If it really was a "range rental" I think it's priced too high.
Although I have ONE AR 22lr, I have to say it's not as mechanically efficient as a 10-22. More places to wear or malfunction. More weight and bulk for similar performance. Quite possibly lower performance than a purpose designed 22 semi-auto.
I bought my 22lr AR upper as a "fun gun" for the Grandkids. KAK stock, 8.5" barrel, and suppressor makes a nice little kids' gun that looks like Granpa's 300AAC "Thumper"(so named by the kids due to the "THUMP" sound of the suppressor).
