what are the lugs on the bolt that are more like a 5.56 AR bolt on the kit on the far right? Don't see that one for sale. Also does CMMG have any plans to produce a smoke .22 magazine? And does anyone know of any online retailers that have the BHOA 22 evolution kit (full kit, mag. etc.) on sale? Only seen one so far and even though its listed for $185.50, I have not seen any good reviews about the place.  |

The locking lug you are seeing is not available yet. Testing is still being done.
The full kits are so new, I doubt anyone has them on sale. I saw the ad for Cals Sporting Armory. Never heard of them but I only found a couple complaints. That is a great price if the kits are legit. |

thanks, I hate ordering something knowing a newer version is in the works. since I have never had a 22 kit I know nothing about them, will the locking lug be a situation where you just buy the bolt I wonder to add it? also does the forward assist option add anything that useful? |

The BHOA is an add on. You can get it any time. It just drops in.
The forward assist has the same usefulness it does in a 5.56 AR. To some it's important. For the .22, in the occasion the bolt doesn't completely seat because of dirt, the forward assist can seat the bolt. If mine is to that point, I just pull it out and clean it. The CMMG is a drop in conversion. It works very well. Upgrades just seem to keep coming. The locking lug will be a nice addition mainly because when the upper is opened up, the conversion can't fall out. Function wise, as I stated, both mine have been nearly flawless through 5 different AR's. The most recent kits have a couple of small changes that help insure the reliability of the BHOA. There is a post that shows how someone with an older bolt can make the angles. I suggest you read through some of the posted threads. Lots of information there. Spec Ops13 and I have been running a lot of R & D on these. In my opinion, it's the best kit out there for reliability, performance, and new ideas. Dave |
