Tech-Sights or .22lr AR conversion

[Request Dust Off]

Anyone here have a .22lr conversion for the AR.
I've heard mixed reviews.

It is either that or tech-sights for the 10/22 ruger (TSR200)

They also make them for the SKS (TS100 & TS200)

The techsights would be cheaper and less prone to failure. I've seen good reviews on their products.

I have a 22lr conversion and i love it, 22 is really fun to go out and just burn some ammo

I want to shoot .22lr for price.
I want to practice with the ghost ring sights like the Garand, Carbine, M14 & AR. A 22lr converion puts me on the AR ergonimcs but may have more problems, cost being one possibly.
I have another .22 that I'll probably scope as it has the least favorite iron sights for me. I like shooting irons sights. The 10/22 I have isn't mine so I'll end up having to get the 10/22 at some point. The techsights would be straight forward.

IconicDog,
What one do you have? Any problems? Where to get it? I'm all ears if you want to elaborate.
Thanks,

Mine is a Ciener kit, i got it from http://www.ballisticsounds.com/
they also sell the black dog machine mags which are great. The only thing that i did was take a dremel and buff the action of the 22 kit so that the moving parts were all smooth. Other than that its all about the ammo, mine likes the CCI Mini-Mags but, every rifle won't be the same, just make sure you get good mags, like i said BDM makes a real good mag that a bunch of the .22 kit shooters sware by. Hope this helps, it made me into a believer.

IonicDog,
Thanks for the info. Ammo seems to be a sore spot for .22 across the board. I don't remember the failure to feed, fire or anything else in the old days like I see now. I ran across a lot of bad reports on the ceiner, which are probably myths. Some of the complaints are speculative, the poster doesn't own one & is guess at what might happen.
I'm going to try the techsights first. Among the factors are what is in & out of stock.
I'll probably do the Ceiner kit later.
Thanks,
RDO

I'll need an explanation on that. I'm not text message savvy if that applies.

oknigi - OK now I get it - I see how it works
I don't alway remember TLAs or abbreviations so texting would kill me.

I'm probably going to do a .22LR AR down the road.
I was making out the christmas list & thought The conversion may be better than a techsight. The main purpose is to practice that sight not the platform. Plus I like to know what I'm getting into on somethings. For an AR training gun it seems like it would be pretty cool.
