Gotta put the baby in its seat :o 
This was my first foray into alumahyde and so far I am extremely pleased with it. Put the little blaster together last night and ran 200+ rounds through it with random bulk ammo and not a single hiccup. Holy shit this thing is fun. 4.5" cmmg barrel and bolt, kak micro flash can, 4" guntec m lok handguard. I've got a knock off law tactical folder en route so it'll have an ever smaller footprint for travel or even shooting folded. Really happy with this little cheap build and will be shooting the hell out of it. Wish I had a suppressor for it and my other 22s

I can't wait to get off to go run another few 100 rounds through it lol it is ridiculously fun.
I sold my heavy barreled target 10/22 and had every intention of replacing it with a takedown lite 10/22...and still really want it but I'm not sure if I should bother wasting the money now. ahhh decisions. I just don't like the idea of not having a 10/22 but I'm going to want to pick this thing up to go shoot more often than not I'd imagine. the ruger with a bug blaster scope on it would fill a little different role though I suppose. |

If 22LR bolts and barrels werent so expensive, Id be doing this right now. The CMMG price for bolt/barrel is as much as a PSA complete 22lr upper

already had the upper and lower, painted them just to try out the alumahyde and wanted to use them for a cool/cheap build. All I have into it is the bolt/barrel which were on sale plus a discount put me under 200 for them, the lpk was like 55, handguard another 45 and the knock off law folder was 28 so I spent less than 350 on this.
plus I wanted something unique and super compact, not another rifle length. I've already done a nice 16" taccom build but honestly I rarely shoot it anymore. This one just oozes fun. |

i wouldnt sell any of my ars ~30 but i havent bought any cans post 41f sadly I know I would get a ton more use out of a good 22 can over whatever particular AR I decided I could part with...but I still don't wanna sell 
I specifically went with this 4.5" barrel because everything I read was that even most bulk ammo remains sub sonic through that short of a barrel so it would be a badass suppressor host |

I do like my taccom build but I had a lot of trouble getting that thing tuned to operate reliably. It's been pretty much 100% since but I'm thinking this little bastard isn't going to need the plug like it's big brother. |

Hellllllll yeah, surprised it got here today
, that's only like 12 days straight from China
I typically am totally against using Chinese shit on my guns but this build was to be as cheap as I could manage. I used an enhanced strike industries lpk which I am actually pretty damn impressed with as well and AFAIK all their stuff is made in China too. I went and blasted through another 200 or so rounds before coming home and finding the folder had arrived but not one malfunction, I am loving this thing. Will install the folder when I can her my boy down for a nap. |

10-4 on the DHgate being ok to deal with. Going to set up the app on my iphone today and place my order.
 Attached FileThe photo above is my 22 upper on my 5.56 pistol / SBR pending lower. I have ordered all of the parts to assemble another lower that will be my dedicated 22Lr AR. Once I get it finished and check for function and all is good it will be Formed 1 as well. I am using the A better mag adapter from booine packer. I haven't checked yet to see if S&W makes a 15rd round mag. I know they make a 5 or 10. |

It should be $50 for him to do that. Barrel Threading by eastTXhunter |

I really like the ease of loading the m&p mags, I've got another that I use the solid plastic cmmg mags and blackdog machine mags in.
For sure get the 10/22 takedown, and seriously consider the magpul backpacker stock. I have never seen a more well thought out gun accessory, just waiting on an integral can for that build. It might supplant my 22ar above as my favorite suppressed 22. |

Ok so I've probably got close to or over a thousand rounds through it now, got the red dot dialed in and it's dead on from 40 meters or so on in. I've had literally one malfunction using handfuls of random ass old bulk ammo and it was from emptying a mag as fast as I possibly could. Had a case get jammed in the charging handle even though I'm using the cmmg ch. But one malfunction in 1k on a 22 lr is better than any 22 I've ever owned so I am beyond happy with this thing.
Sooo. Much. Fun. Was shooting spent 12g shells I had sitting on a stick, hitting them the first shot every time off hand. Destroyed my 22 spinner target just popping each side shot after shot lol |

I've got the adapter on mine. Haven't had any issues related to mags. Only issue with the system I've had was running aguila subsonic. They wouldn't reset the hammer consistently. But, that was to be expected. Main reason I went with the adapter is everything I read on this forum concerning 22 AR CMMG conversations had glowing reviews of the adapter. Also have read about how reliable the S&W mags are for their capacity. They are also pretty cheap and can be found at most big box gun shops. The CMMG mags from what I have been told are good but they just cost a bit more that the S&W mags. My cmmg bolt & barrel kit and boonie packer adapter will cycle 100% with CCI SV. And the cheap Acadmey bulk box Winchester weastern cycles flawlessly. Haven’t had a chance to really sit down and run anything thru my chrono using this set up. Everything seams to run a bit faster than out of my M&P22c. |

Laying in bed reading this thread made me want to go shoot mine in the backyard. So I did. Wife asked where I was going and she seen me open the gun safe and went back to watching YouTube on her phone.
Just tried some aguila Standard velocity. Loaded up 10 rounds. First 2 in the mag gave me fits the rest cycled fine. I did have my dust cover closed. Not sure if the extra drag caused it to short stroke. Then shot about 30rds of Winchester M-22 Subsonic and it ran 100% and rang the steel pretty good. Used the Mask instead of the Spectre II. It’s slightly shorter. Also used my little TLR3 and it worked great. Now I need a Armasight spark to mount behind my red dot and a IR light.  Attached File |

Looks good!
Here is my take on the same concept - since I already had two SBR'd lowers... 
4.5 CMMG barrel & bolt set 7" Aero Precision handguard Aero Precision non-forward assist upper Silencerco Sparrow Suppressor Holosun RDS I've also added a Magpul M-LOK Vertical Grip since this photo was taken. The lower has a Geissele SD3G trigger & a LWRC Ultra Compact Stock. It's a ton of fun on the Steel & Plinking range - and the most asked for "Can I shoot that one again" gun when I go to the range. 
I'm thinking about getting a Fostech Echo G2 trigger and seeing if I can get that to run with the 22lr upper - that should add to the silly grin factor.
Have fun, Bob S. |
