One of the Best Purchases I Ever Made!

Due to the much talked of ammunition shortages, as well as the increase in price, I am looking at different practice options!

I recently purchased a CMMG 22lr conversion for the AR-15 rifle from Brownell's. This kit comes with the 22lr bolt assembly and a Black Dog Machine 22lr magazine.

All that is needed is to push out the rear detent pin of the AR-15, slide out the 5.56 bolt, and replace it with the CMMG bolt assembly. You then replace the rear pin and the conversion is complete.

The BDM magazine is stated to hold 26 rounds, though I generally load around 20 just because of my impatience! Insert the magazine and pull the standard charging handle back and release, and you are locked and loaded

I have now run around 500 to 600 rounds through the conversion. It has functioned flawlessly with both Federal copper plated and Winchester copper plated ammo. It is also a tremendous amount of fun!

There is something very liberating about firing rounds that cost 5 cents rather than 50 cents out of my AR. It is just plain intoxicating! I have done a large amount of plinking in the front yard, but have also used the conversion to weed out some over-abundant rabbit population. The conversion works great for both.

As either pure luck or by plan, I don't know which, the scope on my Varmint AR, hits to point of aim at 50 yards with the conversion. I have it sighted in at 200 yards for the 5.56 caliber.

If you have a desire to get some cheap trigger time with your black rifle, or just want to increase the fun factor, I highly suggest you check out the CMMG 22lr conversion.
