Big boys like their toys to go boom, not pop.  Unfortunately though, the ammo crunch of 2009 went right into 2010 and we haven&#8217;t entirely come out of it. In fact I don&#8217;t think we will ever see the price of .223\/5.56 ammo come down to where it was.  But even at 10 cents a round where you could still buy it back in 2007, regular practice gets expensive pretty fast.  To master basic muscle memory you really need to pull the trigger a lot, and without any recoil, muzzle flash and concussion, the .22 makes it easier to develop good shooting habits instead of bad ones.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nArmalite just introduced their new .22 caliber M-15 carbine and,  as .22 cal ARs go, this one would be for the shooter who takes their AR  and their proficiency with their AR seriously.  It isn&#8217;t a toy that looks and works kind of like your AR. This <b>is<\/b> your AR that has been re-engineered for the .22 caliber rimfire cartridge instead of the .223 Rem.\/5.56 Nato cartridge.  It has a correct .224 bore, not a .223 bore, so it should be more accurate than a standard AR with a conversion kit for 22LR ammunition.  This is a high quality gun for serious shooters.  It would be a lifetime purchase as a training rifle or learning rifle for your child.  And don&#8217;t forget, you can shoot all day for less than $20. Hopefully we&#8217;ll be able to do a full review of this gun in the near future. I bet it is a tack driver at 100 yards. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ArmaLite Inc. https:\/\/www.armalite.com\/ It is hard to break down and buy a .22 caliber AR rifle.
