Posted 12 Feb 2016 Looking to buy a .22 conversion for an AC556. Let me know what You have and how much Kansas City, Missouri, United States Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 13 Feb 2016 Jonathan A. Ciener shows some available on his website starting around $245. I have an older "Hohrein" that I bought used for about $200 off of Gunbroker. Here's the webpage for Ciener; http://www.22lrconversions.com/mini-pg.htm He doesn't seem to have 30 round mags available all the time. I have read that the Black Dog mags work pretty well but they show out of stock right now too. http://blackdogmachinellc.net/mini14-ac556-mag.aspx HTH, Kent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 13 Feb 2016 Yeah, not really wanting to deal directly with Cierner. Ordered an AK kit a few years ago, and a few month later I receivedy check back in the mail. I have also heard of many similar A-hole type moves on his part. Looking to buy one from someone who had on hand (like yourself). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 13 Feb 2016 I have a Hohrein kit like Extraparts7. It is new and comes with two 10 round mags - plus the factory black plastic case. $200 shipped. PM if interested. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 13 Feb 2016 Be careful with these kits. At times the chamber insert will fit and at other times it will not. I haven't figured out why this is. Maybe manufacturing tolerances at Ciener and/or Ruger. I had a kit that fit, and worked, perfectly in a Mini-14 but would not fit in an AC556. I did some swapping around with a couple kits belonging to my buddy. After we were done my kit fit an AC and a Mini while the other two also kits fit his Minis and ACs. I can't explain why it was so, but it was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
