Question fellas,

Can you recommend a .22LR kit to convert my soon to be m16a2, a1? I would like to save some money by shooting 22LR instead of .223.

Is it even possible to reliably shoot .22LR on a converted .223? I've been doing some research and there appears to be some reliable ones, like the one from STAG. But all the reviews are for semi auto conversions.

If I convert, should I use an entirely different upper for the .22LR? I have a nice SBR upper (a colt commando 11.5 inch), and I don't want to foul it, so I'm thinking of just buying a .22LR dedicated upper. Will this in any way damage the lower? I don't think so, but you guys have more knowledge than I do on this topic, and I would like to make sure.
