As far as I know, the only difference between the 'BCG' on the dedicated and the one on the conversion is the removal of the chamber adapter on the dedicated bolt.

Yes, the difference between the dedicated unit and the adapter unit is the chamber adapter. We used a variety of ammo in the adapter. Most of it copper plated. Since the suppressor was added to the dedicated upper, we've been shooting Gemtec subsonic through it.

Thanks. I had to look that up.

Is this close enough?

Based on the last tard panic, it was WAY easier to shoot .223/5.56 than .22LR.

22 LR is the toilet paper of gun tards. I don't even mess with rimfire in normal/rational conditions anymore.

It all depends though. It was way easier financially to stock up on 20,000 rounds of 22lr before this panic than it was 5.56. If a person did this. 22lr is the cheap way to go and also saves your 5.56 reserves.

It's not just cost. One of the awesome things about moving from NJ to NC is that I can shoot in my back yard. 5.56 out of an 11.5" SBR is... well... loud. I was shooting it on Sunday and my wife asked me to stop lol. I figure it will be quieter to shoot .22LR. At least until my cans get out of jail.

Also, see below.

Something I did [not 20,000 tho] despite not even having a .22 I knew this day would come.

FWIW I bought one of those cheap 16" 22 uppers that were on sale a couple of Black Fridays ago.

Had the barrel chopped and threaded then put it on a braced pistol lower to setup as a dedicated 22 gun.

Runs great as long as you use decent mags.

I'm only like $300 or so into the whole thing, minus sights.

Great for practice. Cheap to shoot.
