22-250 ar

at4rxj · 02-22-2006, 07:01 PM

Is the .22-250 too long to work as an upper? I found some upper kits in .204 ruger, but none yet in .22-250.

I'll admit, I haven't done extensive searching, but I looked quite a bit and had trouble finding stuff.

Thanks in advance...

22-250 is too long for the AR-15. It is chambered in some DSA FALs. Not sure if there is a company making AR-10s in it, but a custom place is rebarreling existing ones for that round.

22-250 basically requires an action designed for the 308 for length and strength.

AR-10 and SR 25 could support the cartridge why not just get a Garand and you solve the issue and get a bigger bullet to kill gophers with

AR-10s by Armalite are chambered in 243 Win as well as 308.

DPMS is chambering their AR10's for the .300 WSM. They also do the .308 and .243 chamberings.

I really want to see how the 7.62x39 round does in an AR. I know alot of places sells those kits.

Ok, so I looked at the .22-250 next to a .223 last night, and they're almost identical in length. It would seem to me that it would be able to work...

So is the ejection port absolutely maxed out with the .223?
