This guide details the straightforward process of installing a CMMG .22 conversion kit into a CMMG BR4 rifle. It involves removing the standard 5.56 bolt carrier group and charging handle, then inserting a specific adapter and the .22 conversion kit into the upper receiver. A crucial step for the BR4 lower is the installation of a provided spacer to properly seat the conversion kit, which differs from standard AR-15 lower receivers.

Quick Summary

To install a .22 conversion kit in a CMMG BR4, you'll need the kit, an upper receiver adapter, and a BR4-specific lower receiver spacer. The process involves removing the 5.56 bolt carrier group, inserting the adapter and kit into the upper, and placing the spacer into the lower before seating the conversion kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What parts are needed to run a .22 conversion kit in a CMMG BR4?

To run a .22 conversion kit in a CMMG BR4, you need the .22 conversion kit itself, a specific adapter for the upper receiver (included with CMMG 5.56 Descendants), and a unique spacer designed for the BR4 lower receiver.

Why does the CMMG BR4 need a special spacer for a .22 conversion kit?

The CMMG BR4 lower receiver requires a special spacer because it lacks the buffer tube assembly found on standard AR-15 lowers. This spacer fills the gap, ensuring the .22 conversion kit seats correctly and functions reliably.

How do I install the .22 conversion kit adapter into the CMMG BR4 upper receiver?

The .22 conversion kit adapter, marked with 'CMMG' and arrows pointing forward, is inserted into the upper receiver first, followed by the main .22 conversion kit itself.

What if I bought my CMMG BR4 before December 2024 and didn't get the conversion kit parts?

If you purchased a CMMG BR4 prior to December 2024 and did not receive the .22 conversion kit adapter and BR4 spacer, you should contact CMMG customer service. They will be able to send you the necessary parts.
