Alright, so I want a .22 conversion unit for my AR15; that being said, I can't make up my mind as to if I want a drop-in .22lr unit (could afford it within a week or two, use any extra $$$ for more mags and ammo, but not as accurate, etc), or a dedicated .22lr upper (better accuracy & twist rate, but a little more pricey, etc). Cheap plinking while using my AR is one of the primary reasons of interest, as I could shoot it for cheaper--but I don't want something with "terrible" accuracy. On the flipside, I do have a slight worry about the .22lr "leading up" the barrel and/or gas port cut for my .223. And of course, "bang for the buck" is always handy.
I already have a .22 rifle, and a .22 conversion for my 1911, for the record. Please don't suggest getting a different .22 rifle.
So, vote--if you were going to get one or the other for an AR15 for the above reasons, and were a college kid whose income flow stops in a few weeks (when I go back to college, can't work or earn $$$ due to course load), what would you do if you wanted to get a .22lr conversion?
