I purchased the .22 LR conversion upper for my Glock. I like it, but one issue I was very aware of was the for the price, I was close to being able to purchase a deticated .22 LR. If I'm not mistaken, that cost ratio increases far more ($600+ to $1000?) when you deside to go with an AR-15 .22 LR conversion or deticated .22 LR on an AR platform. I have often wondered why the best option would not be to just to get a Rugger 10/22 with an AR like conversion.

I've also considered purchasing a bolt action .22 LR so I could practice the basics, without the recoil of my 30.06 hunting rifle. Just feels at some point the basics are the basics, and you can learn just as much with a deticated .22 LR semi-auto as you could the conversion kit for the AR-15.
