Need one for the .22WMR.

 

Does it use the standard M4-22 magazines? Will the Tippmann speed loader work?

It says on the Tippmann website:

"Conversion kit utilizes our proprietary 25rnd magazines that has been modified to fit the AR lower."

 

No, Tippmann had to mill the magazine to fit a standard AR lower which makes sense. The milling doesn't look that challenging, I have a customer who is going to give it a shot.

 

Definitely interested in hearing more about this

 

On sale, $355.99 at:

Resiliant Arms

 

Any updates on performance/reliability? There's so little info on Tippmann's website It seems like it's in more of a beta test phase than production. I also couldn't find a listing for compatible magazines. I presume you could order directly from Tippmann?

 

I'm a recent customer or Resilient Arms. A five star vendor for sure.

 

Will Black Dog Machine 22lr mags work? I'm guessing they won't but thought I'd ask.

 

Also in for an update.

 

Any word on whether we'll see a micro elite version of this upper? I like the idea, and have an SBR AR-15 lower I could dedicate to it.

Also, looks like the magazines just went up for sale, and they work with the regular rifles.

 

Would be great to know a few things on these conversion kits, when someone gets a chance to try one:

• How are they working with existing lowers/triggers in terms of overall reliability, and compatibility? Any issues?
• How is the accuracy of one of these, compared to say a similar dedicated M4-22 elite rifle? Wondering if fit between conversion upper > milspec lower has any impact.
• Magazines. For those of us who invested in M4-22 original mags (I have a dozen), would there be a way to convert the mags or buy a mag conversion kit so we don't have to buy a whole new set of mags? This would be a deal killer, for me.

 

First look at the new M4-22 Upper Conversion Kit's!

These are well made and just like an M4-22 Elite upper. It comes with an aluminum handguard.
You will notice that the magazine is milled to fit a standard AR15 lower receiver. Also comes with a buffer spring. The instructions that come with it are good, has some troubleshooting but I have not heard of issues during testing.

I'll try the conversion kit on one of my AR lowers and share info. on how it shoots.

I have two and both are reasonably good, meaning ~ 0.6-7" at 50 yrds with CCI standard velocity.
