Is there such a thing as a 22 Creed upper for an AR10? Anyone have a line on a manufacturer?

Don't have experience, but these guys can make a barrel.

Looking at the bullet profile I do not think it would feed reliably in an AR platform.

Interesting. New to the platform. Could use the education. What's the issue?

If they make ARs in 243 WSSM, I'm sure this would feed just fine.

It looks like it has been done so it may not be an issue.

In short the distance from the end of the bullet to the shoulder is very long and the shoulder is very steep. This has been know to cause issues due to the angle the round enters the chamber. Some have reported issues with 180 grain .308 for the same reason. I have not had that issue. My gun loved 180s.

Some one smarter than I could give a better explanation but that is my understanding. If I was going to seek someone out on this board for those types of questions it would be Puryear Playboy.

I would think it could be done but the camber or the feed ramps may be different. I know the ramps are often modified on 7.62x39 uppers to make them feed reliably.

Disclaimer: These are just my thoughts and by no means expert opinion.

I am very interested in the round.

Well, that is cool. I had not seen that. It looks like an AR15 lower also. Thanks for the new worm hole....

No matter the feed ramps, I don't think 7.62x39 could feed reliably in any AR
