"Catch-22" Great name for their company

Thanks for the mag tape modification. Ill have to try it out

Very educational. Thank you, Sir.

I have a saiga but its just the rear conversion. I'm leaving it that way because i like the longer handgaurd. But i did install a zhukov folding stock. Love it.

Looks good Robb 👍

H&R arms has them

Nice hobby rc racer and gun racer like me😂😂

Thank you sir for this video, I have a question is it possible to change the barrel with ruger 10/22 inox fluted, and change the trigger block I have a KRISS DMK22C ARCA-SWISS Black cal.22 Lr Thank's Mister.

How is the accuracy of that Right to Bear barrel?

Hi Robb, I am using the Catch22 V2 bolt catch, magwell shim, and the M&P15-22 magazine. I did dremel out the slot to make the follower travel higher, and managed to have last round bolt hold open like 70% of the time. My question is, as soon as I drop the mag the bolt closes immediately. Do you know how I could remedy this?

During COVID I found that CMMG conversion kit w/3 mags on sale for about $180.00, and like you, found the accuracy in my 5.56 leaving a bit to be desired. I found that same pencil barrel at Right To Bear, along with the collar, and went down the same rabbit hole. I ended up finding Bore Buddy along the way and started with the "reliability kit", then the firing pin, extractor, the bolt bumper pad, the adjustable weight set and springs. I used an Aero lower, PSA upper, a PSA EPT 2 Stage trigger, RTB 0.625" Front sight base, Magpul MOE SL handguard and carbine stock. I am really pleased with how accurate that little pencil barrel is. I have not had any feeding issues at all, my CMMG magazines don't seem to wobble like you showed, and I have no trouble loading them to capacity. Now that I am retired , I find it nice the shoot at $0.08-9 per round, as opposed to $.80 per round. Thanks for the well presented video. Subscribed

Borebuddy makes upgraded springs for the cmmg that solve this issue.

Your the person I've seen do a full breakdown of the 22LR AR platform......great info to know us want to build an AR-22 rifle.

Apparently the Black Dog 32rd mag has ben changed (Gen III) and is now compatible with the Catch-22.

This looks like a bootleg : Device Manufacturing.

Wow. I started the same way, got the CMMG conversion kit, and had the same outcome. Everything stated here is 100% accurate. The CMMG kit is good for what it is. As a trainer to use your existing AR. For that one purpose, it’s great But accuracy is crap, and it dirties the expensive AR a lot, so I’m now rethinking it. Now I want a dedicated 22 lr upper, but as close as possible to a real AR, but I also want accuracy. CMMG and Tippman birth come up, but they have their own drawbacks. I just want a complete upper to fit my existing lowers, and be accurate.

What kind of red dot please 🙏

I would love if they came out with a slimline version of the Enhanced Handguard with the same mounting

For anyone interested, check out Redi-Mag (Boonie Packer Better-Mag), I don't have any experience using it, but it is on the list of upgrades for my dedicated AR 22LR. I too went the CMMG Bravo conversion, I liked how easy it was, and how reliable it was, but I didn't like how "accurate" it was. So I too chose to build a dedicated 22lr. I've probably researched ALL of the 22lr upgrades. I have scoured the internet for many many hours looking at the possible upgrades for the 22lr. The Redi-Mag and M&P 15-22 mags work VERY well with the Redi-Mag. They also said the Blackdog mags work very well with them too. The one nice thing about the M&P15-22 mags is the round/magazine follower allows you to effortlessly load a full mag every time, and without your fingers getting tired, by being able to pull the follower down with your fingers away from the feed lips. You don't need the CMMG 22lr bolt catch, or Catch22 bolt catch, when using the Redi-Mag, the factory bolt catch. From what I've learned the Redi-Mag is also more reliable than the CMMG or Catch22 bolt catch. I must also warn, you cannot use the CMMG Mags with the Redi-Mag. You have to use M&P15-22 or the Blackdog mags.

I like the New Midwest reaction rod with sail!😎, You are near me AR Rob. We are neighbors!

