yeah 10-4.....John at Keystone Accuracy drilled & tapped his CMMG bolt on the left side and milled his UR to accomodate. But he's a gunsmith and can do what he wants. He's still in business but has been difficult to get to respond over the last couple years as he was going through a divorce. Anyway, I suspect any competent smith could do the same. I'll see if I can find a link to a video or photo that showed what he did. his is a LH upper but you get the idea. https://youtu.be/j4QEo_bLufc?si=9Q5g-Ltlf9AvY2yb |

1,000's and 1,000's of rounds through my 7.5 barrel S&W M&P. Perfect trainer for real AR15 556. Highly recommend 5 stars. S&W M&P 7.5 inch barrel. 25 Yards 10 inch plates |

Much like the EE here. You F up once, you run the risk of no one trusting you. I've been a member on that forum for years. Pretty good bunch of folks over there. |

I like them better than the rear charge, and I think they work better with scopes. The issue is a bolt with the handle/knob on the left side. A standard AR bolt is too hard to drill. I’ve tried.😊 Note: I have not yet tried to drill a 22lr bolt. So, I have no idea how hard they are. I like the idea of having one lower that one can use multiple uppers on. One upper being a 22lr for cheap practice. |

FPNI. I'm a big fan of CMMG and the versatility over others. I've put tens of thousands of ammo through two uppers I've assembled using CMMG SS conversion and dedicated CMMG barrels and they run very well. Any hiccups I blame on the "seconds" I buy from a big name LGS. Mags are Black Dog Machine. Franklin Binary triggers on both. I've got an "artisan" steel airsoft folding stock that's indiscernible from a Sig/JMAC on the SBR pictured below. Many options out there to choose from, or as ARFCOM always says; “Get both!” Attached File |
