[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Speak to me of DEDICATED 22 Uppers

Posted: 6/30/2016 8:25:01 PM EDT

Who's got the most reliable / accurate .22 DEDICATED Upper ?

I have need for one, and I don't want to buy an M&P22, and I don't want an adapter either.

I saw CMMG, Nordic, and CORE make one. Who else?

Please enlighten me - thanks!

They need to be 5" or less barrel and mounted on your SBR lower.

ETA: this is to keep bulk ammo subsonic. Then you put the can on.

Why have a gun and a half, when you can have 2 guns.

Start with a dedicated upper, then get a lower.

Also, I recommend a Clint Beyer barrel, they are most choice.

Had a CMMG a few years ago. Go with the stainless bolt and follow the "buzzing" chamber polishing method.

With Mini Mags it would miss feed maybe one of 100-150 rounds if it was clean. Always used Black Dog magazines.

I will buy another CMMG when the kids get older

Or 20" and mounted on your A2 lower

I have a dedicated CMMG upper with the stainless steel, forward assist, and bolt hold open options (forward assist is not needed but I wanted everything to work).

In my opinion, it is quite accurate and fun to shoot.

I have it zeroed at 87 yards (really

) and it's easy to hit the 4" .22 swingers at 100 yards using my Eotech (without the QD 3x magnifier).

I shoot it with my Kimber 1911 .22 conversion which is also a lot of fun.

I would just get a complete Walther or Umarex .22LR rifle like a Colt M4, M&P 15-22, H&K 416 D145RS, or an MP5 clone.

Everyone else will disagree and say, but but but you can swap uppers out and have a 5.56. These other people seem to forget that everyone in here owns a dozen ARs already, so instead of getting a dedicated .22 upper, you might as well spend the extra hundred bucks for the whole shebang.

I have a CMMG, very accurate and has been 100% reliable so far with many different types of ammo. Definitely recommend.

My CMMG stainless is the most reliable .22 rifle I've had.

My Spikes carbine upper has been great and pretty reliable. I took it to an Appleseed in central Texas ,it was windy and pretty dusty. The upper ran 2 days straight with only a reapplication of lubricant.
