Awesome collection Door Kicker. There are so many great looking 15-22s. It was a real joy to look through the whole thread.
I really need to get a better pic. And my 15-22 isn't anything special compared to everyone.
I put a Aimpoint Pro on that I wasn't using. Just bought some Ergo rail covers. Have to say I'm not really a fan of quad rails.
Here's my Palmetto State Armory AR-15 that I semi assembled.
I bought a mid-length chf rifle kit and a stripped lower from them. I went with PSA because their local and wanted to support a local business. I went with all Magpul furniture. But I really want to get a Troy Alpha rail. The scope is a Burris MTAC 1-4X. The Grip Pod is nice but I hardly use it. So it's on the 15-22 right now.
thanks stimr2, that is the result of years and years worth of building AR15s.
The M4 on the left I actually carried in combat for 2 tours in Iraq. I had everything minus the lower receiver shipped over to me and then I assembled my own M4 includeing the stock. When it was time to come home, I simply put it all back together and turned it in and then shipped my stuff back. Assembled it on a custom lower and now I have the (As close as I can get) weapon I carried in combat.
The 15-22 is my Son's. Got it for Christmas. I typically prefer Mil Spec but went with the Magpul rail covers for him because he picked them out at the gun show. He also wants a laser real bad because he plays MW3 and I guess they have lasers?? I am thinking M6 light/laser combo maybe, I could swap him the one on my 9mm AR.
Thank you. I was really hoping to find one with the flash hider or atleast a threaded barrel but the only on i could find was a "real tree" version so i settled for this one.
Some people wanted to see my Saiga Predator AK-47 I just got with its paint scheme so I said I would post it. To keep it on topic I took the piccy with my beloved 15-22 and my AR-15. I call them my 3 Amigos :P
Decided to do some Mark-Deco work on my 15-22 with some Sharpie extra fine point paint pens.....and since this is nothing but a fun gun I used a little red.
Only did this, left everything else alone.....for now.
I bought the pens to number my AR15 magazines and then did my 1911 mags, my 22/45 LITE mags and the 15-22 mags too.....everything after doing those was just goofing around.
NDZ, the Magpul one will not fit the S&W without bending it.
The aluminum Charging Handle is also NDZ.
ANy problem with the lever, or did you clip the spring?
I bought the PT handle because I liked the lever better than the one on the NDZ. Wish I hadn't because the fit is loose and sloppy, IMHO. I may break down and get one from the guys at NDZ anyway.
I did have failures to lock the bolt back after the last round after installing the lever. I've since clipped 2 coils from the spring, just haven't been out to test it since then.
It will get tested at the next match (next Tuesday), and I will report back with the results.

I'm betting that you will have NO problems in that regard. It took clipping the spring to solve the problem with the new, lighter, lever for me. I then swapped it for the original and have had zero failures in about four dozen tries.
Just got this a week ago. Lost count of the rounds(more than 1500). Had only one technical failure(caused by mag). I really like this 22 AR. I haven't changed much to it, and actually like it the way it is. The accuracy is way better than I imagined it would be! Here it is pictured with my Sig Sauer 1911-22, and Kimber Custom II .45 with many mods. I enjoy all 3 VERY much
Got some more pics. Got it sighted and zeroed in a 50 yards.
I mounted both irons up front so that I could easily remove the scope when shooting with iron sights(I like shooting with iron sights every now and then). I like this M&P a lot!
My LGR let me go to town on the targets since no one else was there, and I started shooting targets as quickly as I could aim. From the target's point of view, I started shooting double taps from the center, then going to the left shoulder, then left abdomen, then right abdomen, right shoulder, followed by the head. I repeated till I ran out. From ~20 yards.
That's an rather short sight radius on the iron sights, especially with the rear sight so far from your eye. Have you actually tried shooting with that configuration?
i was going to say the same thing. kind of odd, never seen one with the BUIS in front, but who's to say it wouldn't work, just looks 'off'. personally i'd just take them off or get a shorter scope with a built in 7mm riser, get rid of that riser you have one it and put the BUIS back where they belong. it's your gun so have fun with it, but your BUIS is there in case the optic goes down, in this case you would have to remove the scope if the glass say broke, then you would have no sight picture at all. jus sayin....
I don't have any problems shooting it, if anything, sighting might be even easier since it becomes smaller the farther it is from your eye. You should try it, it's not bad at all. It's not like you're flopping around with the gun or something for the sights to mess up that drastically. I can shoot 1.5" targets 40' away with the Kimber, and this is just as easy.

Nice to see someone local to me. I bought my M&P15-22 at Hickory Ridge when they were first released. I'm thinking of going there this week to shoot. Let me know if your going this week and we can meet up.
Here is my 15-22 getting cozy with my Mossberg 500. The M&P has a forearm-grip, Panasonic red-dot, green laser, tac-light and the SBIS's on the right-side rail. I like to use 4-ball/1-tracer loadings in my mags just for the memories!

Got my new 15-22 Saturday! Only mods are a Maglight XL200 and ladder rail covers. Got to keep it simple for a while. The light gives a good view for a solid 150-200 yards.
Well first off, it fits better in the soft case like that. When I walk out at night I turn it on and leave it on, so I don't need to be able to quickly activate it. On the bottom the beam seems to fall right in the sights. But things may change.
Why is your light on the bottom? It would be more ergonomic to have it on the side rail. You can activate it with your thumb then.
From a CQB perspective, this is the instructed position - either top or bottom. The reason for this is that your light shines parallel to the barrel, while not reflecting off of things like door frames or corners that the barrel would naturally be close to during room clearing. Thumb button wasn't an issue as we used pressure switches.
With that said, mine is mounted on an offset mount in the 1:00 position off the side rail so I can activate the thumb button....
And if you're clearing rooms with a 15-22, you have a STRANGE hobby. (And possibly a short-lived hobby.)
Not really, that's pretty much IDPA 3-gun matches right there.
And I was always taught 10:30 ish mount for light. Directly below is ok, for some applications, but the shadow it throws means important things can be in darkness. But a thumb activated unit directly below is hard to use.
Sorry, but I'm not sure I understand what shadow would result from mounting a light under the barrel. A 150+ lumen light mounted to the side reflecting off a white doorframe will temporarily effect your vision in total darkness. Just saying that in my opinion, the 6:00 position creates the least amount of problems overall. You realize we've completely hijacked the Picture Thread...
