I understand the .22 trainer concept, but magazine size is now a factor in a rimfire trainer rifle? Please...When you're using it as a trainer, you want those big mags so it feels exactly like reloading a centerfire.
There is a new AR derivative that uses 10/22 mags but I forget who makes it.
You know, what would actually be a good trainer and be reasonable in ammo cost would be a 9mm AR. People can reload the 9mm so there's never a shortage as long as you have the components, it has a similar recoil, more reliable, and the mags are not ridiculous.
The OP hasn't indicated he's looking for a .22 AR as a "trainer", he seems to be more interested in the AR platform for .22 compared to other .22 rifles. Mag size for such a small round is something to factor in when making a decision.
