So in light of the recent rash of AR .22 conversion posts, which I was definitely a part of, a frequent problem that came up was .22LR having a slightly smaller size than the .224 barrels of the AR, plus the almost always un-jacketed bullets .22 LR uses.
Well .22 WMR uses a .224 bore size, plus almost all the .22WMR bullets are jacketed. That seems to defeat the issues with using a .22LR conversion bolt, and address the accuracy issue as well. Does anyone make a ciener-type .22 WMR bolt/magazine adapter for the AR? If not, *** are the manufacturers thinking? Why is this not an equally common accessory as the .22LR bolt/magazine?
Because even though .22WMR is way more expensive than .22LR, it's still far cheaper than .223/5.56, and I want one now.
Who's with me on this one? if not, why wouldn't it work?
