A new complete CMMG 22lr dedicated AR upper costs about $590. Anyone have a trusty used 22 lr AR (brand irrelevant) upper that you no longer use that you'd sell with a couple magazines for some fair price less than $450? If so, send message.

Would consider trading a 10/22 carbine with OEM weaver 3x9 scope on an ATI chassis w/ folding stock, some upgrades (T&K extended mag release and bolt release) + magazines for upper.

If you haven't already you might want to consider just starting with the CMMG 22LR conversion kit for 5.56 ARs. It only costs about $200, comes with 3 mags and takes roughly the same time to install/uninstall as swapping uppers (in stock at PA here).

Your 5.56 barrel will be slightly less accurate shooting 22lr than a barrel chambered in 22LR, but for most uses it won't be enough to matter. At a later point you can still buy a CMMG 22LR barrel/collar to pair with this kit and make a dedicated upper.
