How do I convert my AR-15 to .22LR for dirt cheap?

[Shooter101]

Believe it or not, The 223 caliber is actually a 224. It is the exact same at a 22 Caliber. It requires no major changes to you carbine with the exception of a bolt replacement. You can get a 22 cal conversion kit from CMMG for anywhere from 90.00 to 100.00. Step 1, All you do is pop the front pin out and shotgun the weapon. Step 2, pull the 223/5.56 bolt out of your weapon. Step 3. take the 22 cal conversion bolt and slide it into your upper receiver. Step 4, put your upper back on your lower and secure it with the rear pin.
Whe you buy this conversion kit it should come with one or two mags. They are the exact same as the m16 mag in the girth but are for the M4/AR15.

I would tell you to shop around before you buy. There are better deals out there than this link has.
Please write back or what ever if you have questions. I have one for my carbine and it is fun!

Palmetto still has to best deal going, in that you can get 3 Black Dog magazines and the CMMG kit for 169

If you save a little more, you could avoid a conversion and just get an M&P15-22.
It's double what a conversion would run you but its another rifle. They run great, are a dedicated .22LR and the bolt hold open functions.

does .22LR shoot well in a 1:7 twist barrel?

Mine shoots fine in a 1:7

Don't have a .22 conversion kit yet, but starting to consider one. I'm thinking, in a bug out situation, .22 would be handy for small game hunting and a second bolt is less to carry than a complete rifle.

Wonderful. And you just posted in a thread that is over 3.5 years old without adding anything of benefit.

Since we're necro-posting may as well add more relevant info:
Black Dog has a good going, buying from them directly - availability price and quality.
It's a bit harder these days to get .22 ammo though, and most of these conversion kits are somewhat fickle in what they eat, would be good to find out first.
(Black Dog prefers Federal and won't cycle much else reliably)

Agreed. If you're still around to read this.
