| I have built an 11.5 commando kit with the 5.5 flash suppressor on an ASA lower (yeah, I know but I got it way back around 2000 when they were milled by another company) without the chrome lined barrel but with a bushmaster stock and hbuffer. I was going to use the 11.5 barrel to make it a good 22lr shooter for the indoor range and keep my ammo costs down. Does anyone have any experience with the Ciener 22 kit now that they are selling 30rdn mags again? I know their Glock kit is considered inferior to the Advantage Arms kit but Ciener is the only company selling 30rnd mags for the AR15. Will the hbuffer be ok or should I use my extra one that is standard weight? |

I've had excellent luck with the Ciener AR15/M16 kits. The mini-14/AC556 has had some problems. I know about 8 people with the Ciener kits in M16's and we love them! I have about 10,000 rounds through mine and the part that looks like the .223 shell split. I wrote to Ciener and got the part, and I'm back on the road! Dave

| Thanks! I thought my thread was going to die. I like the A2 look and all the 22lr uppers I have seen are flat top, no forward assist, SS bullbarrels except for the DPMS M4 and they don't offer 30 rnd mags. I thought the 11.5 commando would be perfect for a dedicated .22 upper with the ciener kit for use at a 50 yard indoor range. If need be I could also go back to .223. Good to hear it performs well. |
30 rd Ciener mags are available again at $50 each which is a bargain compared to the 10rd mags that go for $25 each. A Kuehl dedicated upper is pricey but it is one of the most reliable .22LR conversions out there using Ceiner's conversion. |
