Modification of a Standard Upper to .22

Here are the first 8 images of this .22 conversion attempt from an unknown gunsmith. Take particular note of all the steel that has been removed by drilling and milling to lighten the toggle train for movement by a .22 caliber rimfire... It is assumed at this point that the addition of a properly chambered and headspaced barrel, and a standard .22 conversion magazine that this upper would function correctly... Someday I hope to find out. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
