This kit alone is over $200, doesn't come with a stock or foreend, so this doesn't add up, if you want an AR trainer, which is how this was touted above.
If you just want a sort-of-AR-like 10/22, you can just drop it in a Tapco stock. The point of this thing is apparently to give one the ability to add AR accessories. That's what I don't think adds up, especially if you have your AR already set up with a nice trigger and upgraded stock.
I'm not married to the 10/22, myself, as I think one would have to be, in order to pay for this. Like I said, there's nothing wrong with that; I just can't see that this thing is economical or as worthwhile as a .22LR upper as an AR trainer, even though the upper DOES run $475 and up.
Now as an expensive toy that that shoots .22LR, I can't argue with it, or anything else. There's no logic to that, and far be it from me to try to find any, especially given the growing number of varied and often not inexpensive .22 rimfire guns that seem to follow me home.
...I no longer even own a 10/22 or 10/22-based gun of any kind and I STILL seem to spend money on .22s... What're ya gonna do?
