| So I found this on gunbroker.com. I didn't see anything here, or on your web page though. Any info? |

Will those of us who already own a CMMG conversion kit be able to buy a barrelled upper without the .22 bolt?
I am getting ready to put together an upper which will be specifically for using with my CMMG kit. The problem is, I want to run it suppressed and I'm hesitant to use a 1/9 or 1/7 barrel with a can for fear of baffle strikes. I was also considering ordering a Spike's dedicated upper, but that means buying their kit, and quite honestly, I'd prefer to be able to keep and use my CMMG kit. If I'll be able to get a dedicated, 1/16 upper from CMMG and be able to use the kit I already own, I'll hold off on building my dedicated .22 rifle for a couple of months. |

You can't use a Spikes kit on Spikes upper. You need their 22 bolt without the chamber adapter. The both kits are for 5.56/223 chambers. Unless CMMG is going to use a 5.56/223 chamber on their 22 upper they kit should not work on their upper either. Unless I'm missing something. On the Spikes side of things you could get a 22bolt and a chamber adapter and be able to use the bolt on the 22 and the bolt with adapter on the 556/223. |
| Well, I guess I'll just use the 1/9 barreled upper I just bought off the EE for the time being, and when CMMG releases the next batch of dedicated uppers, I'll buy one and sell my conversion kit on the EE. I can always use the 1/9 upper for another project once I get the dedicated .22 upper. (You can never have too many AR's, right?) |
