So ive been looking into the Chiappa designated 22 upper considering its pretty cheap to get into the 22 conversion... found it for 270 shipped. So my question is if its worth the money and its not a waste of time.., any repsonses are appreciated. also anybody with one feel free to post some pictures id love to check them out .

You can get a CMMG for $350. No plastic.

I had a Chiappa.  Sold it and built a dedicated upper using all CMMG parts.  Huge, huge, huge upgrade.

I have one and love it.

I also have a CMMG stainless .22lr conversion system with the BHOA and all the goodies, building a 2nd upper around it.


Since the Chiappa has a Front sight that's just held on by an allen screw (which is a bitch to get off), if you can get it unbolted, then slide it down the barrel near the end, slide the o-ring and front handgaurd triangle piece (sorry I'm really tired), and install rifle length handgaurds, and BAM instant disappator, and it's cheap and fun.

Like I said, I enjoy mine, a lot.  Easily worth the $$.  Yes it's cheap, and you get what you pay for.  I wasn't expecting perfection.  But now that I've got it broken in, it works really really well.

Thanks for the repsonses... i think i might pick one up and worst case if i have problems with the polymer, grab a scratch and dent upper for cheap and switch it over.

I have one.  Got it at a show for $250 with 2 30 round magazines.  I love it.  Have about 2 bricks thru it.  Very reliable and accurate.
