    In my experience, shooting 22LR through an AR barrel sucks. I could barely hit a 6" pie plate at 50yds. With a real 22LR barrel (1:16 twist) it'll hit a quarter. Cleaning lead out of an AR barrel is easily done by firing some 223 when you're done.

    That's what I've been debating brace or blade. Just looks like the brace would be more comfortable.

    Anyone have any advice for me on this issue would be a huge help. I can get pictures later if needed.

    %80 lower I just finished milling. Assembled the lower, using a drop-in Black rain ordnance trigger. Snap the upper on, go to rack the gun, and the bolt gets bound up about half way through the cycle and will get stuck. If you release either of the pins to detach the upper/lower, the bolt will fly forward. Obvious pressure on the bolt causing it to bind up. If I remove the drop in trigger, I can rack/cycle the bolt smoothly no issues. So obviously my issue is coming from the trigger. How to solve it I'm unsure of though.

    I have the 332 and I love it. Was nearly zeroed out of the box. Super clear glass and bright red and green lighted reticle. I hardly ever use the light because the etched reticle is so easy to see. Has been banged around in my rifle bag and has always maintained zero. You won't be disappointed if you get it.

    My 15-22. Yes, most definitely get one if you are interested. Fun to shoot and sometimes more appropriate than a .223.

    Any where I can find a deal for the most part.

    But, I recommend Primary Arms and Aim Surplus.

    Not a fan of those robo arm brace things, but I know they are necessary in some locales.

    So the guys at Ghost Arms never replied to my email about the barrel nut not fitting. But, got a surprise package from them today containing one brand new barrel nut. If I didn't have the guard already installed I'd check to see if it fits.

    It's strange they didn't reply though, but shows they go out of their way to make you happy. Not a bad deal, for a $60 hand guard.
