Your going the wrong direction, convert them to 300 BLK and designate them as exclusively for bear hunting.
Extra killy to bears only!
Under HER guidance 22LR makes it not an AW but only if originally manufactured that way.If you built an AR as a .22LR would that be legal under the current interpretation of the law?

Read the above link. Built new 22LR good. Converted from something to 22LR bad.
Basis in actual law? None.
But it's all BS anyway because the aftermarket stuff uses a standard multi-cal lower. Some of them have a special hammer, but that's it. Everything to make it run as a .22LR is in the upper. I have a dedicated .22LR "AR". I can slap another upper on it and run .556 through it.
S&W's 15-22 is a different animal; it's manufactured specifically to run .22 and you can't swap out parts to make it run .223/.556.
So in theory could mfg x, using a standard AR lower sell in MA provided it came from the factory with a dedicated .22lr upper 10 rd mags and no extra Killy evil features.
So, just recently came across this write up:
2A Armament rolls out AR 22LR Conversion Bolt Carrier
Seems should be decently quality since it's from Rainier Arms ?
Is it better to buy something like this or a MP15-22 for a hundred bucks more ?

So one can build an 80% lower as a .22lr without running afoul of the law, register it as such and be good to go?
