22 AR build question - Swampfox - 11-20-2018
Im going to be doing a 22 upper build after I finish my Grendel build. Is the Beyer barrel worth the extra money over the CMMG barrel?

If your talking 22 long rifle rimfire I’d say yes.

Vascar yes a dedicated 22LR upper.

If your shooting for small groups on paper targets with quality ammo or trying to make head shots on squirrels the Beyer barrel is worth the extra money. If your going to be practicing CQB drills and shooting mostly steel plates with mag dumps using bulk ammo I’d just as soon have the Nitride CMMG. The Beyer barrel is a stainless steel liner in an aluminum housing and are reported to be very good accurate barrels. I think it really depends on how your normally going to use your 22 LR AR-15.
The AR-15’s in 22 rimfire can be very addictive in a similar fashion to the 6.5 Grendel, they tend to multiply.

Vascar you hit the nail on the head with what Im going to do with the build. This is a squirrel hunting upper so head shots.
