Looking to buy a conversion kit.CMMG AR 15 5.56/223 to 22lr. What are your pros and cons to this conversion? Any other particular brand conversion to look for? Any issues with firing/barrel problems? Been seeing these in the 2-3 hundred dollar range. Any chance these prices coming back down to respectable prices after this BS is over with?

The cmmg are nice to plink with but are not that accurate. If you just want it to practice with then they are ok. If you want it to be as accurate as a ruger 10/22 get a dedicated upper.

As for the prices coming down that is just a waiting game. Sooner or later

I have a CMMG conversion, it's fun for plinking especially at the short range like 40-100 yards. I haven't had any issues with mine but you do notice that you are shooting 22 very quickly the first time you go to clean your rifle, it gets dirty fast because 22 is nasty.
