22LR Options?

What's the best way to go? Dedicated 22LR AR-style from Sig or Colt? 22LR upper to mate with regular lower? or 22LR bolt conversion kit (CMMG, Spikes)?

Would like to get something like this for my son as a first rfile, or would I be best served with a 10/22 and just get the bolt conversion kit if I ever feel like shooting an AR 22LR?

you can get a S&W M&P15-22 that is dedicated, railed, and barrel twisted (1:12)for .22LR its only $400-450 close to the cost of a conversion. 1:7 or 1:9 doesnt seem the best to shoot 22LR from what I've heard. I guess it depends how accurate you want to be

Get him a 10/22 to start, they're just the best out there and for $180+/- what's not to like?

Once he gets the handle on that, just let him shoot the AR with 223!

How old is your son? A 10-22 is a good choise to have. I started all my kids with a single shot .22 because it gave me better control over what they where doing when they where learning. After that they moved on to other things but carried on the basics of gun safety and handling.

Hey Joey, are they reliable?

Sure would save $$ on ammo for practice.

I would love to own a dedicated upper someday but in the meantime, my CMMG conversion kit has been fantastic.

I don't know yet...meant to take it to the range with me today but left it at home

However a guy I know runs one as a dedicated AR and it has very few failures. I put 2-3 mags through it without a single hiccup...it was smooth. Sure beats a 10/22 and it's god awful trigger.
