CMMG or ATI AR upper?

[Tom-ADC]

I'm going to have a spare AR lower a New Frontier poly I'm thinking of making a dedicated AR 22LR looking at both CMMG & ATI this okay or is there another to look at?

Robert, thanks, one thing I found is hard to find 10 round magazines.

The ATI isn't great IMHO... The CMMG is good, the TACCOM is FANTASTIC!!

CMMG with Taccom reliability kit..
Or the light weight Taccom EVEN better.

That Taccom is worth looking into, thanks for the link.

Robert, thanks!

Are 22Lr magazines pretty much interchangeable within AR platforms?

Here's the ones I bought Used in a CMMG dedicated upper on a standard MilSpec JD lower. No changes or mods from 5.56 use.

From the webpage:
Recommended compatible .22 AR conversion units and other firearms:
Ciener/Atchisson
Model 1 Sales
Spikes Tactical
Tactical Solutions
Target Master
Kel-Tec PLR22
Sig Sauer 522
CMMG .22 Kit

Looks like these fit *most* popular conversions and uppers. CMMG is a popular, standardized setup.

I have had nothing but problems with my CMMG upper. They have literally replaced every part at least once and it is still a paper weight... The only gun purchase I have ever regretted.

you are one of the few.

I had some issues but the taccom reliability kit solve them all
along with buzzing the chamber.


What issues did you have?

[Diskrete]

Stay far away from ATI and chiappas. They have decent customer service, but you'll append more time sending it back then firing it, especially with the soft metal the chamber is made from, one dry fire and its ruined. Taccom makes good stuff, metal surrounding chamber can take hundreds of dryfires, the cmmg is a solid kit and comes highly reccomended.
My next 22 upper will be a taccom.

What kind of issues?

If its Failures to Fire/Extract/Feed you can get the TACCOM reliability kit and get it taken care of.

I just purchased this dpms upper, received it today and took it out, so far no problems and it comes with 1 mag.

op what did you go with?

CMMG for me, I was going to pull the trigger on the TACCOM but decided to go 556 conversion kit instead. . Of course I have the reliability kit and now need another minus the plug, its a pain to remove from the buffer tube.
that 3.4# for a full rifle with red dot, is insane
