    I am planning on just getting the S&W .22LR AR since it's roughly the same price as a dedicated upper. I won't have to be swappng out lowers etc. and the design looks to be quite unique and miles ahead of the Colt stamped .22LR AR made by Umerex or Walther? Anyway, it's not made by colt and the S&W is actually made by them.. It just makes more sense to purchase the whole gun (S&W) for the price of a Spikes dedicated upper, even though they make a good product. I will probably do a build on one of their lowers anyway.. That's my opinion for what it's worth.. Rock..

    That is a very valid point, I've tossed it around for days now but keep going back to the principle that when I shoot .22lr I still want to have the same controls and feel of my "go to" long arm. The word's of my old football coach come to mind, "practice like you play boys".

    In the end we all have to go with what works best for us.

So I started looking at the different conversion kits that are available and concluded that the best option for me would be to get a dedicated .22lr upper.

    For those in the know I would like your input on the various rimfire uppers available. So far I have seen the ones available from CMMG and Model “1” Sales and I'm leaning towards the Model "1" as it is about $100 less than the CMMG.
    If you're looking to save money why not just get the conversion kit?

    I looked into them as well and concluded that I didn't want to foul my Colt's gas system with the dirty burning .22lr bulk ammo and shoot them down my 1/7 pipe. I want the 1/16 for the .22lr.

    the cmmg and the spikes kit are solid kits with some upgrades to the ceiner design. i like the ability to shoot 556 through my upper also so a kit is what i would go with

    I would go with a dedicated upper that I could use it on my work rifle lower. I plan on picking one up soon, but haven't decided on which one yet. It will either be the Spikes or TacSol. Heck, It will be for my sons to shoot also, so I might even just pick up another lower to put it on, so I can get them a 5.56 upper when they are ready.
