other 22LR upper makers like Chippa (spelling), spikes, etc.... Thanks

i plan on doing so
and havent really found anything other than the cmmg upper yet
still looking

That's how I built my AR22, I used a Plumcrazy lower with a Tactical solutions LT upper and a Simmons 4 x 32 scope, the whole thing weights only 5 pounds 4 ounces.

Here is how it looks!

I just bought a New Frontier Armory LW complete lower with this as its intended purpose. I have been looking at Spikes uppers so far but nothing set in stone yet.

The guy at RifleGear told me that I don't need a bullet button if I am using it as a rimfire. I am always skeptical about the information that shops give me so does anyone know if this is true or where I could find some literature on it?

I did a LW15 + Tactical solutions LT upper

picked up a $30 red dot @ big 5 that sort of works...

Have you read the AW Flowchart provide by the CalGuns Foundation?

Read question number six for your answer.

What are you looking for that CMMG doesn't offer?

LW-15 looks like a exact copy of
PCF...

If it is.

I recommend getting a blowback hammer for it and JP yellow springs.
Just the hammer spring.

The OEM FCG group was no issues after that.

Not sure what you mean
I didn't say cmmg doesn't offer anything, I said I plan on 22 upper
To be more clear I guess. I am looking at getting cmmg as I haven't found anything else that I want
But since them, a couple have been mentioned, each deserving consideration. Still undecided myself

I wonder if anyone would do a group buy for 22 upper with bcg and mags

take a look at Nordic Components NC-22 upper. On sale they can run $450. More of a proprietary design. Ive had great experience with mine, shoots 100%

I've been planning to do this the last few days, interesting to see there was already a thread on it.

I have a short CMMG .22 upper planned (if the ATF ever gets around to my paperwork ). But I want a home for it when my AR-15 is in centerfire mode. When I saw how inexpensive the New Frontier polymer lowers were I thought "Bam... dedicated .22LR pistol lower to go with the .22LR SBR upper." I think it will work nicely for that.

There is a thread currently in the Centerfire Rifles forum about a few issues with the New Frontier lowers, but from the flow of the thread it seems they were/are quickly resolved and that New Frontier is very helpful to work with.

I think that Dave only said something because he's tried a good number of available options...

I just put together a new frontier lower and a tactical solution 22 upper.
\
mine upper had the standard gas block front sights but no rear sights. I put a truglo red dot reflex sight on it and took it to the range. I went through 250 rounds of 22 in about an hour or so. I LOVE IT. tons of fun and super economical. the way I figure it, Big 5 sells 50 rounds of 223 for about 22 bucks. My trip today would have cost me $100 bucks in ammo. I paid $600 for the Tac Sol upper and at this rate, I just need to go to the range about 5 more times and I will have paid for the upper just in ammo savings.

I used Winchester match grade lead ball ammo. I got some problems with some of the rounds not ejecting right. It would get hung up in the BCG. Out of 375 rounds I had thig happen about 20 times. The worst jam was when the brass would get lodged between the BCG and the charging handle. I had to unpin the rear of the upper to get the shell out. Anyone else has this problem?

I might be ammo related. I will try a different brand next time.

Overall it's a great setup bc you can shoot all day long and not feel it in the pocket book.
