So does anyone have any experience with the taccom ar 22 dedicated upper? I am in the process of building a light weight 22 ar and want to give this upper a go. So far I have a NFA lower with a PSA lpk. I remember a few months back seeing one of the barrels that went kaboom due to a squib load, but has anyone else used these uppers?

 

Thanks a lot

I've got one and love it.  I originally was using a target master kit in my AR upper.  The rounds were going all over the place at 25 yards.  I was annoyed that I could not get any groupings.  I was going to put up my target master for sale but my buddy told me about the Taccom stuff.

 

I figure I would bit the bullet and buy the barrel as I have a stripped upper.  I purchased it from Joe Bob's as they had the barrel in stock along with the reliability kit.  Tim, the owner at Taccom is great.  He walked me through some of the issues I had with installing the reliability kit into the Target Master.  Once assembled, I went to test it out.  I had some feeding issues and sent some pictures to Tim.  He said to send him the upper and he would fix it.  Once I got it back, the Taccom upper works great.  It groups very well at 25 yds.  No feeding issues.

 

The barrel is very thin on the ULW barrel but Taccom stands by their stuff.  If you have any issues, reach out to them.  You can also opt for the M4 contour barrel that looks thicker.  I think any barrel may go kaboom if there is another round already lodged in the barrel though.

Yea, I am not so much concerned with the kaboom. Any barrel with a squib load and a follow up shot is gonna not make out too good. But I just want to make sure that the people that own them are pleased with their performance/reliability etc.

I have one on order as well. Building up a dedicated 22 rig. Everything I read on arfcom says these things should be good to go. I've seen one go KABOOM from a squib load, but that's to be expected. The barrel shroud/tensioner should keep your hands safe.
