I have some questions for all you gurus out there.
Been considering getting a 22 conversion kit for my AR. I'd like to be able to carry it for discreet closer range small game hunting if I am carrying my rifle and I don't want to have to carry a dedicated 22 upper or separate firearm to keep weight down.
1. My AR is 1:7 twist. How will that effect shooting 22?
2. Will different 22 ammo be better or worse? Specifically subsonic ammo? I'm ok with single shot if the bolt won't cycle with powderless 22 if that would be a concern.
3. Can I use a 556 suppressor with it? I know to have a suppressor I can take apart and clean to counteract lead build up.
4. What are some things, problems or concerns I haven't considered?
This isn't an area I'm well versed and greatly appreciate any edumacation you guys can throw my way so I can avoid spending "mistake money". I don't plan on putting a ton of rounds through it. Just an occasional squirrel, rabbit, or annoying amadillo.
