My vote is M&P and I'll spend the other $300 on my fiancee... or ammo, or both...
I noticed that too.

"ArmaLite's M-15/22 is NO plastic peashooter. It's made from aircraft grade aluminum forgings top and bottom!"

They must be paying their marketing guy a lot. lol.

The Armalite a full fledged standard AR forged lower mated to a .22lr upper. You can take that lower and slap on a 5.56 upper, magazine & it will work.

I can do the same thing my mating a CMMG .22lr dedicated upper to my M&P 15-Sport lower. The advantage of such a system is that it replicates the weight of a major caliber AR during practice.

It's not better or worse than a 15-22, just a different option.
