Anyone used the 10/22 17HM2 Conversion kits?

I'm thinking of getting a 10/22 then the 17hm2 barrel for it. But I've read that you need to get a heavier receiver as well. The only one I've seen is from Magnum Research with a Barrel and that is crazy money. Anyone else found any other options? I'm looking at a Green Mountain Barrel.

Okay,

I've done more research. I guess Green Mountain won't produce a barrel for this. I guess you need to do something to the bolt/action to make it heavier since the Mach 2's hit harder/faster. I guess Volquartson and Eabco both make kits. Eabco's seems nice as it is $159.99 with a Barrel and the bolt....Where as the Volq one is $310....Also Magnum Research has one that is $320
