.22LR conversion kit in AR-15 - accuracy and function?

Clays at 200 would be a peice of cake for mine, too. You can come out to PSC in Alvin, TX any time and we'll do it!

It will have no effect on the supressor... just disassemble it and clean it to remove all the goo .22 lR's are coated with...

I had a Ceiner kit and it never ran quite right. I'm now building up a 1022-AR15 conversion using the Nordic kit.

NG VI: the CZ kit is already out(i found it on sevral websites) The price for a dedicated upper will be from $250 (cheaper than dirt) up past $1,000 My above thread gives some good compaines that sell them in the $400-$600+ range. this is just a small list, and CZ should be on it. The CZ kit is extremely good, like most other CZ guns.

I have a Colt kit. With my 1:9" Bushmaster 20" barrel (post ban- no flash hider), and a carry handle type A2 rear sight (detachable), I get near perfect reliability (I have had one failure- not including ammo related misfires). This reliability was proven with several high velocity rounds (the kit is high vel only), including Remington Golden Bullets, Winchester Xperts, Federal Bulk Pack.

I have not shot it past 50 feet, yet. However, at that range I have been impressed with the accuracy. At 50', my dad put 5 rounds Winchester Xperts into a dime sized group, leaning on the bench. He had never fired an AR before. An older gent (I would say in his late 70's or early 80's) who had also never held or fired an AR before put 5 rounds into a golden dollar sized group at 50' with it- off hand. All with A2 Iron sights.

I found the accuracy acceptable. It's not MOA or anything. I'd say you won't have any problem keeping 1" groups at 50 yrds with wally world bulk packs.

Same here. Most people say their ciener prefers the Federal bulk packs more than the Remington GBs, but mine runs great with GBs. That may change once I have it broke in though.

My 1/7 twist bbl is good enough for busting clays, cans, and bottles in my back yard. Never took it to the range (waiting on BDM mags) so I dont know what kinda groups (or patterns) it will shoot. Never fired a dedicated upper, but put a few rounds though a WECSOG dedicated upper (M16A1 upper from CDNN, Ciener bolt, plugged gas tube) and I shot better with it than I did my 10-22. But on the flipside, my 10-22 gets shot so little that it still feels weird.

Am I the only one that's noticed this thread is almost two years old?
