[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 912552, member: 229"] Both the Colt and Smith apparently have some pretty bad issues with lots of failures to feed/eject. I've been looking into this exact same thing for a friend who wanted one for his son and just told him that he could build a real AR for just a few bucks more than one of the .22lr/toy versions. MAS can get complete uppers for very cheap - get yourself a basic lower and sell the BCG and just buy a .22lr Spikes or CMMG kit from MAS or one of the other dealers on this site and have just a $100 or so more in it than one of the .22lr's and then you could upgrade it to the real deal with just a BCG upgrade and a magazine. $500 is a lot to pay for something that just looks cool and fails to do what its supposed to do. If you're set on just a .22 - check out the Ruger SR522 - its basically a 10/22 in a fancy stock, but at least it would be as reliable as a 10/22. [/QUOTE]
