I have to say that the whole craze now a days of ".22lr trainers" for Ar15 and bolt guns is basically a marketing ploy. The only real training you will get is to use the actual firearm, set-up, and caliber you want to train with. I do have a Sig 522 .22lr but it ain't for training for the .223. I got it as I am sure most of us have: For ammo costs and fun, maybe a little light hunting/varmit clearing too./QUOTE]
I fully 100% disagree with you there Ed.
So long as its an actual conversion, like a 22lr AR conversion, to say there is no use to trigger time on your ACTUAL weapon <not a copy of some sort> is not beneficial, my experiances in competition and training lead me to believe the complete opposite.
Buying a gun that "Sorta kinda looks like your gun" I agree is useless.
The same trigger, sights, operation and the same GUN I disagree its very beneficial.
Slapping a 22lr conversion into a ar, putting the 22lr mags into your 5.56 mag carrier, and running a steel course a few dozen times, then doing it with the full power ammo, I can tell you from experiance, your score will benefit.
And you will find out what works, and what doesnt.
Which is... the whole point of training.
My caveat is, it has to be THE SAME GUN. not some look alike, or in this case, a totally diffferent gun with a stock on it.
The same gun. thats where this "Chassis" falls short.
