Might be nice to swap in easily at the range when I want to keep shooting and save some money. I have several ARs so this is a nice solution. I see 500rd packs of 22LR on ammoseek for $179 and that’s Remington brand.

My ARs are all PSA brand but it looks like the fitnent issues on the above product have been resolved.

I have the CMMG and the Ceiner. My take on it is that a conversion kit for range fun is a lot of work because .22lr fouls up the barrel and action pretty quickly. My conversion kits live in my bug out bag along with a hundred pack of CCI Stingers because having some flexibility in ammo when on the move may be valuable and that combination gives me hunting flexibility in a light package. I pretty quickly just switched to a dedicated .22lr upper. The nice thing is the mags for all of them are the same.

Prolly just get a M&P 15-22 at that point...

My cmmg 22 conversion is fantastic. I have a linear comp (10.5" AR pistol) which helps reliable cycling. I just had it out with some 42gr Eley and it's clean ammo but just fired a few 5.56 afterwards to blow out any 22 fouling.
It's really great trigger time with my main rifle and it's just fun.

I have a TacSol M4 upper (which it seems they don't produce any more) that drops on an AR lower. It's more accurate than the conversion kits. I like it quite a lot.

I bought one back in 08/09 during that ammo “shortage” which is a joke compared to this one. I always liked it for inexpensive range days that don’t break the bank. Sometimes if I needed to rezero I would use this first to get on paper, then swap it out. (50m)
I haven’t used it in a long time but if I remember right you have to dump a good bit of oil on for it to cycle. Definitely dirty but it’s nothing a bore snake won’t fix

For that price I'd just buy another 10/22.

Yup. Its what we did.

Same here and sitting on at least 10k rounds of 22. It's probably going to see a lot of action this year!

I have the kit and it works well.
BoreBuddy makes upgrade parts for it that make it awesome.

I started out with a conversion kit and ended up getting a dedicated 3.5” .22 barrel once I got my first can. Fun little upper and some bulk ammo runs subsonic through it.
I still run it in my 10.5 upper on occasion.
