I'm sitting on something, ahem, expendable income and am trying to figure out a way of passing the time until my RPAL comes in the mail. I keep eyeing AR15s, even going to far as to gawk at what our south-of-the-border cousins get to bring to range (see ar15.com), and I find myself returning to the same question. How much does using a 5-rounder as opposed to a 30-rounder affect the enjoyability of the firearm? Is there anyway around it (other than converting to .22)? It really is the only thing holding me back from seriously considering investing in a black rifle. Thanks much.

Yup, and the upshot is, you'll be able to take those 30-rounders off of the American zombies...survivors....whatever...
uhh, we've had 10 round mags for AR15s for close to a year now. Check out questar.
there's tons of threads if you search like this one:

This is something I did not know, so any links to this AR-15 pistol? What is it, a really short AR-15?
Newbie question I know, but I still don't know the answer

The important thing is, them mags work in an AR15 real nice like.
As stupid as it is, these new 10 round mags have actually inspired me to look for an M4.
Really? They've inspired me to get a .22LR upper with full mags.
Well if you want to shoot something other than .22lr, 10 rounds of .223 sounds A LOT better than 5. At least you can have a little fun with 10 rounds, and be legal.
How much are .22lr uppers and where do you get the mags? Because that would be a nice change from my 10/22 lol
Also, what is the cap of the .22 mags?
No magazine restrictions on rim-fire rifle or pistol magazines.
And yes the AR-15 Pistol magazines make buying a AR-15 or STANAG compatible rifle more interesting for me as well.

Double check you facts...
Rimfire pistol magazines are still limited to 10 rounds... Rimfire rifle magazines have no capacity limit.

there are two different system they make the mags for. the M261 (Oly Arms) and the ciener kit.
two different mags for two different systems. don't interchange.

So how do you convert your AR15 to .22lr??
Do you just put in a .22lr upper and then your set? So in theory if you have 2 uppers you can switch them back and forth (as long as they are both registered for that gun)... or would that still be illegal?

AR-15 uppers are not registered, the lower receiver is concidered the firearm as it has the serial number on it.
You don't even really need a new upper, your 1/7 or 1/9 will work fine. All you need is throw the .22 BCG in and the magazine and your good to go. However you will get some leading in your barrel and it might not be that accurate past 25 yards, which is why some people have a dedicated 22LR upper or a 1/12 twist barrel which works great with 22LR.
