    If anything like the "COLT" they will be a blast to play with.
    Wonder if made by same company [?][?]

    Well if you shoot a thousand rounds through a 22 conversion, you just saved your self a 300-500.00 dollars in practice ammo.[;)]

    This one ain't a conversion but a tru .22. I think they could have made the magazine not so big and still had 25 round capacity.

    That is one of the reasons I built a dedicated (not a conversion) .22 caliber AR out of a REAL AR and use Blackdog mags. The other reason is it is a real AR with fully interchange able parts other then the caliber specific parts (no different then building an AR in any caliber).


    In this pic other then the mag there is no way to tell what caliber this gun is since it use all real AR parts (oops I used the one with the dust cover open so you can see the .22 cal bolt),

    The Colt is made by Carl Walther & imported by Umarex. The S&W may be, too.

    I don't think $450 is so crazy for a .22LR *IF* its a quality gun.

    Again, if you figure .22LR ammo is $0.05 cents a round and .223 ammo is $0.30 per round, you'll pay for the entire cost of this gun out of ammo savings after 4 bricks of .22 fired.

    If you just want a .22LR with the feel of an AR-15, there are other ways to get there.

    For example, there are conversion kits that will give a Ruger 10-22 the look/feel of an AR-15, though not quite to the extent of this Smith.

    I like the idea of a dedicated .22LR upper, but the problem with building a .22LR on a REAL AR-15 platform (as opposed to this Smith look-alike that doesn't really interchange parts) is that its probably going to cost you a lot more than $450 to get there.

    I've seen dedicated uppers (with 1:16 twist .22LR ready barrels and conversion built in) retail for $600. If you figure that pretty much ANY working lower is going to cost you at least $150, you're pretty quickly outstripping the cost of the Smith (or Colt) labelled clones.
