CMMG 5.5" .22 TEST Upper

[shadow65]

Got the test upper today.http://www.ar15.com/images/smilies/icon_smile_big.gif
I slapped a suppressor on it and loaded four 25 round mags. I was shooting in my basement so it isn't sighted in yet. Strickly a function test.
100 rounds fired as fast as I could pull the trigger. ZERO fasilures! I am stoked!

Here is the upper as received:

CMMG 5,5" .22 upper
Midwest Industries T-Series 7" Free Float
Midwest Industries Low Profile folding BUIS front and rear
Primary Arms Reflex Green Dot
TAC65 Suppressor with a .215 spacer

The sights and Reflex work great together. With the sights folded, I can clearly see the dot optic.
With the sights deployed, I can easily see the irons. They are above the optic when deployed. Perfect for this build.

I wanted a nice build that looked good, function well, was lite weight, and didn't break the bank.
This fills that very nicely.
Weighs in at 5.8 lbs. with the suppressor, unloaded.

I will be following up with a range report.

It is an absolute blast to shoot.
When these become available there will be several options from just a barrel to build your own to complete uppers, to uppers minus a bolt for those that already have one.
When we planned these the top priority was to build a short barrelled upper that would run without any tweaking or modifications buy the user. And use an existing CMMG bolt group. So if you already have one, you don't have to buy another bolt group.

So how long do we have to wait before they become available?

I'm hoping by the end of the month. Field testing isn't going to take long because it doesn't appear there will be any adjustments needed.
They have a few barrels. Just not ready to release yet. It will be very soon.
I kind of pushed these. CMMG already had a couple projects going on.
