I did not get any pics of them, but I was VERY impressed with what I saw. So much so that I ordered a bunch of them.

As I stated in the other thread, there will be three options. In the future, I think they will make some 5.5" barrels/uppers for people that have SBR's.

Even Tac Sol's site (http://www.tacticalsol.com/store/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=4) doesn't have them listed yet.

I'm very interested in these. As I understand it they will work with any mags that are designed for the Ceiner kit, which include the Black Dog magazines.

No firm ETA and I think they will retail in the $600 range I believe.

Thanks Grant, hope you don't mind if I postpone my .22LR build I was about to get from you.

I'll wait for these to come out. I actually have an extra SBR'd lower and one of these would be awesome.

Will it trip an auto-sear and how does it deal with bolt bounce?

Looks nice, I may even have to sell my VZ-22 upper for one of those.

Any word on the TacSol .22 uppers?:D

I just can't get too worked up on these rimfire conversions after watching a guy I know go thru the effort of getting one running. After all the effort and expense, he'd have been better off just shooting rifle ammo.

A 10/22 with a Dot sight and some butler creek mags is a shit load cheaper and much more reliable too.

That's why I'm getting one from Grant! I know he'll pay attention to detail and make sure everything is working properly before sending it out the door. ;)

Sadly this is the conclusion I have drawn as well. I am going to use my would be upper money for an 870 or Benelli M1.

Ive wrestled with that concept.

I have come to the conclusion I want a .22lr rifle with the same feel and height over bore on the irons and optics as my ARs...

Innocent_bystander built a hell of a nice Spikes rifle. It's pretty sweet, but he's got a dedicated lower with the reduced power hammer spring. He pinned a real FSB to the Spikes barrel, and modifited all the mags to get them reliable.

spikes is working on their own 22 bolt/conversion. similar to a ciener, but its supposed to WORK.

How necessary is the reduced hammer spring?

Anyone have a range report on one of these?

I am trying to decide between a TACSOL and a Spikes. Any other choices that I should consider? I don't like the Nordic personally, and don't imagine it will be cheaper.

So, has anyone got a TacSol upper yet?

I'd be interested to see how it compares with the latest Spike's .22 upper.
