I have the S&W and a H&K both in AR platform .22LR.
Do they make a .22 Mag in the same platform?

Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

That is too cool. Love the concept. Always wanted a volquartsen in 22wmr or 17hmr because a semi in either seems awesome. This is cheaper.
I'm a dude who likes long barrels!

I need one of those! I have an SBR lower that currently has a 22 LR on it...would love to have a shorty 17 or 22 mag upper for it.

Keep in mind 22mag ammo is $0.26 a round. That 22lr is $0.06, you can burn money a lot faster with that semi auto 22mag. I can't speak from first hand experience because I backed away from the semi auto mag and stuck with my bolt but I heard some about some cycling issues, take that for what you paid for it. There is a reason Ruger discontinued the 10/22mag.

Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

Thanks doc, I would like something more substantial than the CMMG conversion kit Then get a Compass Lake upper. They are substantially more expensive than a CMMG or TacSol.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

I built my complete .22lr upper using the cmmg bcg and barrel. I use black dog magazines and it's a blast to shoot. It gets used more than my other 2 ARs
