LE901-16S Conversion Kit - Rifle Accessories SP99415 : Colt's Manufacturing Company LLC

At least their showing the kit as being for sale....of course they are "out of stock"

Why? Makes Zero sense.

If I want a 5.56 rifle, I buy a 5.56 rifle

If I want a 7.62 Rifle, I buy a 7.62 Rifle.

I would rather have 2 functioning guns than 1.5.

+1 Buy rifles not parts of another rifle. While your at it buy optics too.

I'd rather start buying parts to what would eventually be something awesome like I've done with all my rifles the last several years. I wish I would have learned that lesson a long long time ago. That $300 would be a good start on a badass 5.56 AR. A high end barrel or high end upper or lower, down payment on a good scope, trigger... If you just want a small framed AR to shoot a lot and not be fancy then that $300 has you almost halfway to a beater AR. If you ask me, which I guess you didn't... They did you a favor not having it in stock. Put money into being able to shoot 5.56 in a heavy 308 platform? Don't do it.

Ho lee Phuc $300 for a block that they "pranced" around all the gun shows stating would ship with the rifles?!! You could buy a complete lower for that much coin.

I was just thinking about something like this the other day. The only reason I can see to put a 5.56 upper on a 308 lower is to run hand loads beyond "mag length" for a 5.56/223. Of course, you would also need a custom mag to accommodate the longer rounds. At $300, a mag well block to run a 223 lower with a standard magazine is pretty far fetched. Like was said above, you could buy a complete lower for that much.
