I've got a colt conversion kit for my next gen. It works well and is easy to pack along. I've heard that ceiner is great until it doesn't work and you have to contact the company. I think a conversion kit is a better idea than a dedicated upper just because it's smaller and lighter and who's trying to shoot the wings off a fly with an AR?
The key is to use coated bullets (CCI Mini Mags for example) to reduce the potential of lead getting into the gas system and then blow any potential gunk out of the system with a couple .223 rounds when you're finished.
I've been using the Ciener/CMMG .22 kits for quite a while now with no issues. I have a friend who basically only uses the converstion kit for all his drills and training because of the ammo costs and has shot literally thousands of rounds with no issues. I haven't shot thousands but I've shot close to it.

We just got five kits in a few weeks ago and they all sold out...we've got another shipment coming in that include a Black Dog Mag (which work awesome with the kits) next week. At today's prices of ammo...they pay for themselves in no time and they double the usefulness of one tool making it two.
Are they usually readily available at shows?