Master I agree with you I built lower aero M4 A1 with adam arms piston drive upper with magppul adds and is a ferrari god bless you and good luck warrior

Yep, I love their integrated barrel nut Enhanced receiver and have 3ea myself,,, very sweet.. I also have both styles of Quantum handguards.-- railed and unrailed. The railed picatinny handguard will fit over a SA .936 gas block on a Lilja bull barrel..I'm an old fart too! Big Aero and Geissele Fanboy!

My apologies for my question below that answered at the end of your video

Great Videos. I just purchased a BearCreek 22LR upper to pair with a Palmetto State Lower. Seems to function fine although I didn't know enough to expect the bolt hold open issue. Seems like relying on the round follower to hold the bolt open is sooner or later going to be a fail point. I'm curious as to whether or not you have used or considered the Boonie Packer setup? Thanks again for these videos

Ohhh bad boy ghoster

Aero is my favorite

can i use a spare ar15 barrel and install a gas block upside down or something with the cmmg conversion kit and take the whole gas tube out of the equation?

Nice builds!

I recently did a build with the X15 lower instead of the M4e1. Put a BCM upper on it and she’s ready to roll.

I ended with the Bonnie Packer Better Mag adapter and S&W 15-22 mags. Took me a while to get it figured out.

Awesome breakdown, thanks

Great video old man. Getting started on my own 22lr AR build.

Aero didn't give me a Hammer pin when they mailed my lower parts kit. I hit them up on their website using the chat function and they sent me the pin without issue.

I broke a Kriss Defiance bolt catch, just snapped in half! Would order a second but they seem to be out of stock. 😅

Since the CMMG mags have that extra play, a lot like the M&P15-22 mags, thats got me wondering if the adhesive shims from Catch22 would help alleviate that issue for the CMMG mags as well.

Now I feel dumb for buying the reloading tool.

Hi AR Robb, I was using the Kriss mag catch and one day at the range it just snapped off at the ping pong paddle part. So maybe worth going with the Ar mag catch instead. 😉

Aero Precision uppers and lowers are the only thing I use for all my builds with the exception of my AR22 build which is a combo of PSA, CMMG, catch 22, bore buddy, and S&W mags.

I bought the catch22 magwell shim/clip, and hoping that works

Excellent video. I just purchased the catch 22 gen2 and the mag well shim and two 15-22 mags. I did not realize you had to modify the mags to work, so your description will be very helpful. I am going to try to mod the catch 22 first as opposed to modding the mag itself. Plan B is to mod the mag though if needed.

Seems like the Vizm would work best while installing a barrel because it doesn't rely on the lugs like the Bev Block does.

Thank you sir for this video. ALso your voice is amazing for narratives.

Very sexy AR-15 collection.

Ive built 2 of these and about to do a 3rd this evening. A tip for anyone wanting to build this and also have accurate back up iron sights or use a DABL or MAWL. Get an inch pound torque wrench and blue loctite. Torque the rail screws to 25lb/in in a criss cross pattern like lug nuts. Put the loctite on before you do. Torqued to 25lb/in a cross pattern evenly seats the rail and perfectly centers it around the barrel. My irons only required 4 clicks from dead center to zero at 100yds doing this.

good video, maybe I won't need the loading tool

Great video thanks for the help.

Great video. You can find reviews and comparisons everywhere, everyone does them. What you dont see is just a guy who shows you some different builds hes done, telling you what he likes and has changed. This ol boy isnt selling a thing. Simply sharing his opinion from his experience which to me is extremely helpful and much appreciated. I wish there were more like this, much deserving of more than 16000 views. And since this is his opinion, no claims this is better than... lets respect that and keep the "I'll never blah blah...this is better" personal opinion (twice the money for maybe minimal improvement) comments to yourself please. Respect your elders! Thanks for the video.

Robb, I was pretty much sold on Aero for my 1st AR already, but I like your review of their products. I like the Enhanced on the bottom of the 3 ya have there for most of the video. Thanks for the 5D Tactical tip.

I WILL NEVER buy thier barrels again, they just can't compete with white oak, criterion or even Rosco barrels!!!

This is one of the best video that I watched for the issue of CMMG V1 mag. It would be great to know what the product number of Gorilla tape is. I wasn't able to find one that you addressed on the video.
