Are they any count? If so what is best? Do they wear your barrel out?

I like my Ciener conversion system. It works great with a lot of ammo brands and sorts and its a cheap way to shoot with the rifle. The only problems I have with Swartclip ammo. It seems they used too much "hard" grease to lubricate the bullets. The bolt can´t get the whole cartridge into the chamber sometimes. But with  other ammo I´ve never had any problems even after 300-400 rounds without cleaning.

Ciener's work very well.  I have tried the kit in several uppers with several brands of ammo.  No problems.

I agree. Ceiner is great
Mine works good with the usuall ammo types, Rem golden,minimags,and the like.It really shines with standard vel CCI and wolf MT. The wolf gives me 3/4" ten shot groups @ 50 yd with a good scope off the bench. Me thinks I could do better with a beter trigger .
The 10 rd mags work about perfect and come apart easy for cleaning .
My dpms upper (heavy barrel flattop) is slightly more accurate but real heavy
I like throwing the Ceiner in whatever upper I feel like shooting (with whatever sighting system) and knowing it will function near perfect
Wish I can lay my hands on a reasonable 30RD mag

Yeah, the 30 rounders are great.  I got my kit from CMMG a year or two ago and they sold me the magazine for about $60.  Get the Ceiner and keep an eye out for a good deal on 30 rounders, I think they are kind of rare though.

I was fed up with searching for a 30rd mag for a "good" price , so I went on and ordered it at a friend of mine ( he´s a gundealer) from waffenschumacher.com . They want 79 Euro for it and I got it for retail price 52 Euro ( 64$) . Expensive   - okay but what can you do. BTW the 30rd mag works perfect.

Just sold mine (with over a dozen mags!) but it was a VERY tough decision.  The Ciener is good, but for the best performance, the Kuehl upper is the best.  Its a modified Ciener kit with a dedicated .22 barrel.

It is a fun plinker and at last I got my wife into shooting. Of course, she hasn't try with 5.56 ammo but hey, it is a start.
The only problem was in the ammo (hard primmer) but the system works great. Like I said, it is a fun plinker.

yeah Cieners are awesome.

Had three go thru my hands and all were 100% reliable. No fine tunning,oiling, polishing,etc.

Keep on a lookout on EE i got like new Ciener .22 kit w/ 30 round mag for $130 shipped two or so months back.....

right now I'm doing torture testing on it to see how long it can go without oiling or cleaning. Went it bone dry and flawless after 500 rounds as of yet.

I agree, the dedicated upper from Kuehl Precision Firearms is the way to go.  To me, it's a must-have.  Cheap, fun, and easy to suppress.

DPMS-the "deticated" .22LR upper....oh yeah, use the colt mags.  (best I've ever used...the Dpms and the mags)
