Right now I'm looking at Spike's and CMMG uppers.  Thoughts on those two?  Any other good ones out there?  I just want a cheap way to practice punching holes in 100yd paper targets (while retaining close to standard M4 accuracy @ 50 or 100yds) and .22LR seems like the way to go.

Thanks in advance.

I have a Spikes it is very reliable and accurate. I think it would be hard to beat.

If you type in FDAY you get 10% off right now until the 22nd My wife took hers out a couple days ago and only had 1 failure in an entire box of Federal 550. They make a Great/extremely reliable upper

if you ask me.

The M4 version, I believe was about $550. Eventhough, they raised the price a bit, it's still worth every penny for the price increase. Super excellent customer service, lifetime warranty, quality products, and they currently have a 10% coupon code. How could it be beat?

WOW those are expensive! Would you mind giving us some more info on them as to why they cost so much? They look really nice and it's interesting that they use .223 magazines with an

insert. How reliable/accurate has yours been? Do you have any pictures you can post of how the magazine works since they don't have any on their site? Thanks!

I just got a Spike's dedicated upper and I REALLY like it.  Quality, fit and finish are excellent.  I would highly reccommend them.

designed primarily for the highpower shooter.  I love mine.  I've had good results with SK.  Of course not as accurate as an Anchutz but worthwhile practice for highpower shooting.  They are built with dedicated Douglas barrels with a Bentz reamer. It'll fo .5 to .75 MOA with good ammo

How reliable is the conversion kit compared to the dedicated upper?
