I'll be at South Philadelphia Archery & Gun today (03/25/06)
I'm taking off in a little bit and plan to spend most of the day there shooting .22 out of my M16. If you're in philly and shoot there feel free to say stop by and say hi.

Have fun. Every day is a good to shoot!
Sadly, I'm off to the Home & Garden Show today...
BTW, .22 on a M16? Full Auto?

He has a version for the AR15 and the M16 (the only difference being the M16 version has a lead weight to prevent bolt bounce and comes with a sear trip)
They run about $200 but they'll pay for themself within a few trips to the range. .22lr out of the AR15/M16 platform is really quite fun to shoot as there it little to no recoil. Even on full-auto I can dump a mag into something the size of a quarter with enough practice at 20-30 feet.
If you buy one though DO NOT buy it directly from that website, the guy who makes them (John Ciener) is notoriously terrible about customer service and in some cases just doesn't or forgets to ship orders out from what I've heard. If you can find a dealer or another websites that re-sells his kits even if they cost a little more.Last edited by danp; March 26th, 2006 at 12:01 AM.

Thanks for the info.
Hmmm, I've actually considered a .22 conversion for my Colt AR-15 but somewhere I read or heard that there is a issue shooting .22 in a .223 barrel and its best to get a complete .22 upper. Any thoughts on if this is true? I wish I could remember what the negative issue was. Seem to think it has something to do with the smaller .22 hitting the inside of the barrel.....?

Now there's a picture...riding the subway with an M-16...remembering my college days at Temple, that's not a bad idea at some stops.

Is there a necro thread award now that I am not aware of? This is what number 20 this week.
