I already have the following:
Anvil Arms upper
Anvil Arms lower with kit
Ceiner Kit

Looking to build a decent 22lr shooter with the expectation that I can match the groups (+/- 2-3" @ 100 yards with federal bulk) that I have enjoyed with my 20 yr old marlin 60 (that is totally shot out).

Please help me maximize what I have and compromise cost.  What parts should I pick up?  Or sell the Ceiner and buy a Spikes?

TIA

You could try Kurts Kustom Firearms ( http://www.kurtskustomfirearms.citymax.com/catalog/item/29585/1131.htm ).  He makes a dedicated .22LR upper that uses an unmodified Ciener Kit.  If you want to build it yourself you can just buy the barrel and assemble your own upper.

I have two KKF dedicated .22's, two of my friends each have one, and my brother in law just ordered one of his barrels for his own dedicated .22 upper.  I would recomend him.

Hope this helps.

Dedicated barrel ought do to way better than 2-3" at 100yd.

That would only be true if the dedicated barrel has a proper .22LR chamber.  

Since the KKF barrels mentioned above, utilize a 5.56 chamber and unmodified Ciener chamber adaptor, its not going to shoot anywhere close to MOA due to the unrifled portion of the barrel.  As far as I can see, the KKF only offers an improved twist rate, and little other "dedicated" benefit.

Just for arguments sake, what would happen if the chamber adapter had a bit of rifling
that matched the barrel it was in?

At 40 yards with both of my KKF barrels I can hit empty .308 brass cases consistently.  I find my KKF's to be as accurate as my DPMS dedicated .22 upper which does not use a chamber adaptor.  

As for shooting at MOA: I don't know.  I only shoot at paper to sight in.  I do know that my KKF's, as well as my friends KKF's will outshoot any .223 AR with a Ciener Kit.  I can also say that they shoot as well as Ruger 10/22's, Marlin's, Remingtons, etc.

Hope this helps.
