Robocop1051 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Taccom3G... no one else puts work into the .22lr like they did. I have a Taccom3G dedicated upper (I built it) And I have a Colt .22lr conversion. The Colt is flawless, but requires Colt mags. They're just 10 round inserts that you stuff in a 20rnd mag body. Spikes, CMMG, Taccom3G, Arma lite and a few others are all just Ciener designs. despite what they say on the box, they're still Ciener. There was a company before Ciener, called Atchkinson (or somethinget similar) but Ciener bought them out and improved their design. The major bonus about the Ciener design is the ability to use Black Dog Machine magazines. S&W's MP-22 is a great machine with an awesome magazine... but completely proprietary and doesn't come as a conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I should mention that the Taccom3G is also a Ciener design... they just do it better. Most others are just rebranded CMMG manufactured parts... hence the reason why the Armalite version is no longer available. They got tired of fielding complaints for piece of shiit work.

shepp Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I've got one from a company called tactical industries, I bought it right as egay enforced their hi cap mag ban. Being it came with a 20 or 25 round mag eBay ended the sale but never refunded my money. I was lucky enough to sort thru my browser history and found the company and contacting them. They mailed me what I had bought and was very great full. Mine is picky on ammo as a lot are, I can only shoot good ammo thru mine cci and I've found federal semi auto also works, the cheap Remington/whinchester stuff won't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Here's my dedicated build... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironmonster Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I dont know anything about them but I know Rainer Arms offers .22LR dedicated parts branded by them. Not sure who builds these but Mega builds there Rainer branded uppers and lowers http://www.rainierarms.com/rainier-arms-ruc-22-lr-upper-black?___SID=U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) I've got a Ciener-design unit. Never gave me issues. It's the older phosphated design, before they ever offered the stainless thing. Once broken in (and that was a requirement for the phosphated ones), it runs flawlessly, if you run the right-powered .22LR ammo in it. Don't run any subsonic, low powered ammo - run some 40gr 1100-fps stuff, or above in velocity. Should run like a champ. EDIT - It's a dedicated .22 AR now. I quit taking the adapter out, and only use it for .22 now. Edited July 14, 2015 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrraley Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 I know... here he goes again... another friggin ray of sunshine. :blink: Are you looking for a dedicated upper? OR, Are you just looking for a conversion kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 The biggest trick to the .22lr conversion is cleaning and lubing while shooting. About every 100 to 200 rounds, I pull the BCG out and give it a good hose down with something like "Gun Scrubber". I like the clean/lube foaming spray. I just shake it off, reinsert, and continue shooting. .22lr ammo is some DIRTY shiit. It doesn't take long to gum up the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrraley Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Something else to keep in mind also is that after shooting .22 through your barrel, shoot about 5 to 10 regular rounds through it when you are done. If not you will get a build up of lead and turn it into a dedicated .22 upper. This was the result of a guy that shot at least 2 bricks through his rifle. Along with having to ream out the gas port and replace the gas tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.308LiteHunter Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 You might be talking me into a dedicated upper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 You might be talking me into a dedicated upper...If you do go with a dedicated upper try and get a 1-12" twist barrel or a 1-14" twist barrel. You will be shooting lite projo's about 35 or 40 grains. Just Sayin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.308LiteHunter Posted August 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Shoot, for the price of an upper I might as well buy a S&W 15-22... This is going from a conversion kit to a new gun :) Edited August 9, 2015 by .308LiteHunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 No one likes a quitter. You can't modify the M&P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Battle Arms has a safety for the M&P. I'm just sayin'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
