If you want to try an AR in a new caliber you don’t currently own, all you need is a different upper receiver.ĬMMG Upper Group Kit, Resolute 300, Mk4, 5.56x45mmīARREL: 16.1 inches, 1:7 twist, medium taper, 4140CM, SBN When taken as a whole and compared to other rifles that have been in production far longer, it’s evident how incredibly popular the rifle is in the United States. Without question, the AR-15 has become America’s rifle, and manufacturers’ numbers bear this out. We experienced two failures to feed, but the blame lies squarely with the ammunition and not the rifle nor the conversion bolt.īecause the outward dimensions of the 22LR and 9mm magazines are the same as a 5.56 magazine, you can fit them into the same pouches without having to invest in another setup for new calibers. A few boxes of 22LR turned into half a brick, as it was a blast to shoot. Replace the 5.56 bolt carrier group with the conversion bolt, then reinsert it into the upper receiver with the original charging handle, close the receiver, and you’re ready to go plinking.Īs it turned out, our groups impacted about 4 inches lower than with the 5.56 barrel it was pretty consistent otherwise.

We were ready to be disappointed, as these units can be very hit or miss with regard to reliability and accuracy - an AR typically has a higher twist rate than a 22LR barrel, and there’s about 1¾ inches of freebore in the chamber before the bullet stabilizes.ĬMMG’s unit is completely made from stainless steel, which makes it easy to maintain and clean. These kits take a proprietary magazine and give you two calibers in one unit. Simply remove your 5.56 bolt and replace it with a drop-in dedicated 22LR bolt. If you’ve been shooting ARs for any length of time, you may be familiar with 22LR conversion kits for the AR platform. Shooters often make their choice based on the number and type of 9mm magazines they already have on hand. There’s no common standard - some take Glock extended magazines, others take Uzi or MP-5 magazines, and some take other pistol magazines.
