j.peace Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 I have a lower ready to go for my son. I am looking for a good deal on a dedicated 22 upper for my 15 ur. Old son. He used to enjoy rangeday with dad. Not too long ago he shot my. .243 bolt action with scope. He didn't have enough eye relief and wham scope got him. Now I'm thinking hes intimidated and I'm having a hard time getting him to go to the range with dad. So I'm thinking he needs to stick with a 22 for a while he needs a 22 anyways. He has a 20 gauge he occasionally shoots. I should have started with a 22 for him. I remember the thousands of 22 rounds I shot while growing up. I think that's a big part of why I am who I am today.

unforgiven Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Seems like 22lr is averaging .10 a round if you can find it.How that supply by you ?? I use a 10-22 that I've had for years it's fun to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j.peace Posted July 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Its been running about .08 a round around here. You can find it but you have to look. Seems like I'm always looking. I've got about 1000 RDS. Put back .I don't think you can ever have enough ammo these days the way things are going. My rule of thumb on ammo is I try not to shoot half of what I pick up. Ruger 10-22 good choice ive got one. But I'm very fond of ar style firearms. They feel more natural than about everything else I've had in my hands.

Tripledeuce Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 My wife and I have 2 10/22 nd a S&W AR15-22. going to get another 10/22 next month. Both in the safe are blue steel and wood, going to get a stainless and plastic stock. Was thinking about the new take down 10/22, or A Mag Research carbon fiber bbl one. The S&W hasent had a bobble, but its so light that I'm afraid I'll break it/LOL I'v got almost 10,000 rounds of various 22's on hand, and try not to go below 8,000. But a couple of times in the last few years I was down to my mim of 5 ,000 rounds. Wife and I try to get to the range twice a week, but are averaging about 1 and a half, right now. Shoot at least 150 rounds each when we go. in addition to whatever else we shoot that day. Respectfully Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Armory Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 I would get a CMMG 22lr adaptable BCG and a 1-14" or 1-16" twist barrel for a dedicated upper or get a 10-22 gun. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 My CMMG Sierra dedicated 22lr upper has been reliable and accurate. I'd have no problem recommending one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I built a custom dedicated .22lr using TACCOM3G parts. It's a great rifle. The only reason I didn't buy their complete rifle is because I wanted to use a matching MAG Tactical magnesium upper and the MI keymod rail.... There should be an entire thread in it here somewhere. I gave it to my wife as a valentine's gift. Honestly, I'd build the kid a regular .223 and then invest in a .22lr conversion. Most of the "dedicated" uppers use the same conversion kit, with some modifications. Also, invest is a few cans of "Gun Scrubber". I have a few thousand through mine now. That damned .22lr is a dirty little bastard. After a few hundred rounds, I start to get a few FTF's. Just squirt that SOB down, shake the shiit out of it, and get back to shooting.

Robocop1051 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Ps. After playing with my buddy's SW MP-22, I am very impressed. It doesn't feel like it, but it runs great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 I've got one of those drop in bolt kits it's cool but man is it picky on ammo won't shoot cheap poop but it'll eat fed semi auto and CCI all day long it's pretty fun tho when it feeds right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripledeuce Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 A s I shoot the S&W 15-22, I'm growing to like it more and more! No ftf;s of any kind, and it seems accurate, too! Respectfully Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.peace Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Thanx for the input guys at first I was leaning on a drop in. But now it'll be at least a dedicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
