I wonder why?

Overall I am impressed with how S&W and even your firearms dealer handled the problem. I remember you saying S&W gave you an extra magazine for your inconveniences, even your firearm dealer gave you some freebie ammo right? Somewhere in these forums I even heard some component (I believe it was the extractor) disintegrated and fell out of the gun. Some said it could be that S&W got some bad metal, but some were concerned that the failures could be caused by a design flaw. Hopefully not the latter since that would probably take a great deal of time to resolve.
O yes, i was VERY eager to get my new gun back!!!!! Took about a month to get it back, thats including week transit time back and fourth. They gave me a extra magazine also. Gun has been great since its it return, i just had nothing but jamming issues when i first got it. Had it 4 days before sending it back. And Yes, the Manager at Academy, where i got my 15-22, was pretty aweosme through the whole ordeal. When i picked up my 15-22 he have me 2 100rd boxes of Winchester SuperX .22lr ammo, and a hard plastic case for it, ammo was about 13, and case was worth 20. So it worked out well, and im very happy. Love to shot this gun. I put a new scope on it week or so ago, and its even better.

Like TxShooters story I read yours also. Again I have to say S&W has handled themselves very well with these failures. I am now confident that if I get a lemon it will be repaired and returned to me at no cost, but like TxShooter I would be hanging on the edge of my seat waiting to get my rifle back. Everyone seems to have lots of fun shooting this rifle. So how has your 15-22 treated you since you got it back? Oh thanks for the correction, I was aware that this rifle uses a magazine but I was typing fast and made a bit of an error. Corrected now.
Narry a problem the one time I have had it out.
Got my repaired M&P 15-22 back from S&W

Federal 550 Bulk at Walmart runs ~$15.50 box in my area. Federal 100 box .223 runs ~$40.00. .03 per .22 vs. .40 per 223

Those new Camaro's are sweet. Saving for an SS?

Here is what I would like to have

Wow the extractor was just missing!

The .22LR ammo is cheap, I think I will be spending a lot of time at our local shooting range.

Well, the extractor was there when I started shooting, it just got somehow separated from the bolt with all the stovepipes (FTE) I was having at the time.

Yeah but still ouch.

I guess the failure was partially due to bad ammo?

Oh yeah fell in love with it when I saw the concept in 2006. Right now I am saving every penny so I can make a down payment in Summer 2010 on a Camaro SS2 in Rally Yellow with Black Rally Stripes. This is the only thing I am buying myself until then, I figure with Birthday and Christmas money I am getting this rifle for free.

Ammo was ok. Just wasn't ejecting as it was supposed to do. The empty casings were getting jammed up in the bolt. I think one of the casings hit the extractor and broke it or knocked it out of the bolt.

Default couple jams

Hey all, I'm a newbie and I just picked up my MP 15-22 a week ago. I'm a bit worried that I've run into the same jamming problems that I've been reading about. I haven't been having jams with the spent casings though, my jams have been happening where the next round will feed pointed straight up and the casing will be stuck in the mag. The round gets bent and looks pretty dangerous. This has only happened a few times out of 250 shots so far. I cleared the jam, tossed the bad round and got through 20 or so more shots before it happened again. I'm using a box of 500 federal ammo.

I cleaned and examined everything and nothing is broken that I can tell. We will see how the next 250 shots go tomorrow at the range. I'll have to take a picture if another round gets caught in the mag, hopefully it won't happen again. If I do have more problems, I'm glad S&W has been taking care of their customers! I'm happy with my purchase so far, had great fun with the 245~ rounds that shot just fine.
