Be CarefulI bought this in mid august of 2018 and it ran great up until my latest range trip. When firing I got a distinct bang bang bang POOF. I pulled my bolt out to see what was wrong and the chamber adapter had cracked down the middle. Now I have a Daniel Defense 16 inch M4 barrel in my AR that has never had any issues and ran fine after I swapped in my regular bolt to test function after, so I'd say it is safe to assume that it was not my barrel or chamber that caused the issue. Now I do run my rifles pretty hard and this bolt was no exemption and I was pretty disappointed to see this chamber adapter crack. Overall it is a great product that does work, just remember that it is an inserted adapter and you should be a bit more gentle with this product then a regular AR bolt. It's far from a bad product, it just needs a bit more strength in the walls of the chamber adapter.

Love at first plink!This works great! We have bought 2 of them. We even found a 50 round drum from Blackdog out of Idaho. Run it wet and make sure you clean it when you get home and you should have zero problems.

Great AR AccessoryA great accessory for your AR, easily converts it to 22lr.
Fun to shoot, I switch from 223 to 22lr in seconds and
shoot at 100yds with good accuracy, just allow for drop
of the 22lr.

Excellent Training Tool for New ShootersGot this to help teach my daughter how to shoot the AR15, The lower nose level and no recoil of the 22lr helped her to over come flinching when shooting the rifle. While still using the same controls and weight of the AR15 and not a standard 22lr rifle with different controls and weight Plus using the less expensive 22lr cartridge over the 223/5.56 ammo makes for more shooting time with the rifle.
The Conversion Kit works good with standard and high velocity ammo. We fired several brands of ammo in it. The only ammo that we had any trouble (FTF/FTE and miss fires) with was "White Box Bulk Ammo", to be expected! CMMG does recommend using copper plated ammo to help protect the gas system and barrel from the lead. And to fire a few 223/5.56 rounds after using the device to help clean the carbon out of the gas tube. Cleaning the bolt as simple as, wiping it off with some oil on a patch or rag and run a patch through the chamber adapter.
I would recommend to pick up some extra magazines for less reloading time at the range and more shooting.

Love itThe CMMG .22 LR is awesome. I've shot a few hundred through it and have had minor feed issues that were fixed by oiling the inside of the conversion kit. I've had no double fires and can fill the magazine to the brim without issue. It does shoot about three inches lower then .223 at 50 yards so you may have to have a scope adjustment.

Awesome productLet the mag hang naturally. If you rest it against the table it will jam every time.
Still five stars. I use this In my 5.56 AR-15.

So FunShot 800 rounds through this thing. Good for plinking. I'm going through bullets faster with this conversion kit, not sure if i will end up saving money XD. Don't expect accuracy like a .223.

Fun but not reliable.This little conversion is a fun way to shoot your AR15 but it does seem to jam a good bit after it gets a little dirty. I shot around 50-75 rounds before jamming but then i could barely make it through 10 rounds withough a fail to eject. in addition to not being very reliable, the accuracy isnt as good as your higher end 22 rilfes like the Ruger 1022...
Thank you for choosing Bass Pro Shops. It is, but you need the three piece kit offered by Fostech in order for the trigger to work with the kit.

Will the conversion kit work on an AR15 that ejects on the left side? Or just standard AR15 5.56 models?
Asked by: TAG17
Thank you for your question. Per the manufacturer, the CMMG ARC-22 .22 LR Conversion Kits, models 22BA62F & 22BA6E1/10235 are not compatible with firearms that eject on the left side. They suggest models 22BA68A, 22BA62C, or 22BA69E, which are designed for left hand firearms, currently Bass Pro Shops does not have these models available.

Will your sight zero be affected by this conversion?
Asked by: gtoxke
The zeros will be different. I use two sets of flip up sights zeroed for the different rounds.

Will this kit fit a norinco t-97?
Asked by: Erikinqc
Thank you for your question!
Per CMMG, these kits are designed for conventional AR-pattern rifles and therefore are not likely to be compatible with more "unconventional" designs, such as the Type 97; you may want to contact Norinco directly if you're interested in a .22 conversion kit for that particular rifle.
Thank you for choosing Bass Pro as your outdoor retailer!

Does barrel length or twist rate affect the use of 22LR in a 556 AR?
I don't want to mess up the barrel.

Does the 22lr really cycle BCG through each round?
I know many have already stated this works great, so indirectly my question has probably already been answered. But specifically, I wanted to know, will the 22lr actually have enough 'oomph' to cycle the round through automatically? Or does the operator cycle through manually? Any guidance on ammo quality, e.g. subsonic versus supersonic stingers?
Thanks all!
Asked by: Bluepaddle
Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, this will cycle .22 LR BCG (Bolt Carrier Group).
