Im shopping for an AR 15-22 also. In my reasearch I have found those guns have a lot of feeding and accuracy issues. Price is good though. The S&W M&P AR15-22 have excellent reviews and also keep the controls the same as AR's. The H&K 416 -22 also has good reviews and if I remember correctly they are all metal. No plastic but you may double check that. Very accurate also. Both are $400.00 +. AR15.com has some good info.
