What are my options in .22LR dedicated uppers. Want to buy another .22LR dedicated upper and are researching options.
I already have an CMMG 22LR upper that I recently bought. http://www.cmmginc.com/product_p/22b7ce6.htm I have only shot 25-30 rounds through it, but my 14 year old son has put several hundred rounds down range. Have a Aimpoint Micro T-1 2 MOA mounted and so far he loves it. Have 20 Black Dog X-Form Magazines which work well http://blackdogmachinellc.net/ So far I have found the following: CMMG http://www.cmmginc.com/category_s/1553.htm Tactical Solutions http://www.tacticalsol.com/tshome/ar22-22lr-conversion DPMS http://www.dpmsinc.com/22-Receiver-Kits_c_312.html Spikes Tactical http://www.spikestactical.com/new/z/uppers-22lr-uppers-c-147_218.html Olympic Arms http://www.olyarms.com/images/stories/Catalog/2013-Retail-Catalog.pdf Chiappa http://www.chiappafirearms.com/product/771 http://www.chiappafirearms.com/product/2600 http://www.chiappafirearms.com/product/2627 LAR Grizzly http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/LAR_Grizzly_22LR_Terminator_Side_Charge_Upper_Reci_p/lar-22lr-terminator.htm Jard J22 Upper, side charging handle http://www.jardinc.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=53&Itemid=64 Am completely satisfied with the CMMG, but find the DPMS bull barrel appealing. http://www.dpmsinc.com/22-Long-Rifle-CM-Bull-Barrel-Assy_p_136.html Are the Spikes worth the extra money? As of 3/24/13 others have added: Compass Lake Engineeering http://www.compasslake.com/22uppers.htm Core 15 Rifle Systems http://www.core15rifles.com/core15-complete-uppers/22-long-rifle-uppers/ Model "1" Sales http://www.model1sales.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=310 Nordic Components http://shop.nordiccomp.com/ TACCOM LLC http://www.taccom3g.com/AR15_22LR_COMPONENTS.html Are there others I am missing? Open to suggestions. |

I recently bought a Spikes 5 1/2 in upper. I have under 50 rounds through it so far. Why so low of a round count? I can't get it to run.
I find now that it can be ammo specific and all I have is Remington and CCIs. Plus I emailed Spikes almost two weeks ago with no reply. I will call them when I get some Federal, which it's suppose to run with that. If I has known that, I would have just built it myself like I was going to do. I am not digging on Spikes, I'm sure they will fix it if I cannot get it to run. |

Kacee,
I laughed when I saw your group with Stingers. I have the DPMS .22 Bull Barrell too. My barrell shoots stingers like each shot is a flyer--at 50 feet I am doing good to get a 1 inch group. Wolf Montana is better but anything cheap shoots best iin my DPMS Upper. With bulk Federal, Federal match, or the CCI AR .22 I get ragged holes at 50 feet. I just tried 7 different types of .22 ammo at an indoor range the other day and Stingers were the worst for me. Good shooting! |
My DPMS Bull Barrel has been flawless in operation.
My brothers S&W 15-22 has had two OOBD (Out of Battery Discharges). The first one broke the extractor. S&W made repairs. The 2nd just scared the crap out of him. 
Never a problem with either the CMMG Sierra, or the CMMG kit that I owned previously. Jack...

Quoted: Which uppers are the most reliable? My very best have been my old CZ V-22 (hard to find any more) and my Spike's dedicated uppers (my favorites, hands down). Of what's available now, everything I've tried has been hit and miss but the best has been my son's CMMG. |
