AA 22cal Standard Conversion Kit

[CalWhit33]

Looking at the site, I found under the specials tab discontinued commander models for $175 thats $100 off regular price. Thats right up my price range so I grabbed one. Says its a Feb 2010 model and current production has changed a little not sure what hoping like its the FCS!! It might turn out to be a complete pile of junk haha but Im going to brave it.

I was actually thinking about posting that on here lol.....saw them myself when I was figuring if I wanted to buy the one I got. That's a heck of a deal!...but I wanted the 5inch barrel and couldnt walk away from that one with no FCS lol. When you get it, post it on here for we can see what's different on it. Maybe this will turn into a 22 conversion sticky lol.

Did you notice that ALL current models (Target, Standard, and Commander) are backordered? Been that way more at least several monthes......the kit you ordered is the only ones available on their site and may be that way for quite some time

Here's the link to the closeout commander ones if anyone is interested: http://www.advantagearms.com/mm5/mer..._Code=Specials

I did notice that but rereading I forgot to mention that. Im hoping the commander wont bother me tho. I dont go for tight groups mainly paper plates so 1.5" is ok by me. And for almost half off it can have FCS and a huge billboard on the side. haha. Its being shipped to Ca to meet me in my vacation so it will be 2 weeks before I see it, but Ill let you know how it goes

Agreed, at that price, you cant go wrong lol. And like I mentioned, Ive only been looking into them for a month or so, and that whole time every conversion they sell has been out-of-stock. Look forward to seeing it

Bear with me here on this lol.....Ive only been able to fire off 50 rounds in over a year because of schooling and other priorities, so Im rusty as all get out lol.

Yesterday the rain let up enough for me to get outside and tack a target up. This is only at 25 feet and man was it a sloppy group on my account. It was hitting high and to the right, so I looked at the rear sight and seen that someone had it cranked over to compensate for something they were likely doing. It was still lightly raining, so instead of adjusting the sight, I just adjusted my aim until I walked them in closer to center.

Once I knocked some of the rust of my trigger finger lol, found POI, and got to know her a little better, I finished off my box of ammo.

70rds of Remington Golden Bullet, 25 ft:


When I have the time and ammo handly, I'll dial that rear sight in and give you a better account of the conversion's performance. I noticed another thing too, because of how much lighter the 22 top end is, it exxagerates the not-so-crisp feel of my RIA factory trigger group hehe.

So with a 100 rounds through it, only had 1 failure to chamber, and I think it was the round, because I put it back in a mag and it did it again. Not to bad IMHO and I look forward to trying to wear this thing out haha.
