[QUOTE=welldoya;136161246]I was in my local WalMart yesterday and they had an M&P 15-22 in the case. Price was $397 which, from what I can see, is a really good price. I know Academy's price is $429 (and they are usually out of them) and there's a LGS that wants $479.
I started to go ahead and get a couple (Christmas presents) but decided I better do a little research first.
What is the deal with the threaded barrels ? I've read that some have them and some don't. Are these different models or just older and newer versions of the same model ?
In my research, I read one thread that said the WalMart version is a non-threaded barrel and comes with a 10 round mag. Others say that theirs came with a 25 round mag.
I just want to make sure that I really am getting a good deal and not just buying a cheaper version of the gun.
Any input on the WalMart M&P 15-22 ? Thanks....... IF I WERE YOU I WOULD JUMP ON THAT SALE CUZ I GOT MINES FROM WALMART TOO AND MAN I LOVE IT. U WON'T BE MAD AT ALL
