Harveyshot Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 Hello. I'm in central OK and I came to this forum from the 308AR forum. I'm not a big gun person but enjoy doing 80% builds. I've built an AR-15 and an LR-308. I'm thinking my next one will be an 80% AR-15 lower with a dedicated .22 upper. I originally thought about the CMMG conversion but since my AR-15 has a gas piston system, that's out. I have bought .22 ammo for years but I don't have any gun that shoots them. I've always thought about a Ruger 10-22 but never pulled the trigger on that. I've pretty much decided on the dedicated upper but was wondering what, if any, differences there are in the AR-15 lower parts kit to use the dedicated upper. Thank you.

Harveyshot Posted May 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 Thanks. I did get the dedicated .22 upper from Bear Creek Arsenal and put it on my burnt bronze 80% lower. It works great but it’s best to use coated bullets since some of the uncoated ones had a little trouble loading. Also, bolt locks back after last round but will close when mag is dropped so watch your fingers. I’d upload a pic but the attachment option below says ‘Loading….’ and won’t respond.
