Anyone selling an EBR version with full bells & whistles?

Check out Spikes Tactical, they make both dedicated 22LR uppers as well as drop-in conversions. I've heard nothing but positive things about them.

I've had one (drop in conversion) on order from Spikes since mid-February - they're currently a bit back ordered, but if anyone is interested, let me know and I post a quick review in the Rifles/Shotgun forum once I get it in and test it out.

I'd definitely be interested in a review once you get it out to the range.

There is an AR in .22 on http://www.texasguntrader.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; right now. He wants to sell the upper and mags or the whole rifle. Good luck.

I had my AR with an old M 261 kit out at the range this past weekend with some noob shooters. Gotta admit its a BLAST on swinging steel with an Aimpoint and a bucket of cheap 22 ammo. Everybody had fun with that gun. The EBR with the bipod and heavy SS barrel did not evoke any requests from the lady noob shooters, but the 22 sure did.

brownells.com has them in stock.

I liked my first one so much I ordered a second for my build project.

199 for the drop in and 1 mag. $35 per extra mag (26 or 27 round). I have mags and they are a BLAST and cheap.

Texasag93 - how is the accuracy with the drop in kit? Any problem with leading up your 223 barrel? I was thinking the dedicated upper with 16 twist barrel would be better than a conversion kit but your thoughts would be appreciated.

I was out this weekend and went through about 200 rounds per rifle. I looked at the barrels, one chrome lined and the other not.

Neither had a problem with fouling. I use brass washed 22 mostly. I have shot some lead bullet to see how it shot and it was fine.

I do not have a scope on my AR.

It is very accurate at 25 yards. I would say the same as any other iron sites .22 I have.

At 100 yards, I keep 90% in a standard silloutte in moderate winds.

I say this about the 100 yards as I have not precision shoot at 100 yet. Due to the fact that I go to a fairly windy place (North of Dallas) I have not been able to do true precision shooting.

I also shoot this for pure pull the trigger fun. Rapid fire (25 rounds in 15 seconds) is how I mostly shoot. At 25 yards, all of the shots stay inside a paper plate. Easy to control, easy to shoot.

I will say this, using .22s that the brass has tarnished does cause FTEs. This weekend I was shotting my old stuff and it was a problem. When shooting new boxes I have a failure about 1 out of 100 rounds.

Spend the $5 to $10 on the AR brass cather, otherwise you have 22 brass everywhere.
