Stumbled across a $140 .22lr conversion kit by CMMG available on Brownells.
I've checked out a few video reviews, and I think I might buy one very shortly. Anyone have one and can offer any words?
I do have one question I wasn't able to get an answer on in my research.
How is it possible to get the kind of accuracy people are getting, with this kit firing a .22lr bullet through a 1-in-7, 1-in-8 or 1-in-9 twist rate .223 barrel? My Savage .22lr is a 1-in-16, as is my buddy's Henry Golden Boy. So my 1-in-8 .223 barrel would be imparting literally twice the amount of spin on the bullet as my Savage MK II barrel, no? How is this not going to negatively affect accuracy in a big way?
I know..."Don't ask why, stupid! Just be glad it works!"
