22 Adapter questions

[RED]

I met him at a machine gun shoot in Arkansas 20 years ago and bought a Atchisson/Ciener .22 conversion from him along with 3 - 30 rd mags. In the next couple of days I put 2 bricks of .22 LR through the unit installed in my H&R M-16A1. Mr. Ciener personally tuned each mag and the unit functioned (as long as it was clean) flawlessly on full auto. ZZZiiiippp! And 30 rds were down range. Soon there was a crowd gathered around my range position and they were all pretty darned impressed by it's performance.

I judged Mr. Ciener to be a 1st rate and up front guy. At another MG shoot my M-16 pulled the head off a .223 round and I couldn't get the front half of the case out of the chamber. JAC came by and spent several minutes working on the rifle and got me going again. He refused any compensation for the favor.

For the record, the only gripe I had about the unit was the fouling I mentioned above and I would recommend it as a more affordable substitute. Just my $.02.
