Did you buy the gun FROM the gun show, or AT the gun show? Most likely you bought it AT the gun show from someone who rented space from the gun show organizer.

My advice would be to contact the seller, and by the seller I do not mean the organizer of the gun show, I mean the person or business that you gave money to in exchange for the firearm. Hopefully they can provide you with a receipt. You feel that the gun was new, but it is possible that the gun in fact was not new, and this promotion only applies to new guns with a receipt.

There are people out there that buy new guns at the retail level, but with a deep discount due to volume or a personal relationship with a retailer. These people then sell the guns "As New", or "Like New In Box" to private individuals. These guns may have the box, and everything that should be in the box when new, but these guns are technically considered USED guns. In all likelihood these guns have never been fired since leaving the factory. Manufacturers would still consider these to be USED guns. I have no idea if this is the situation that you find yourself in or not. This would be between you and the seller.

When you bought it did you need to fill out a 4473 form? If you did the sale was probably from a dealer that holds a Federal Firearms License. If you did not the deal would be considered a face to face deal between two private parties. It may not have been important at the time of sale to you, but it is important to Smith & Wesson.

I hope that you can get a receipt and eventually the free ammo. I intend to go shoot mine up tomorrow!

Best of luck, and keep us posted.

I submitted my rebate online on 03/05 and received it yesterday, the 17th. The date on the package says it was shipped on 03/13. So about a week to get shipped out. For those of you who have been waiting for weeks or months, I would contact them and look into it. It's apparent they aren't behind on getting them out, unless I just got lucky.

In February I shot 300 rounds of Winchester Super X with 3 failures to fire, and 1 pierced primer. The weather was finally good enough to go to the outdoor range today. I shot up the entire box of 300 of these CCI AR Tactical. 100% reliable, and reasonably clean. So far the gun is 100% and the free ammo was 100%. Kudos to Smith & Wesson, I am extremely pleased with this gun.

I have some vision issues that unless repaired with surgery prevent me from ever being completely accurate, but the gun with this ammo was giving me 1" groups at 25 yards using the MBUS sights. If I had better vision The gun is probably able to do better.

I'm pretty sure it was a FFL who I bought the gun from. They had a table set up and business cards and all. What is a "new"? I'm sure mine was infired and unregistered previously. Yes I filled out the 4473 form and the guy made a phone call to verify my ability to possess and own a firearm per federal regulations. I guess I'll give them a call and see how it goes

I bought a gun and the receipt had the serial number wrong. I discovered it a couple of days later. When I went back to the shop to get it straightened out they just looked back in their records at the 4473 and verified the serial number on the form with the weapon and printed a corrected receipt. I had been careful on the 4473, the box, and the firearm, but the last piece of paper, the receipt, was the one I did not crosscheck, and bingo. It was an easy fix, but it could make a difference if I ever need warranty work and the manufacturer wants a copy of the sales receipt.

If you have a business card and remember the date you bought it the 4473 should be able to confirm things for the shop. You might need to take the gun with you so they can verify everything.

Enjoy your new gun, and when you get it, enjoy your new free ammunition.

Got mine yesterday 👍

Interesting, mine did not have the promotional wrap, guess it just depends on the lot they pull from and where shipped from...

Submitted coupon on March 5th, FedEx delivered today March 19, exactly 2 weeks! Thanks S&W!

I still haven't received mine, so I called today and the guy was rude. I said I had mailed mine in a while ago. he said 6-8 weeks to process. I told him I had read that a lot have got theirs in 2 weeks I was told that is completely wrong and not sure where i was told that. I asked could you at least verify you have my info. and it was like I asked for something difficult, he then came back and said yeah we got it on Feb. 21 so yes expect it in 6-8 weeks thanks have a good night and that was it!

To be fair, it hasn't been 6-8 weeks since they received the rebate info from you, so what did you expect? I'm sure they're tired of people calling in. The terms and conditions are VERY clear. 6-8 weeks. Period. What you read on the Internet after that is pretty much irrelevant.

