I have a spikes .22 conversion kit and I would like to get a dedicated barrel and collar for it. My daughter is really getting into shooting and has asked for a .22 of her own base on the AR platform.
What are my options as spikes no longer carries the dedicated collars? Barrels only according to the website.
Are CMMG barrels and collars compatible with spikes conversion bolts??

Thanks in advance.

Spike's barrel's collar (Ciener, M1S, Redtazdog, others) .500".
CMMG .460".

I saw some youtube video from brownells that CMMG dedicated barrel with collar installed to a 22lr kit, but for a suggestion you may call brownells about the compatibility issues of the kits.

This........ +1.
The CMMG Collar will fit the Spike's Conversion... But only mates with a CMMG
or in some cases Clint Beyers Barrels...

All, thanks much for the help. I am glad to hear that they are compatable as it will let me put something together for the daughter much cheaper than buying a dedicated upper.

I do both the cmmg .460 and the .500 barrel shanks and collars so
users have a choice.

Redtazdog: I had a feeling you'd be doing both but we had to hear it from you...


Redtazdog does very, very nice work too...

Kinda in the same situation. But want to make sure this works. I have a Spikes conversion with a dedicated barrel. Will the CMMG conversion and collar work with my barrel? (I want to ditch the Spikes due to the parts availabilty issue).

The Spikes collar will fit the CMMG rail. Some require minor fitting.

Walked into Element Arms over the weekend to buy a couple magazines and there on the rack was a CMMG 16" lighweight upper with SS evolution bolt. Said what the heck and bought it. Took the daughter to the range last night and surprised her. She had a blast. Ran 100% with Wally World 550 value pack.
