Cmmg Ar Mk 57 Conversion Kit 22Lr W/ 3 25-Rd Mags
The CMMG AR Mk57 Conversion Kit transforms your 5.7x28mm upper receiver into a practical .22 LR shooter—perfect for high-volume range days, training, or just enjoying cheap, easy-to-find ammunition. If you own a Mk57 upper and want a no-fuss way to swap calibers without breaking the bank, this drop-in conversion kit delivers exactly that: simple mechanics, minimal hassle, and a way to get trigger time without the sting in your wallet.
The conversion works by replacing your existing bolt-carrier group with CMMG's purpose-built .22 LR unit. Once swapped, your Mk57 upper mounts directly onto any mil-spec AR-15 lower receiver—no special adapters, no guesswork. The whole job takes minutes and requires zero tools, making it an ideal solution if you already have an AR platform lower on hand. Whether you're running a rifle you already own or building from scratch, this kit integrates seamlessly into standard AR-15 receivers.
The kit ships with three 25-round magazines designed to work across both mil-spec AR-15 and Mk4 magazine wells, giving you 75 rounds of capacity out of the box. That's plenty of rounds to establish a rhythm at the range or enjoy an extended plinking session. .22 LR ammunition is widely available and inexpensive, making follow-up shooting sessions budget-friendly—a real advantage when you're logging volume downrange.
