Long Distance is BETTER than being there
I think I'll go with a JP kit to get their dedicated 22lr barrel, and put on a magpul fixed stock. By my guess the rifle length will be about 34" +/-
I'm trying to get it as short as legally possible but can't find any barrels offered by JP shorter than the 18" offered in the 22lr kit.
Anyone know of alternatives, or am I getting a gunsmith to trim the length of the barrel?
Is ATRS planning on offering or suggesting products to build a dedicated 22lr with the MS?

TNA sell dedicated .22LR uppers that you could strip and move all the parts over.
Thank you for starting this thread. I own a CMMG kit and found it to be "ok" with my generic AR, but not as smooth as the SU-22 in my collection, which uses very similar magazines.
Since I have 3 uppers coming, I think I will have a 22 setup built. Looking forward to the options to be offered.
The interpretation by the SFSS guys regarding short barrels in 22 LR on our MV and MS.
We tried.
Good afternoon Rick,
Your question has been referred to me. I understand the specific question to be the classification of a rifle with a 22 Long Rifle (rimfire) barrel mounted on the receiver of a semiautomatic centre fire rifle (the Modern Sporter), temporarily replacing the centre fire barrel. You also mention that the overall length will never be less than 660 mm (26 inches) on folding of telescoping stock models.
Given the above, the provisions which render a rifle a restricted firearm via a folding or telescoping stock, would not apply.
Thus the determining factor, and the precise point of your question, would be whether the 470 mm barrel length provision applies. In this case, I believe it does.
The description of the firearm clearly establishes that it is not a prohibited firearm, but also establishes the underlying firearm is capable of discharging centrefire ammunition in a semiautomatic manner, even though that is not what is intended when the 22LR barrel is installed.
The remaining factor is the length of the barrel, which would result in a restricted firearm classification if the barrel length were less than 470 mm; and with a longer barrel, non-restricted.
So if a non-restricted outcome is desired, the barrel length of the 22LR barrel must be over 470 mm (18.5 inches).
