Get one that takes 30 rd mags!  Right now, it looks doubtful if DPMS will make them.

DPMS certainly doesn't yet, and it's looking like they don't think it's profitable to do.  Seeing as how they have the ejector built into the mag, adapting another .22 mag wouldn't be trivial.  I don't know about the CZ, but I heard a rumor that they could use Ceiner mags with some work.

there is a link on ARFCOM detailing the modification of a ciener mag for the V22.
It seems the feed lip clearance on the ciener is .120. The lips need to be milled/dremeled  on each side to make the  measurement .170.
I just got a V22  a few weeks ago and have put 200 rounds down range and am very very happy.

It is accurate and has to stop running.

I've been able to put 10 rnds (all touching) into a area that you could cover with a nickle at 50 yards.  Can't do it consistently but I believe its' me and not the rifle.

This is the first group I fired with my Bushmaster Carbon 22LR upper, the first trip to the range before zeroing it.  I was using CCI std velocity and open sights at a 50' pistol range.  The Bushmaster is'nt the fanciest nor the most expensive but it's works pretty damn good.
