My only experience with the .22 conversion was in basic training at Lackland AFB in 1984.
My weapon jammed 8 times during the 40 round qualification.
Needless to say, I don't recommend this.

My only experience with the .22 conversion was in basic training at Lackland AFB in 1984.

I went through Lackand in 1977 and at that time we were still shooting 5.56 NATO.

By 1980, however, annual re-qualification was with .22LR conversions at miniature targets at 25 yds, supposed to be a simulation of a full size silhouette at 100 yds.

I never had a malfunction, but the instructors said the kits didn't last very long.
