I would have ordered one in a heartbeat a couple years ago, had they been available. I spent about 20% more on a DPMS .22 LR upper instead, because it was available.

+1. Need review befo I buy. And just to make sure- for rimfire we can have all the evil features we want /max 10 rounds and rifle/barrel LOA apply/- so no fixed stock, flash hider ok, etc?

Yep... look at a SIG522 or M&P 15-22... if you make it look as cool as those, no worries because it is rimfire. My SIG522 has a adjustable AND folding stock, detachable mags, etc...
Some would say it is a nice thing to have an AR-22 handy with a non-neutered lower ready to PLINK. |

They have a few variations under $300... standard carbine setup with D-ring $299... and a floated keymod with Phosphate BCG instead of stainless is $299 too. Dunno if Keymod is robust enough for all the rimfire do-dads to hang off that rail though

i guess that's one way to liquidate your inventory of keymod handguards, "lol™"

We have one of the CMMG .22 uppers. After some tweaking it runs good. Part of our problem was the Timney that was in the lower. My husband’s buddy got one of the Palmetto .22s. Apparently it ran better out of the box than the CMMG. I can’t say though, haven’t shot it. I do like Palmetto for their value though. Definitely better than expected for the price.

Only problem I had with my CMMG was the POLY lower. It was complete so it had the craptastic polymer trigger group. I had a box of extra GI parts so I swapped in a 90's Bushmaster trigger group and the upper mated perfect. Never had any issues with it at the range. Might update it to a CMC trigger.

OP, my buddy got one of the PSA 22 uppers. We oiled it with CLP, used black dog machine magazines, and Federal AutoMatch ammo. Lower was an 80% we milled, and trigger was what came with a RRA $47 lower parts kit. I polished the sear surfaces and put JP enterprises trigger, hammer, and disconnector spring kit in it. Ran good, no jams or hiccups. He’s not a great shot so I can’t really comment on accuracy, but from a function standpoint it was 100%. |

Being familiar with the CMMG upper, the PSA looks really similar. Not sure if one company is making all the parts or what, but the actions look really similar. I didn’t do a side by side comparison, but my first thought when I saw the PSA was the same company must have made both of these uppers.
Also, to fix mistake above, he wasnt using black dog magazines. They were CMMG ones I brought because his black dog mags hadn’t showed up yet. |

PSA ar 22
Well I received the upper,I am testing it for the first time tomorrow, I ran a cleaning patch down the barrel, and it was really dirty. Now it is clean and hopefully everything will run perfect tomorrow.

PSA 22 upper
Well guys, great upper overall. I went through 325 rounds, I had so much fun I would have shot more if I brought more. Shot CCI standard vel. and CCI high vel. I had 1 FTF, the mad dog mags. fault. The night before I tested the upper I ran a patch through the upper and it was very dirty! I went through 5 patches to get it clean. Next day took it for some range time. Ran 30/10 round MD mags, and 20/10 round mags. The 10 round mags. worked great, but ended up loading 9 rounds in each mag. The upper ran great! Mags was another issue. I narrowed it down to one mag that was giving me problems. I am doing some filling on it Saturday.

The PSA upper was $299 with free shipping for awhile at the end of last year. I would've been all over it had I not bought a Nordic Components upper for a lot more money a few weeks earlier.
But, of all the tacticool semi-auto 22's I own or have shot, the most reliable and lightest is the S&W M&P 15-22. It just works. It's the Glock of tacticool 22's. So for almost the same price as this PSA upper (I paid $379 for my 15-22), you could buy a complete 22 AR that works and works and works. My expensive Nordic Components upper can't hold a candle to that M&P 15-22.

I do get this approach - I have a Sig522. But I do like that the Sig shares mags with any AR22’s I may own. Some people want the actual AR platform and a real lower. Maybe just because they like it or they have a lower setup the way they want (maybe with a great $200 trigger, etc). Maybe they just like the idea of having a modular rimfire rifle that has a un-neutered compete lower on it handy for those end of the world type scenarios.

I own the CMMG conversion and my friend has an M&P 22, the M&P feels like a toy compared to the conversion upper on a real lower. |

The PSA on the other hand ran like a top right out of the box for my buddy. Really glad because I recommended it to him after he was disappointed in the M&P he had bought. Forgot to add, wasnt a conversion kit, it’s a dedicated upper. |

My PSA deicated upper, at just under $400 ran without a problem. Standard and HV ammo. I love it so much I want to buy another one but can't justify it. Maybe if someone buys my CW9 I will get another.

Sorry, this has nothing to do with the PSA upper. Though I did
consider the $329 one with the stainless bolt set-up. Just a plug for dedicated uppers in general. I’ve probably got about 500 rounds of Blazer & AutoMatch thru my DPMS Bull Barrel dedicated upper (I think they use Nordic parts or copies). I can’t think of a single hiccup with it. With an EoTech XPS on it, it’s really accurate & everyone who’s shot it comes away with a smile. Funny, just realized the EoTech cost more than the upper. -Rick

I second the Sig 522 Classic. We have been very happy with ours. I think we've had it for about 6 years. I got carried away and put a MI front folding sight and Troy rear folding sight on it. And later I added a PA micro-dot. It is very reliable and fun to shoot. The 522 is a high quality .22LR with an aluminum upper receiver and chrome bolt. It has a quality feel to it and an adjustable folding stock (CA legal on a .22 rimfire). The controls of the 522 are not the same as an AR, but they are similar and very familiar and easy to use. We've put probably 4000 rounds through ours and I've been pretty bad about cleaning it. I've wiped down the insides and bolt a couple times, but I've not done a thorough cleaning. Disassembly is easier than a 10/22, but the 522 runs without much fuss. It seems to run on most any HV .22, and it seems to run on good standard velocity, but thrives on HV. I run almost exclusively copper jacketed rounds though my good 22s. We use the 522 for plinking steel and cans at Lake Shasta. It is really fun for kids and adults alike and is preferred for plinking over the 10/22 take down we have.

These are back down to $299. I own a CMMG dedicated 22LR upper and it is an identical twin to this "PSA." Shoots very well. I will wager dollars to donkey sh*t that this is made by CMMG. They provide many OEM parts to the industry.
Here is the flat top version at $299: http://palmettostatearmory.com/revie...list/id/29060/ |
