Does anyone have any experience or opinions on the drop in 22LR conversion kits for AR's, such as those mfg'd by CMMG?

Cost primarily, you can go the conversion route for half the cost of a complete rifle. They work well but speaking for myself I don't want or need another AR style rifle to lug around in order to shoot 22's.PapaBear said:Why not just go with a .22LR dedicated AR style rifle like the 15-22?

What brand/model 22LR conversion do you have? What ammo does it like best? I am considering a CMMG in carbon steel. Any insights you can share?
Hello,
The brand is CMMG. I used 36gr Winchester ammo. (bulk). I shot only like 20 rounds with it, because I had no time for more, but It works. (Heavier gr bullets work better in the 1:7-1:8-1:9 twist barrels.)
