The CMMG Barrel and Bolt Group Kit in .22LR is your shortcut to a dedicated rimfire upper without building from scratch. If you've got an AR platform lower sitting around and want to add a .22LR conversion upper, this kit gives you the two core components—barrel and bolt—that make it happen. It's a smart move for shooters who want to train affordably, shoot suppressed, or just keep lead downrange without emptying the wallet on centerfire ammo.
Built on 4140 chrome moly steel and finished with salt bath nitride inside and out, the 9-inch barrel is designed for reliability in a compact package. The 1:16 twist rate is optimized for .22LR, and the sporting chamber keeps things practical for standard rimfire ammo. The threaded 1/2-28 muzzle gives you options for suppressors, flash hiders, or other muzzle devices if you want to dress it up.
One thing to know upfront: CMMG recommends pairing this kit with a round-style hammer on your lower—notched hammers can cause reliability hiccups with rimfire. Also, 36-grain plated nose ammunition has proven most reliable in testing. Get those details right, and you've got a straightforward path to a functional .22LR upper that won't break the bank or your workflow.
