    Well, actually, no, my CMMG didn't.

    Forget my first day out on the 27th when I didn't even bother to clean it first. And I was using Remington Goldens, which, as we know, is about the worst 22LR ammo on the planet.

    Fast forward to today. Before I took it out today I took the bolt and chamber assemblies off the rails and cleaned everything really well. I did not take the bolt apart.

    I lubed the contact areas on the rails and the bolt with a thin coating of Brian Enos Slide Glide and everything else got a very, very thin coat of gun oil. Did I say it was a thin coat?

    And I picked up a couple of bulk packs of Federal Load #750 at WalMart for $13.50each.

    Today was the true test. I put a whole bulk pack (550 rounds) thru it without so much as a hiccup - no failures to feed, fire or eject at all. And I didn't have to put any additional lube of any kind on the conversion bolt. The kit is pretty dirty and dry now, but the bolt continues to move as smooth as silk - love that Slide Glide. I first started using it on my M&P9FS a year or so ago.

    I was loading up my 4 BDM mags to about 25 each and basically doing mag dumps one right after the other, busting up clay targets I had set on the backstop berm of the range. The only rest the gun got was when I was loading the mags. A friend came by with his own BDM mags and ran about another 100 or so thru it, again with no failures of any kind.

    I am a happy camper and highly endorse the CMMG conversion kit.

    Very glad to hear it! I am still not seeing a weld line on my chamber adapter.

    Wow! That was really quick! It is good to know that they stand behind their products and that their turnaround is quick.

    I wonder what the deal with the weld line was? lindertw's kit had the weld line also, but several of us that just got our new CMMGs last week can't see a line. Anybody have any intel from CMMG on the issue?

    Who has these kits in stock? Is CMMG the best source for ordering them? Not getting much luck with emailing the various online retailers of CMMG products.

    Did you receive it yet? And, if you did, does it have the weld line like your old one did?

    I am about to pull the trigger on one of these rather than a Nordic Components AR22 setup.

    Anyone who has one having qualms yet?

    I may well wind up getting a Nordic in the future, but figure I can get the kit and four Black Dog magazines for what it would cost me to rig up the Nordic kit.
