I bought this less than a week ago, and I already have 1K of bulk 22 through it. If that doesn't explicitly state it.... This thing is fun.

Accuracy is pretty good. I have only shot it offhand, and softball sized groups are easy shooting slowly. I won't lie though, the vast majority of time behind this gun has been rapid fire. :). I am using it in a build I did with a DPMS lower, J&T Dist upper, and a chrome lined shaw barrel. Reliability with federal bulk pack is great. One solitary FTE. Fun fun fun. If you own an AR, you should have one.

I usually shoot for accuracy with rifles and try to keep my time behind the AR somewhat training based. I generally frown on the guys who are out blasting and hit the target 10% of the time. I blast with this thing and hit what I am shooting at. Kind of feel like a kid with a new toy at Christmas. 27 round mag dumps into steel popper targets? Yes please!
 
Its been a few years but I think the upper and barrel cost somewhere between 250 and 280. This is not a 22lr dedicated upper, I have been shooting 5.56 through it for years.
 
I just picked up a CMMG 22lr drop in for my AR too. Just waiting for the Brown Truck to deliver it.
 
can someone link this? I'm curious about this setup and may want to grab one myself.
 
Google Spikes tactical. They have a conversion and a dedicated upper. I have their didicated upper, and I agree, it is a blast to shoot! I just wish I had more time to go shooting.
 
is there any potential problems to be had with this? Alot of .22 is unjacketed lead iirc. Could that lead to some really nasty fouling of a few things like thegas tube or something?
 
I have switched back and forth with n problems. If there is anything in the gas tube, one shot of 223 blows it out. I have had zero problems.

I have been shooting federal bulk which is copper washed. I won't hesitate to try the lead wax lubed ammo.

Stay away from remington bulk ammo. It is junk.
