I was looking at those at one point, but I haven't read anything about them. CMMG is all over the place around here, so I bought a dedicated upper for $350. It is well worth the extra money to know you have a good product and people that stand behind it.
Besides your probably gonna spend right at $300 by the time you ship it. I don't regret buying my CMMG. |

I would spend a little extra and get the CMMG with black bolt to be close to the price range.

Had one. Front sight broke day 1, didn't cycle ammo. FTF's, and FTE's constantly.... all with NO support from Chiappa. PM me your e-mail address and I can send you all my un-responded to e-mails from Chiappa. Won't return phone calls either. Ended up buying a CMMG upper.

Do some searching on this upper before buying one. There is a reason CMMG has taken over the .22 AR market with a quality unit at a fair price.

My chiappa upper has been 100% flawless since I bought it. For a 22 plinker, I just don't see the advantage in paying the extra money for a CMMG.

I have 2 of the Chiappa uppers on 2 Plum Crazy lowers. They are very light and make a good light weight build. I built 1 of them for the wife and she loves it. I got mine for $250 each so they were a good price. I am happy so far and have put over 1000 rounds through each one. I guess I will see how they hold up for the long run.

I ended up building a CMMG from parts. Night and day difference. Spend a little bit extra and get the CMMG. |

Thing is great! The Bolt Hold Open Actuator worked very well with the BHO magazines. |

I was also thinking about getting a Chiappa arms .22 upper. After reading this thread I think I'll end up getting a CMMG upper.
Not to take over this thread but I do have a couple of questions: Is the CMMG dedicated upper reciever made just like a .223/5.56 upper reciever? If I wanted could I remove the barrel from the reciever and put in a .222/5.56 barrel and use it for a build? |

Well, I'm new here, but I'll give you my impressions.
I bought a Chiappa and a Plum crazy lower, thinking I'd get into a .22 AR for plinking, and because, frankly, I'm a pretty poor person, so I don't have big money to buy expensive guns. I figured I'd update it as I went along. I had to shave the plum crazy firing pin (too poor to buy the blowback hammer. I had horrible fail to feeds, and failure to ejects, BUT... I grabbed a barrel cleaning brush for an Ar15, stuck it in a drill, and just "polished" the feed ramp, and throat and chamber. Just polished the crap outta it. it now shoots completely flawlessly, and I just love it. Jeff That's the reason I'm here (that rifle). |
