22RF Conversion for "Evil Black Rifles"...
22RF Conversion Video <==== My AR-15 "Shortie" with the 22RF conversion
At the gunshow this past weekend (7/10-11/10) I bought a Target Master 22RF conversion for AR-15s. Click on the link above to see the first test firing.............. Sorry for the poor video quality, but I selected a format size for quick upload.
At the gunshow Saturday I talk to the guy selling these. I drilled him pretty good about his units. He had good answers...... Not being very knowledgable of these type conversions myself, I went home and posted here asking for your opinions. Got NO replies... you BUMS....

Saturday night I did some Internet research on the conversion units and the S&W, Colt and Ruger 22-AR rifles. This unit that uses Blackdog mags was well liked. As a sidebar... The S&W rifle seemed to be the best. The Ruger is a 10/22 wrapped in POS plastic. After handling a S&W and Ruger at the gunshow Sunday, the S&W was "nice" but very light (plastic parts). The Ruger just looked POS from one end to the other........... The only thing that looked "AR" about the Ruger was the M4 type stock. Both were priced about the same at around $550. WAY TOO MUCH...... IMHO.
I went with the conversion unit mainly because I will be shooting my REAL AR-15s. Not light-weight 22RF copies. True, I might be giving up some accuracy because of the smooth-bore section and the barrel twist rate, but function & feel is more important to me. Plus I just doubled the number of AR-15s I have..... so to speak.....

Today I went to the range to test my new TOY..... I only had 2 types of ammo (Federal Champion and Remington Golden Bullet). I started with the Fed. and had a few FTE jams. The Rem. ran almost perfect. The test today was only 150+ rounds. I was not shooting for accuracy, just function today. However, the bullets were hitting very close to point-of-aim at both 50 & 100 yards (from off-hand shooting at items on the berms). I am very happy with my $175 (unit + one 25rd mag) purchase.
