I have been wanting a .22 conversion for a while. I wanted something fun to shoot, different, cheap, and something to get the kids introduced into AR's. I found the CMMG kit at the local gun shop for $200 so I took the plunge. Now I know I probably could have gotten it cheaper online, but it was there.
I went ahead and bought some Fed bulk to go along with the kit.
Went to the range and confirmed my zero using my 55 grain.
Installed my new .22 kit.
Straight forward. pull out your 5.56/.223 bolt(
edit:BCG) and replace it with the CMMG unit. I went ahead and gave the new kit a heavy coat of CLP then started shooting.
Started out shooting at a typical M4 U.S. Army Zero Target. at 25 yds.
Groups were good. The largest about 1". then moved it to a man sized pistol target at 100 yds. every rd landed within the target with the EOTech dot on the head. I didnt bother to measure the group at 100 yds, but they hit.
I ended up shooting about 300 rds today and I didnt have a single problem. No FTF, No FTE. nothing.
I was really impressed. Much Much better than my 10/22.
So all in all I have to say I love it. kudos to CMMG. quality kit. Quality company.
Now if it only came with stickers
