So we bought him the 10/22 RIFLE version. Stainless/ walnut - a full length rifle they made for a time. He said it' s the best birthday present ever....
KoNow he' s a fan.
you know you can get a 10/22 drop in bolt for the ar-15 after that all you need is the special clip and you are firing 10/22 out of your ar-15. well pop the pins drop the bolt and put in the 10/22 bolt and then the clip, but you get the idea.
Yup. They also make a similar setup for 1911s - preplacing the upper and magazine.
I never been a fan of such things. They really took a hit on these units when 22 LR became all but unavailable.
Is kinda neat though. The multiple caliber thing is quite popular in countries where they limit ownership - or bringing firearms into the country - like South Africa. A guy brings in two rifles - and parts for 6 different calibers. Then he' s ready for everything from porcupine to rhino..
