Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Bear Creek upper in 22 WMR?

Rattle-canned the works today, now that I have faith it won't need to be sent back.

Any updates?

Still working smooth?

I have been busy putting up firewood the last couple weeks, so my play time has been infringed upon....(grin).

I'm going to do some longer range accuracy testing with the CCI ammo though. Maybe I'll try to get a vid.

I saw a recent vid by Drew on Beyond Seclusion. He put his through its paces with a variety of ammo. Only trouble he had was with a aftermarket trigger giving light strikes, and forgetting to swap spring/buffer on one of his lowers.

I will check it out.

I've a few. Hint.............

Are you leaving it at 20", or showing it the sawzall?

20" is a very nice place to be,with said chambering. Hint...............

I had a 20" Winchester 9422M back in my teenage years. I liked it.

I went into this wanting a 20", but only the 16" was in stock when I ordered. I'm happy with it though. It gives up a little velocity, but not enough to really matter for taking care of yard pests.....skunks, coons, porcupines, coyotes, badgers, fox, etc where the shots are not terribly far anyways.

I have one in 22LR. Loves mini mags.

Any updates on function etc??

Nothing new to share here. I have gotten busy with some other stuff, and haven't been shooting the 22WMR.

👍🏻

Didn't realize there was already a thread in the AR section on these. Buddy of mine picked one up , I was skeptical 22mag in a semi and all. Anyway his is very accurate and reliable so I had to have one. Bca 16" upper on a Psa lower. Qms trigger that was smoothed up a bit , leftover set of rings and a Burris FF2 3-9. Taking it to the range later

Shot mine today. Gotta say I'm impressed. No failures in 80 rounds or so. Well under an inch at 75 yards ( farthest I shot on paper. ) Shot 4 different loads very well. Seemed to like the CCI and Winchester 40 grain hollow points the best.

Good to hear! Seems like a trend.

I went 20",to reap S/S and mine is SURPRISINGLY good,even with a 30mm Reupold 3.5-10x 50mm Teutonic #4 Lit Bitch. Shoots well inside an inch at 100yds. Hint.








Just sayin'................

Nice!

Balances WAYYYYY better than an initial guesstimate,but I didn't factor The Loudener,as being THAT fhuqking heavy. Rather nice parcel now. Hint.

No feed/function issues,but I only whistled 100rds through it. Gunning the OEM supplied buffer/spring. Thus far,I've only shot 30gr V-Max and will stay that course,as I like the flight pattern and Terminal Effects. I keep reaching for the charging handle,that isn't there however. Hint.(grin)

My expectations were easily Low-ish(at most),but this fhuqking thing RUNS and the Accuracy/Precision is very fhuqking surprising. I've been rolling my Garrow 17 Hummers,for Winterly Cast & Blast Fur Guns,but this bitch is gonna make the cut and I NEVER saw that fhuqking coming! Hint.

Will likely go Warne X-SKEL and Illuminatti,as the Reupold Laughs are already old,not even 24hrs into the build.(grin) I'm thinking that'll allow the TLR-8 to come home and rest above the chamber,or better yet,receiver proper. Hint.

Any/all on the fence...get 'em while you can. Hint................

A RAR 22 WMR will outshoot that any day
