I ran across this today while browsing gunbroker:

What is the deal with the colt .22LR uppers? Are they that bad?

I think that really says it all...no reading between the lines required.

That is what I got from it too, but I was just curious if anyone has had any experience with them.

I have a CMI 22 LR bolt carrier for my M4 and it works great.

there is an extensive thread over on ARF. These things really are POS. Some run some dont. I handled one last time I was home and was not impressed.

They are flakey at best. Some are ok. More are not. They feel, eh, "cheesy" for lack of a better term. Not very good quality at all. Not that colt cares, they are just paid for their name being on the side of every gun. They do nothing with making, importing, warranty, etc with the weapons.
