I know of the SW MP-15, SIG 522, Ruger 522 and the GSG-5 even though its a mp5 platform
are there any others???
are there any others???
There's probably no reason to get worked up about the vendor of a .22LR upper, since it's a standard AR upper with a special barrel and bolt assembly, and no gas tube. Everything else is standard
The nice thing about the Colt and S&W is that they cost less that what some companies sell .22 AR uppers for.
Spikes Tactical dedicated 22lr upper with Black Dog Mags is the way to go.
Exactly why I am in the market for the S&W, why buy an upper when you can have a complete gun for less money.
I don't get why you would train with a 22 AR or 22 upper. Yes, it is more economical but I don't think that you would be doing a good job of training without recoil and attempting quick follow up shots with the actual recoil that would be experienced. I own 22s but not for training, I also never jumped on the 1911 22 conversion bandwagon either for the same reason. But you know the saying "different strokes for different folks".the training value of a gun that feels the same as the "real" one, makes an upper much more economical
ArmedBear said:Because a good trigger for an AR runs about $200. Aftermarket stocks go for more than that. Leveraging these things, along with the training value of a gun that feels the same as the "real" one, makes an upper much more economical...
What makes the S&W an overpriced POS? And I already told you why I want the "overpriced POS", because I would rather have two rifles than two halves which imitate each other poorly, IMO.ArmedBear said:...unless what you really want is just an overpriced POS .22 that looks like an AR so you can impress your friends.
