How do these CMMG .22lr conversion stand up to the Ciener? I like the chrome looking one.
Do they take the ceiner and all of the other aftermarket magazines ? |
| I just got back from the range with my new CMMG kit. I bought a box of bulk 525 count Federal and it ran like a champ. Put atleast half of the box through it with not a single malfunction. It was getting a little dirty towards the end of the session. I put 5 rounds of .223 through it at the end to clear out the gas system. Overall, I am extremely happy with the unit. Can't wait for my son to come with me this weekend to enjoy it as much as I did today! |

I have a CMMG .22lr conversion kit and am experiencing problems with cartridge ejection. (Using Federal bulk .22lr 36gr copper plated hollow pt)
Anyone heard of a solution? I will take it up with CCMG Monday but just got this and was hoping to have a nice experience this weekend. Thanks in advance for any tips/tricks. Paul |

Went back to the range today for some more .22 fun. Not as flawless today. After around 200 rounds I start getting FTF and FTE's. I'm pretty sure it's because it gets soooo dirty with the .22 ammo. If I remove the bolt kit, rinse it good with gunscrubber and relube, then clean up the upper receiver a little, I'm good for another 200 rounds or so before it starts having failures again. I also put 2-3 .223 rounds through it between cleanings to keep the gas chamber clear and to get a little of the nasty fouling from the barrel. Still very happy with it. Can consistently hit golf balls from 25-50 yards with no change to my red dot sight. Only shoots about an inch lower than the regular ammo. Also, it seems to like the Federal Bulk, CCI Mini-Mags, Winchester Subsonic and Remington Vipers, even though they are not round nosed bullets. Went through approximately 600 rounds today.
Oh, and one more thing. Sometimes I seem to have 2-shot burst mode with the conversion kit. Happens about once every 3 mags or so.

| I've fired less than 200 rounds thru my daughters AR pistol with the CMMG conversion and I sometimes would get 2 or 3 round bursts...it probably happened about 5 times in those 200 or so rounds. I haven't had a chance to really break the conversion in so will try again when I get back to the States and it warms up back home. |
