Can you build a better .22LR AR15 than a 15-22?

[Glocker23]

uxo2,

So with the Catch 22, you can use the 15-22 Mags AND the CMMG/BlackDog style mags and they both work with LRHO?

Sorry I am not understanding you well. Going to try to spell it out to see if I can get it better.

I have

15-22 Mags
CMMG Mags
Blackdog Mags

If I'm building an AR15, 22LR upper with a standard AR15 lower, I can
Insert the CMMG Mags and Blackdog Mags. I never tried the 15-22 Magazines to see if they work.

I don't recall if BHO and LBHO works in this configuration or not.

If I'm adding in the Catch 22. How does it change things? Am I able to now insert CMMG, Blackdog, and 15-22's? Do they all work for BHO and LBHO.

Thanks for the help and great quote on the bottom. Patton is the man.

Do you just use a bolt catch then from a standard LPK?

Correct, with a Better-Mag adapter a standard mil spec magazine release lever is all you need. Highly recommend the system, works great.

Anyone know if the better mag product works with Taccom 22 tracker complete uppers?

Forget the Catch 22, its unreliable and DOES NOT work with M&P15-22 mags.

The Better-Mag adapter ONLY works with M&P15-22 mags, but you can take it out easily and use BDM mags(of course you lose the bolt release function).

Get the Better-Mag adapter and invest in M&P15-22 mags. It is by far the best system for CMMG dedicated ARs. Not only is the bolt release function 100 percent reliable, M&P15-22 mags are better than BDM, IMO. Easier to load as well, makes a big difference in high volume shooting sessions. Also factory 10-25 blocked mags readily available.

+1. This is a great combo for someone who wants to replicate exact feel/operation of a true AR15 on a rimfire platform..

cmmg upper, Better-mag adapter, standard ar15 lower and Mp15-22 mags. Very reliable. I even use the Magpul BAD lever with it.

YES But only 15/22s work for the LRHO
.

BD mags there is no LRHO..
Just like regular BD mags. BHO only



Sorry I am not understanding you well. Going to try to spell it out to see if I can get it better.

I have

15-22 Mags - LRHO-

BHO only
CMMG Mags
Blackdog Mags

YES all 3 work but only the 15/22s will work as a LRBHO.

The only thing is you need a cheap shim on 15/22 mags.

Are stating a fact or opinion
I Have never had any issues with the Catch22 acting as
a LRBHO when using 15/22 mags.
and niether has

and another plus for catch22.
If you have preban ciener mags ""over 10rnds"
You can use them as such unlike 10rnd 15/22 mags

Get a TACCOM upper... light, extremely reliable, stupidly accurate.

I own a lot of dedicated uppers and my Taccom is still what i go to every time.

[michaelktran]

NorCalDustin,
Have you tried Better-Mag with the Taccom upper? I want to know if it works on those uppers.

[NorCalDustin]

No i haven't... The S&W 15-22 mag is one of the few that do not work out of the box with most standard uppers... While the Better mag should work fine, i just haven't had the need since there are so many other magazines available.
