.22LR or .223? Big difference between 5.56/.223 and .22LR. Just wondering.

Do you have a reliable 5.56 Carbine? If so, and you dont have a suppressed 22 already, then go .22LR

A .22LR in an AR pistol will just be a cheap to shoot fun gun. A 5.56/.223 would be good for longer ranges and and sort of HD/SD. Depends on what you want from it. As I said they are two different cartridges. Very different. |

Thanks for other comment/input. Get both? Hmmmm, tempting. Already have a few others in 5.56 that are not budget build. Im too poor to buy .300 blk.  since switching jobs.

 Do the .22LR conversion thing. It's a hoot. This is a 5.56 barrel cut-down to 3.5" long, without a functioning buffer tube assembly, that my son threw together one Saturday afternoon. With the conversion units (at least with most of them), not only do you not need a functioning buffer tube assembly, the barrel doesn't even need a gas port, a gas tube or a gas port housing. |

Planning on doing a 9” .22lr build I already have two solid 5.56 rifles and want something I can shoot cheap until 5.56 comes back to sane prices
