For you guys using those mcx type folding stocks, what are you using for the pic rail adapter in place of a castle nut/buffer tube?

Had these Lyman Target sights on a 20" CMMG upper a few pages back. I've since moved them to this. It's a KRISS DMK22 with a 24" Green Mountain (10/22) barrel. This is fund to shoot.

Bases and sights. The bases are made by Lipski...I don't think you can get them anymore; at least the one for the rear sight. The front was available at Creedmoor sports or Champions Choice...I can't rember. Medesha offers something similar too. The Lyman sights are still available. I have other AR22s with optics up to 24x but this one makes a nice sight picture and is just plain fun to shoot. Williams makes a set of similar target sights....just gotta figure out how to mount them. |

I'm looking at getting a Bentz reamer and a $50 GM blank to hopefully make a 16.5 and a 6.0 upper Buffer put in backwards, no need for the BoreBuddy spacer I'm interested in how you do this. Do you wrestle with the spring whenever open/close the receiver? Or do you put the buffer on top of the spring and fully compress it when you close the receiver? I was very lucky to have come across this KRISS Build. There was a fella on another forum that purchased it from another fella that built it. It wouldn't cycle reliably for him so he sold it...cheap. In fact, the picture he posted didn't even show the entire length of the barrel. I figured it was a 16" bull barrel but it showed up a 24". I shot it with scope at 25 yds the first time I took it out. I was easily making 1/2" 10-shot groups leaning on the shooting bench at an indoor range. When I took it to a 50yd range, I discovered the firing pin was broken. A common occurrence I've come to learn with the Kriss Bolt. Are you wanting to turn your own barrel for use with the CMMG bolt and collar? I have a friend with heavy taper 16" CMMG barrel. You'll need a collar too then you'll be set. Since this is a picture thread, here's another AR22 of mine. It's an 18" Keystone Accuracy build. This shoots 3/4-1" groups at 50yds with CCI Std V pretty consistently. I haven't tested it with any "high end" ammo yet. I have yet to acquire any.

BoreBuddy is releasing Bentz chambered "match" barrels in the next couple months. Our sporting chambered barrels will under 1" at 50 with CCI SV with ease, so we'll see how much there is to gain with a Bentz. Probably a bit, I'm hoping for MOA with most decent ammo type.

I slide the upper receiver onto the lower after reversing the buffer, and then I pop in both pins. Works pretty well and isn't super hard.
I'm looking to make my own barrel for use with my CMMG bolt, and from what I can see I should be able to just bore out the collar with the fake 5.56 case on it instead of needing to buy the other type. I'd get a pre made barrel like a Keystone or Borebuddy, but for what that would cost me I can easily buy a reamer and barrel blank and do all the work myself, while having enough barrel to make a subsonic upper and a 16 inch upper. |

This is my 22lr setup. Quite an expensive story.
I saw the self-contained Tippmann bugout pistols selling out real fast so I bought one and then (like magic) by necessity; I almost immediately needed to to take advantage of Tippman's limited time offer to send this in to have it converted to a rifle length firearm in order to keep it. SO; what this is, is a rifle with a hollow buffer tube and a side folder, originally marketed as a pistol by Tippman. I added an A2 stock and then a cheap chinese copy Geissele mount to hold an old school Shepherd P22LR rangefinding scope. Have about 1200 in this as it sits, although the original factory pistol upper which remains a part of the package, I still retain; along w/ the factory conversion paperwork. I figured such a complete package might be collectible someday. As a bonus; I figure the empty buffer tube can hold at least 25 properly packaged condoms. (Just in case my barrel needs protecting.) And the A2 stock can hold at least 100 loosely packed rounds and a mini-bic lighter, maybe a couple fish hoooks, a suture kit, a small tent....ok ok     (rings represent a 9" circle at the various ranges, based on circa 1250fps 40gr projo)  |

They've moved all of their stuff to the Geissele website now... https://geissele.com/our-brands/alg.html not even sure if they're still producing these tubes. They are smaller diameter but they will clear a low-pro gas block. I think this one is a 15". Just looking at it...it's a 24" barrel and the handguard looks to be covering more than half. They're pretty solid and rigid. You might have to keep an eye on the EE to find one nowadays. On another note, I really like that tube with the circular holes in it that you posted in that thread. What is that? |

Here is link to a site selling a 22 LR magazine which appears to be the old Grey or Black CMMG mags. I have five or six of this type of Gray CMMNG mag and they are gtg. I also have about twenty BDM mags of various generations and capacity. I bought BDM Sonic weld magazines for my last AR-22 I purchased this year. I have never purchased from Arms Unlimited but there is a thread below discussing these mags. These are the cheapest price for CMMG compatible mags I’ve seen.

...can't believe I just found this thread.
I just barely finished building a "22lr Gun from HEAT clone", to match my "5.56 Gun from HEAT clone"...Took it out to test fire it last night (indoor range local) and shot over 400 rounds thru it. It's pretty dang fun. I have an Axiom suppressor that works on it also. Here is a pic of the brand new dedicated .22, barrel shortened to be same length as 11.5" 5.56, by John Thomas. Although I do like the ACT trigger, I'm going to replace it or paint it, I don't like the silver. 22 on top, 5.56 on bottom.
