    I had this kit for like 8 years and shot plenty of rounds in my AR. I went a long time in between cleaning it and fired .223 a lot in between. I never had any jams with the .223 but the Conversion bolt does have ejecting issues if You run it dirty for too long. It’s accurate enough but you may have trouble hitting a clay pidgeon at 100 yards. The longer your barrel the more accurate from my experience. It’s pretty poor with barrels shorter than 16”. Keep in mind the ar has a 1:7 to 1:9 twist rate while the .22 has a 1:16 which is a big difference. I ended up getting a 9”. .22 barrel and the thing can hit small targets at 100yds. This is a great product.

    Have owned the conversion kit for several years now and it has never failed and is more accurate than most folk think. This may also have to do with the twist rate. Using my 16" carbine with 1:9 twist, it shoots very accurate, like nickle size groups or less at 50 yrds. Like you said, your rifle will get very dirty, not to bad in the chamber, but the FCG will get really caked with powder.

    Running this on my 7.5" AR pistol with a muzzle brake and it works perfectly! The only issues I've had were with old ammo that had been sitting in a box for years, it had some misfires which were easily cleared. Had a couple of failures to feed as well with the old ammo which I attributed to old powder not moving the bolt back far enough to pick up the next round. Once I switched over to new ammo it ran and ran and ran, no issues. I even shot some subsonic without a suppressor and it ran those perfectly too! Gonna need to get a 22lr can for this setup so I can have some quiet fun!
    22lr is getting pricey too, but not nearly as much as 556 so if you have an inclination pick one of these kits up and go out and enjoy your ARs and bring that Ruger 10/22 along to compare!

However after reading the instructions, I found out that you are NOT supposed to use the little black bolt buffer with this kit UNLESS you are using a bolt buffer weight with it. So I will only end up using the buffer plug To keep better pressure forward on the bolt conversion kit and the insert that goes inside the charging handle to reduce gas blowback through the charging handle.

  • @thewatcher611
    @thewatcher611 3 роки тому +3

    I started with this kit, it came with 3 mags. I gotta say, it is pretty awesome. Fit in my .223 wylde just fine. The 20 inch barrel shot most 22 with decent accuracy at 25 to 50 yards. BUT... i hated cleaning it after. I hated even more leaving my 5.56 dirty from .22lr. The star chamber is a pain without the OTIS or Avid tool. You should take in to account the average .22lr bullet is a bit smaller than ideal for your .223/5.56 barrel. For these very reasons, I built a dedicated .22lr upper. 9" CMMG .22lr barrel. They can come with an adapter that will let your conversion kit mate to your .22lr barrel perfectly. The .22lr chamber is in the barrel. Accuracy gains were awesome. I can now, with open sights, hit a 4" plate at 100 yards most of the time, and hit an 8x10" plate at 100 almost all the time. Couldn't do that with the 5.56 barrel. My build: Aero lower and upper, Palmetto EPT trigger, BCM mod (forget which) grip, Magpul larger trigger guard, Aero Upper: Aero UPK, CMMG 9" .22lr barrel. KAW valley flash forwarder (aluminum 9mm PCC type), Midwest Industries super slim MLOK handguard 10.5 inch, Midwest barrel nut. CMMG bravo conversion bolt and mags, IMI defense CH, Magpul flip up irons, with KNS precision .052 sight post. Currently topped with Truglo 1-4 LPVO. I know that's a lot, but it is so fun. It took me about 9 months of looking and gathering to get it together. I actually decided to go 22lr near the end, was originally gonna do a 10.5 5.56 AR, but this was for sure worth it. Shoots great, reliable, not picky on ammo. I use the same reloader Eric does, that he didn't really mention. That is much needed. Thanks for reading! Keep plinkin!!!!
