WTB: AC556 .22 conversion

Recommended Posts

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,

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.
