    Heard a lot of good things about the Sig 522. Lots of information and reviews on the net and U tube.

    The S&W 15-22 is a good one since they got the bugs out [;)]
    You can use a lot of AR parts in them.

    I've heard a lot of good things about the S&W, not so good about the Colt/Umarex.

    Then think about a real AR lower, and a dedicated upper.

    Best

    This.

    If the whole point of having a .22 conversion is to get trigger time for the "real deal", then what could be better than having a real .22 unit on top of your AR?

    Cost of a dedicated upper should be similar to a .22 AR15 lookalike with similar (or better) performance, and better feel.

    I have the Sig 522, and let me tell you, that is an awesome gun! I put a inexpensive optic from Midway on it, and it shoots very accurately, i'm very satified with it!

    The rimfire specific AR style rifles just didn't do it for me. Plastic or poly where it shouldn't be, different weight and different feel. I went with a "real AR" lower and attached a CMMG rimfire upper with a few tweaks to make it identical to a centerfire version. There are other dedicated uppers out there, Nordic makes a very good upper too.

    As an aside, I'd skip the "chamber insert" drop in type. Long bullet jump and a rate of twist incorrect for the rimfire doesn't bode well for good accuracy.

    You could always just buy a cmmg 22 conversion for an AR, if you already have one!

    GSG-5 does it for me!
