And his new Umarex/H&K MP5 has run its first 1,500 rounds with nary a single problem of any kind. Right now I wish /I/ were the one shooting the Umarex rather than the S&W.

I hope this (my S&W 15-22 operation) will get better (I've made one more change/adjustment to my ejector, and if that fails will be sending the gun back to S&W).
Dude. The S&W 15-22 comes with a 1 year warranty & limited lifetime service warranty. IMO, you've done everything prudent to address the issue yourself. It's time to send it back to the S&W mothership, and get them to make it right. Let S&W address the issue.

If there is some overall manufacturing defect in your 15-22's upper, I'm sure S&W will replace it.

Regarding your friend's Umarex Colt M4. I am sincerely glad he lucked into a good one (so far knock on wood).
