    I'll poke around a bit, but seems crazy that they still sell these things.
    Are people gonna SBR their Glocks?
    I suspect people will be buying instant felon kits without even realizing it.

    I considered buying one of these from a forum member, but after shooting it, I found it very difficult to shoot, so it was a "pass" for me.

    I think their rail adapters/keys and charging handles are their primary sellers. I have their rail adapter for my Shield Plus and it fits so well it looks like it came with the gun.

    Yeah, there are a few items that could be useful to someone - and that's a good discount.
    Free shipping is usually the hook that wins me over, but I'm not seeing anything I need at the moment.

    That's a great deal.

    You're getting a nice handguard with MANY mounting options for accessories, plus it's a midlength gas system vs carbine, plus you get a mag with it.
    All for less than a lot of basic M4 style carbines that come with no mag, and a harsher carbine gas system, and a shitty, plastic handguard.

    Handled one at a show before the FATF dropped the brace rule. Its interesting to say the least. With the accessories (rail mount, optic mount, charging handle, etc) its not a bad idea. Basically a micro microroni, stripped down to bare minimum.

    As for shooting one? Hard pass. Braced AR9 does everything and more that this does, and looks proper

He bought 100 rounds and filled 2 50 round magsmags, and had 2 failures per mag. All the fn ammo he's fed has run without issue.

    450 rounds from PSA after all is said and done is $264

    450 rounds from BA after all is said and done is $239

    So about $25 less

    Hopefully your friend had a bad batch. I*ve shot a lot of Fiocchi in other calibers without a problem. Can*t say for 5.7 yet.

    I bought two boxes of the Fiocchi 5.7 bulk packs. All ran fine in my Ruger 57 and PS90. Just bought two more boxes. It's cheaper and a little hotter than AE5728. Makes for decent plinking ammo. As far as Fiocchi having a poor reputation, other than PSA, ALL non-boutique (i.e. EA, Vanguard, etc.) 5.7x28mm is made by Fiocchi. PSA is the only other manufacturer that produces 5.7x28mm in bulk.

    That said, AU has some bad press, so be advised.

    I waited and waited, and waited, but I could no longer ignore what a freaking STEAL this is.
    I placed an order on Thursday, May 25th. I received NO email confirmation after placing the order.
    OK, I did read that they manually enter these, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, and I had to consider that it was leading into Memorial day weekend, so...

    Well, I did get an email with a "shipped" notice today (29th - Memorial day) and a USPS tracking number.
    Obviously it hasn't shipped yet, but at least I did get this far. Will update when they arrive. (or not)

    How is the accuracy with those conversion kits? I've read on the webz that it's pretty bad, but I know no one personally who has one.

    I've also heard fouling is pretty bad?

    I dunno. I hear it's not as good as a dedicated 22LR barreled upper. (that's what I have)

    The "conversion" in that product title is confusing to those not familiar with these things.
    Those mags have absolutely ZERO to do with "conversions" aside from being mags that work with them - and regular 22LR uppers.
    I would bet that they sell far fewer due to their confusing description.

    And yeah - any 22 is dirty. I started with a 22 upper and swapped it back and forth on my 5.56 lower, but shooting 22 made my trigger group FILTHY, so I just built another lower to have a complete 22 AR15 to keep the filth to that one gun.

    Here's a 22LR CONVERSION bolt carrier group
    Note the 5.56-looking "case" at the nose - that slips into the chamber the way a 5.56 round would.



    Here's a 22LR BCG that is used along with a 22LR barrel
    Exactly the same, minus the chamber adapter, because this one mates up to a 22LR barrel.
