CMMG Bravo 22LR AR-15 Conversion Kit worth it?

[Tacos4me]

I saw where Classic Firearms has the CMMG Bravo 22LR AR-15 Conversion kit with 3 mags for sale.
Are these worth it? Do they work well? Any words of wisdom from folks who have used it?
Thanks,

I absolutely LOVE mine. Allows for using 22 which seems to be in stock every once an awhile (more so than 223). Consider how much shooting 500 rounds of 223 or 500 round brink of 22 = The conversion kit just paid for itself! I do not find shooting 22 out of a 223 barrel the most accurate (22s prefer different twist rate), but all of the mechanics are same and for close in drills (under 50 yards) it is close enough.

Mine have worked great. Took awhile to break in the mags so I only loaded them to 15 or so rounds initially. Black Dog mags also work well. Here's another thread on the conversions.

Thanks! I should have looked for previous threads. I am tempted to get the kit, it comes with 3 mags.

Buy one.
They're great for plinking.
Run it wet. Type A Tranny fluid works well.
Don't expect MOA.
Buy the gray magazines. They are usually cheaper and you can dye them black with Ritz Dye.

* Do not use any types of solvents on magazines with plastic feed lips.

or buy a dedicated cmmg upper in 22lr with the bolt/barrel kit. Expect MOA with that. I love mine. I use it on my SBR.

The kits are great, work well, and are as accurate as I am. The sale with 3 mags is a great price, I paid way more when ordering extra mags with mine.

IIRC, the CMMG 22 conversion kit bolt has a lifetime warranty.

I run mine with these Chiappa Arms 28-round magazines. $18 at GunMagWarehouse.com: Chiappa M4 .22 LR 28-Round Magazine
