Saw a cmmg 16in bbl and 22lr rig for sale at Brownells. Kinda have wanted one for a bit so I pulled the trigger.
Thread protector Sherluk Defense
Charging handle Midway
PSA had blem upper receivers for 60 bucks
and a 15in handguard on sale at AR15discount.

I had a Leupold 1" mount and a 3x9 bushnell that has been gathering dust for I dont know how long. Likely to be replaced.

I sighted it in off hand in the driveway in snow, 9F and real bright sun. Its in the ball park at about 25 yds. I held about a 1.25 in group zinging a few in after I was close. I think it will be good, just wasnt going to dig out the range or hang out much longer.

.22 ARs are a blast. Good choice

Looks like fun

Now looking at cans..........

BTW, don't discount that scope yet. It is easy to change the parallax on those Bushnell's. Basically get a spanner wrench (or improvise, you have skills) and move the objective slotted lens carrier by screwing it in/out to focus on the distance you're most likely to be shooting just like you would an AO scope. The direction of travel shortening the parallax is anti-clockwise. I've adjusted a few to 50 yards for rimfire use and it's a great use for inexpensive scopes. There are YouTube videos on how to.

Convenient timing, as I just found a .22 LR AR Upper that I might have completely forgotten I had...

To late
Simmons 3x9 -32 rimfire scope. 77 at the World of Wal. As per some rimfire shooters I know, they are in the realm of Pretty Ok. Fixing the objective wouldnt replace the missing parts. Its a good scope to sit in the safe in case of need though.
