Hello all. If I purchase the evolution drop in conversion now for my AR, and later down the road I decide I want to go with a dedicated upper, can i still use the conversion bolt for that? Thanks for any help.

Yes you can. It would require a collar instead of the chamber adapter. You can order the upper minus the bolt but with the collar. Another great option from CMMG.

Thanks Shadowcop.  So I assume the chamber adapter comes off, and the collar goes in its place?

Yes sir. You need to be careful removing and replacing the adapter. Most failures occur when the bcg's are taken apart and rails bent. When that time comes, let me know and I'll walk you through it.

Thanks again, you've been a big help. Still not sure if I want to go with the drop in, or just wait and get a dedicated upper.

Both options are good ones. I have both. I shoot the dedicated upper a lot but some days want to shoot one of my other AR's for trigger and holding practice so I take the conversion kit for that work. It saves me a lot of money. Just look at the  price of ammo....a bit much money to go burning up just to do 50 yard or less plinking. Plus, if you change your mind later you can always use the bolt and rails on another dedicated  upper build. I always say, if something is good enough to have one, two might be even better (unless its a wife).

No truer words have ever been spoken

Your absolutely right about ammo prices, I shot 200 rounds of walmart bulk .223 last weekend, and for the price of that I could have shot over 2500 rounds of .22
