the conversion takes just 10 seconds, and it weighs just 3/4 lb. So you can always carry it with you, but you can't carry both an AR and an M&P.(along with the pack of stuff you'll also need, water, etc) Any mods, like a suppressor, luminous sights, scope, folding stock, trigger job, etc, that you add to the AR is automoatically also added to the .22 unit. That fact saves you at least $1000, as vs kitting out a pair of rifles properly. There is no reason to have just a centerfire or just a rimfire, when you can easily have both. Sure, you could have a suppressed .22lr handgun, but training with a handgun wont make you faster at hitting with the rifle. Training with the .22 unit will do so, however.
much is sometimes made of the "risk" of 22lr wax in the gas system. I've never had a problem, but then I also average a few rds of 223 thru the gun for every 200 or so rds of 22lr, too. I suggest that you do likewise, and the 223's will burn/scrub the 22lr crude out of your rifle and suppressor.
