Description
Steve and Caleb from Brownells take the CMMG .22 LR conversion setups to Big Springs Range for some affordable AR-15 plinking. Following Caleb’s conversion kit and dedicated upper overview, it’s time to shoot steel and see how the setups perform.
Both hosts take turns on the plate targets, try the compact dedicated .22 LR setup, and share their impressions. Cold weather, wind, and stubborn targets don’t keep this range session from being a good time.
Watch the earlier build video for the differences between a CMMG conversion kit and a dedicated .22 LR upper. Have experience with either setup? Tell us about it in the comments.
