AR-15 22LR Upper

A link to the “reliability” Kit would be appreciated.

I use my home built AR .22 a lot. I like it. My only complaint is FTE effectively once in a while.

i can post internal pics of mine if anybody needs it

the 6lb spring (red) from Bore Buddy was the biggest difference maker

I have a 22mag AR, but for 22lr I can not beat 10/22 in all its weird configurations. I mean that stuff goes back to the 80s?

Longer than that I think @tsbond

Is 22LR really in danger of bolt bounce?? Looks a little bit like a marketing ploy.

think they mean the entire bolt moves front to back a little, not the part that slides when shooting

i dont use the plug, my buffer tube is empty

I know what bolt bounce is…it usually happens with PCC’s. I’m saying I don’t think 22LR is strong enough for that….

Building two they were picky… the collard/detent bolt bounce is real until you find the right tune and spring. I run the bb plug and 3# spring in a pistol for subs. Rifle has the red spring for supers…no tube on it.

its not that part of the bolt, .22 bolt cycles within itself

I forgot to mention replacing the firing pins due to lite strikes…no more after that. The rifle had a few FTE so l mocked up this shim…it worked.

I know. That’s why I am confused as to why they say it helps with bolt bounce. bolt bounce is not really an issue with 22LR because of the way the bcg is designed vs a regular ar15.

10-4! Wow 4 of them. Earlier in this thread l praised you not enough for your intel helping me tune mine and put a end of embarrassing moments on a private “gathering”. Because of you brother that is all behind me. What a learning experience it was
