My old thread was archived. This thread
I changed a bunch of parts on the .22lr build. My son uses it most of the time so i wanted a short length of pull. Went with a LWRC Ultra Compact stock for that reason. Using some cheap MFT sights in case the scope ever breaks/falls off. So far it's been a great shooter.

Nice build!
What are the specs on it? Bolt, Barrel, Etc. Hows the accuracy? I'm planning a build now and it looks like I'm going to go with a CMMG bolt, and taccom steel barrel, likely a 16" that I may get cut down to a 10.5. Build will be a clone of my carbine for practic, fun plinker, and varmint gun. |

Build will be a clone of my carbine for practic, fun plinker, and varmint gun. Like any other .22lr the accuracy depends on the ammo used. With the drop in conversion in a regular 5.56 (1/9 twist) barrel I has getting roughly palm sized groups at 30yrds. With the dedicated set up it's 1-2" groups. My kid loves this thing and it like it a lot too. It's "fun" to shoot. CMMG bolt, Spikes collar, Spikes .22lr barrel. Keep in mind that .22lr AR barrels are roughly 1" shorter than a regular barrel once installed in a upper. The chamber sits further in. So my 16" set up appears to be closer to a 15" set up. I am debating sending it out to Adco and having it chopped/pinned/welded to 16" over all length. |

Are you worried about the legal barrel length, or are you just trying to get it to match other barrels that you use? I have no doubt that you know this, but the legal barrel length should be fine. The are measured down the bore, not externally. http://thegunwiki.com/Gunwiki/ProcMeasureBarrelLength |

I have a couple of SBRs and don't want to deal with doing another stamp right now. i will probably leave it as is and just pick up a .22lr suppressor. |
