.22 Conversions

[Foghorn]

I just picked up a used ceiner kit for my Lmt and I got to wondering if these cause any problems I should be aware of before I start using it?? This is a work gun, but if it's safe im looking forward to some cheap trigger time. Thanks----

Your 5.56 barrel will have the wrong twist rate for optimum accuracy.

I had a CMMG drop in kit and the accuracy was, well it sucked. I didnt have the problem but Ive heard of 22 conversions being hard on trigger pins

Accuracy is ok up to about 50 yards, don't expect much more than that when using a 1/9 twist rate.
Use KNS pins and you won't have problems with the trigger and hammer pins opening up and make sure you shoot a few .223/5.56 rounds after 500ish rounds of .22 to keep the gas tube from clogging too much with lead buildup. I don't know that it would really clog up bad enough to make your rifle a single shot, but it's better to take 10 seconds to clean it and not worry about it.
Don't use any pipe cleaners or anything else to clean up the gas tube, the pressures from a 5.56 will blow out any debris in there.

Other than that.... have fun with the conversion kit
