I"ve seen a place that sells them for the AR15, Mini-4, and the AK. Now, at first blush, this seems to me to be a great idea for survival and shtf. Why be stuck with just a rimfire or just a centerfire, when you can easily have both? Carrying a pack and 2 rifles aint very practical (at all). Sure, during caliber swaps, there's a few seconds of time with your rifle "down", but hey, everybody plans to be cleaning their bore a lot, and the rifle is most certainly out of the fight while you've got a cleaning rod in the bore, eh? Some seem to think that a .22 autoloader, with a 30 rd magazine, is some sort of joke, but if the range is not much beyond 100m, it's quite a deadly tool. Yes, you can have some sort of 22 handgun paired with your centerfire rifle, but then you either won't have a pistol with some stopping power, or you have to lug along another pistol. Also, practice with the .22 handgun won't make you more skilled with the shtf rifle, but practicing with the .22 conversion will help your rifle skills. Especially given a scope on your rifle, at dusk, dawn or in thick cover, the .22 unit in a rifle will be considerably more likely to take game than a .22 handgun (especially if using the iron sights on the handgun). When you go with 2 rifles, you have to put scopes, trigger jobs, luminious sights, folding stocks, etc, on both. With the .22lr unit, anything that you do to the centerfire is automatically also done to the .22 unit. That one fact can save you a ton of money. Any contrary thoughts/experience? Ive seen claims that if you are dumb and fire 10,000 rds of .22's without any centerfire rds being fired, the lead and wax buildup can cause problems. So I"d make it a point to fire a couple of 223's for every 200 or so rds of .22lr, just to blow out the crud. Last edited by derailuer; 08-30-2014 at 04:52 PM. |

I regret not buying a Charger while they were still in production. It was on my "to buy" list! |
