I think you failed to notice who I was replying to. I bought one, so why would I bash you for buying one? gunny was upset I didn't spend the time to complain to the company and play the shipping back and forth game. I paid $159 for the conversion and 2 mags in 2011. Hardly worth the effort to gain a few percent reliability. Go ahead and buy one, I think they are all stainless now, and shockingly accurate for the length of freebore.My question was about reliability. I know its a cheapish device but I highly disagree with your 1911 comparison. I wanted only one AR so I paid the price and went with LMT. I'm not looking to get too far into the AR game. No dedicated 22lr upper. Buy once cry once type of thing. A better comparison would be buying only one 1911 and choosing Les Baer or above then wondering about a 22lr conversion kit.
Never said I was upset. Just find it funny that people don’t use a warranty. And calling a company about warranty work is not complaining. CMMG has a very good rep. and stand behind their products.I think you failed to notice who I was replying to.

Why do I feel like these things are going to multiply. I'm a walnut and blued steel man.
Just using the standard charging handle.For those who have bought this,did you buy the "no jam" charging handle or did you use your cuurent handle with success.
Yes, the Blackdog mags will work just fine with the CMMG conversation. I have some gray ones that I need to paint black.If it uses the Blackdog mags, I have bunch of those leftover from the SIG 522 I used to own. They're pretty easy to load.
I always wondered if a buffer would give the bolt just a little extra bounce at the back to help chambering those few stubborn rounds. .
I was speaking of a buffer for the 22lr bolt, not the buffer for the 223 bolt. They also make a spacer to add to the 223 buffer spring to add pressure to the 22lr frame to keep it tight in the chamber.NO, the bolt receiver frame on the CMMG conversion rest against the lower receiver above the buffer thread hole. You do not need a buffer, buffer spring or even a buffer tube for it to work.

This the Black Dog mag's work the CMMG magazines not so good use them for malfunction drillsBlack Dogs are my favorite mags to use with my CMMG as their 20rd mags are pretty close to my 20rd AR mags.
