r/ar22

Does anyone have a good handle on real world FPS speeds of 22lr ammo (vs what it claims on the box), ideally from a 12 inch barrel?

I'm trying to find a small sweet spot just below subsonic out of my dedicated AR22 12 inch barrel, but enough kick to cycle my action with minimal chance for malfunction even when dirty.

So far I know that RWS high velocity 40gr HP (1250fps) is below the sound barrier, and unfortunately CCI AR tactical 40gr (1200) is above. Does anyone have any recommendations?

hey all, I picked up the borebuddy weight and sear trip kit a while back and have been running it with a super saftey. I am running a 4in barrel on a cmmg conversion kit (dedicated 22 barrel).

last time out the bolt jammed all the way to the rear - it wedged the weight carrier further back than its supposed to be able to go.

I had been running the weight kit empty to keep weight down due to the short barrel. im adding weights for the next trip put to the range, but the question is will more weight keep it from cycling all the way back or will it still bottom out, it'll just slam home faster?
