come on, less face it, they knew full well that when we all bought these we would modify & upgrade them, thats why it was made to take all mil spec parts..!!
if enough of us got together we could lobby S & W.. and try our luck...
I feel that they are missing a turn here.. I am not saying they should sell them complete in metal, but as a upgrade... hell yeah !! any gun smith would be able to swap out all the parts from one to the other in no time...

any way... just my idea ..

cheers
Let me start by saying that I'm not trying to be a debbie downer. That said, it wont happen. they built this rifle as a light weight low cost trainer/plinker. they didn't build it to compete in rimfire benchrest competitions. they didn't intend for it to shoot sub moa groups, more like sub grape fruit. the 15-22 without upgrades is good enough to use in tactical rimfire shoots, and if the right parts were available for enough money you could make it sub-moa. but it would be a lot cheaper to buy a ruger a remington and modify it. I ride a 2000 yamaha roadstar, she's a slow but torque-y pig. I could spend the money on a bigger pulley or a magna charger but I'd still only have a real fast pig
