Off Season Lets Talk Guns
Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.
Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon? Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware? Part 2: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=293623 Last edited by Bearcat; 07-28-2015 at 06:06 PM.. |

Then again, it would probably feel about like shooting a pellet gun.

Just get another rifle. The cost would be about the same unless you found a great deal on a kit somewhere. I did hold a Sig522, and it felt really good. A few guys on here have one. I just couldn't bring myself to spend $450 on a .22. |

No, you can get a drop-in bolt conversion for about $150. You don't have to pull the pins or anything, just pop out the bolt and replace it with a new one. I think it's because the similarity in the caliber between a .22 and a NATO 5.56 round - so you don't even have to change the barrel out or anything. It's just a smaller bolt that can cycle and fire a rimfire cartridge.

As long as it doesn't hurt the barrel by having a bullet that is .003 smaller "bouncing" around, it sounds like good, cheap fun. Another thing, how would it seat into the barrel properly? I am going to do a litte research. Figuring out how stuff works facinates me. |

Here we go:
CONTENTS: The unit consists of a sub-caliber bolt/chamber adapter/return spring and guide rod/receiver rail assembly and magazine in a fitted plastic case that replaces the standard bolt/bolt carrier assembly in the AR15/M16 family of rifles. |

The problem you will encounter is that the rifling in the barrel may not be slow enough to accurately stabilize/not destroy the .22LR bullets. |

Wow they have come way down in price. Im positive they were right at 600 a couple years ago when they first hit the market. For that price I can see doing it.

There has been a lot of strange abduction crap going on in the region around here. I think it's time to go out and pick up a nice Glock 23 .40 caliber for Mrs. Bwana and get her a conceal and carry license.

I'm sure it would be fun, but living in Illinois I fear it would be more trouble that it's worth. Although I've heard people using them at the outdoor range I go to.

I like how you can click the stock into place & be back normal trigger pull.
