What's a good place to pick one up? With the panic going the way it is, it won't be long until we are forced to switch to .22 for practice. I want to recreate my 11.5" BCM in .22lr, so that everything except the recoil feels the same.
I know nothing about .22lr platform ARs so I am hoping those that do can point me in the right direction. The only one I knew of is CMMG but they don't have an 11.5"
Thanks!

May not help you, but I’ve been thinking about getting a 223 rifle barrel hacked down to ~12” and using a conversion kit with a Sionics or KAC handguard with a dedicated can. It seems like a good idea in my head.

CMMG makes dedicated 22lr barrels, but not 11.5". 9" is the closest.

They also make complete dedicated 22lr uppers.

I have both a 22LR upper, and several conversion units. I would imagine for what you are contemplating a CMMG Bravo kit would be most effective:

I also use Better-Mag adapters so I can use S&W MP-22 magazines: https://www.redi-mag.com/product/bet...azine-adaptor/
On the .223/5.56 uppers I just shoot a few rounds of rifle ammo after use to make sure the gas port is clear.
You might also make this query on the AR Pistols & Pistol Caliber ARs sub forum.

Not in stock. But I have one and like it.

Clint Beyer sold me a 12.5” recently and since the 22 barrel protrudes so far into the upper receiver it’s almost the exact length of my 11.5” 5.56 barrel.

When going back and forth, how far off is the POA/POI at short distances? Assuming I would just use a conversion kit in my SBR. Say within 25y.Originally Posted by 26 Inf

I went the adapter route with my shorty AR. It wasn't looking before groups went from about 6 inches offhand at 25 yards to 6 feet. Cleaned the lead out of the adapter and groups shrank to normal. Then again jumped up to 6 feet. Bought a dedicated upper from PSA and get 3-4 inch groups offhand and haven't had any problems with leading or groups opening up. If you're gonna shoot any amount of 22 rimfire, get a dedicated upper or S&W MP-22

Do remember what 22 rounds you are using? I generally try to use copper clad bullets - Federal 325 round value packs are what I shoot the most.
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.

I have never noticed that much. Although the grand kids use them way more than me.
I do notice with all conversions that I can generally shoot without stoppages where others have problems - you need to be behind the rifle. (ETA - these will all FTF or FTE every once and a while.)
Also, none of mine lock back on an empty mag, if you want that I'd recommend the M&P.
