You can't link to a page from Fulton Armory because of the way their website is set up but here is the description

They were using Rick Kuehl's barrels a while back. As a matter of fact, they were selling the Kuehl barrels on closeout and I scored one for the parts drawer. Whether they are still using Kuehl barrels or not, I don't know. If you get one, let us know how it turns out.

I've heard it was the other way around, that they were making them for Keuhl....?? |

I've got one and like it. Looks like a modified Ciener system with the 22lr chambered barrel.
I've only shot it offhand at 25 yards and rather informally but was pleased with accuracy. I can't be any more specific. Worked with three different ammo types, Wolf, Remington and CCI. I've not handled any other 22lr upper, but this one is same quality as any other top brand 5.56 upper I own. C97 |

When I bought it, the Fulton Armory guys called it a "Kuehl barrel". I had heard that Rick bought the blanks and had Lakeside do the machine work to interface with the Ciener kit. I guess the point is moot anyway because Kuehl is on his last run of barrels. |

I own two Fulton .22LR uppers. Like all of Fulton's stuff, the quality is excellent and the price was exorbitant.
The first is a 16" A2 upper with an M4-style barrel. This upper has ~5000 rounds and it runs like a top as long as I keep it cleaned (every 500 rounds or so). Very accurate and reliable. The second is a 20" A4 with a S/S NM barrel that has never been fired, and is available in the EE right now.

A shame it isn't their "Mirage" style with a front sight, or I'd most likely jump on it. I'm looking for a .22LR complete upper that I can stick on my existing lower, but I want one that's comparable to my current upper (20" A4 HBAR, although A2-style is fine too because then I don't need to buy a rear sight - I shoot mostly iron sights anyway, and the .22 would be for close-range plinking). The Mirage is almost what I'm looking for, too bad it's so expensive. If they made a "standard" version that wasn't match-grade, that'd probably be perfect. |

The barrel is machined for a FSB, but I never installed one because I was planning for this to be a paper puncher with a good scope. |