Just because some people got theirs in a "few weeks" doesn't automatically mean you will, so just be patient and you'll get yours. Breathe... It's just 300 rounds. I can't wait till .22 prices go back to normal. Heck, just a couple of years ago I was buying CCI Blazer at $13 for a brick of 550. So 300 rounds is peanuts in terms of value. When this madness dies down you'll wonder why you even worried about 300 rounds of essentially "worthless" .22!

Trust me I totally get that I am in customer service. I wasn't really looking for it, more of just wanting to verify they got my info. because some also said theirs had gotten lost. You said about it getting back to a regular price!!! I just wish I could get them, looking for 22lr is like finding dinosaur bones hard as hell.

I sent mine in January 17th,and have not reieved yet

i would contact them. i bet they didnt get your application

I bought my gun about a month ago and sent it in that night. got the ammo with in 2 weeks

Came home from work and there it was nice little box of 300 rds.

Wow...
Still haven't gotten mine and I mailed in when the offer started!
Any suggestions? Would nagging the gun shop where I purchased work?
Any one out there still waiting?

Submitted coupon on Jan 27, FedEx delivered today April 3rd. Sent coupon by US Mail.

Mailed my coupon in on Feb. 9th, received my ammo yesterday.

The LGS has nothing to do with it, do not bug them.

I uploaded my receipt and application this afternoon. Curious if anyone else who uploaded via computer received any sort of email confirmation. It did tell me it was submitted after I hit send but didn't know if any sort of affirmation arrived via email.

Mailed out my application on 3/4/14 and received my nice little box yesterday 4/3/14. Well done, and thanks S&W!

I called S&W yesterday to confirm that they got my mailed in rebate for and the story I got was that it takes 6-8 weeks for your name to get into the system...that was weather you mail in your rebate or register on line. I guess this is their way of under promising and over delivering . I'll probably get mine any day now...knock on wood.

Mine arrived this morning! It's got someone else's name, and MY address on the package, but the cover letter (Email) they had previously sent explained this.

I mailed my coupon on Mar 3 and received my ammo last Friday Apr 4. Wrong name on the package just like the e-mail stated it would be.

I have a question about the free ammo promo. New member here (first post), and new shooter. Just got into guns last year. Anyhoo, I bought an M&P 15-22 last week. Actually I put it on layaway with the intent to pay it off in 60 days. But the free ammo makes me think I should pay it off before the promo ends. My question is, what's the value of 300 rounds of ammo, give or take? If I don't take advantage of the promo, am I throwing away $25? $50? $100? Being new to all this, I just don't know. Thanks.

Mike

So it would seem that us poor UK shooters who purchase the rifle after lots of paperwork and super inflated prices, yet again miss out on something.

No freebies this side of the pond that I have heard of. :-(.

Though it is no less than could be expected I guess with our super tough rules and regs for rifle ownership.

Rob

Value of the promotion depends on if you are able to find .22lr ammo in your area or not. I have not seen this ammo consistently available online with the retailers I buy from. I also have not seen it available in most stores. I have seen it available at one store, and the price was $99.98 for 300 rounds. The normal retail price shouldn't be over $.07 per round or so. $.10 would be considered expensive for this ammo to me.

$30 min value, but that is if you can find it, ammo is getting more available but it is still hard to find, that same $30 "retail" in ammo easily sells for $50+ online.

Glad I found this thread. I had no idea about the promotion. But that makes the purchase even sweeter.

I am picking my 15-22 up tomarrow. Living in the restricted state of CT. I have to mail in the form and it will be sent to my FFL to pickup. Thats if they still have any left to send.

New member, my first post, bought my 15/22 first of Feb, mailed in for the ammo and received it 4/2/14 and received the letter on 4/3/14, but my info was all correct. Free ammo is always good. I bought the APG camo cause I had a Nikon 3x9 APG on the shelf. Used a M-223 mount, installed a Plinkster ambi charging handle. Really like the gun, just haven't got to shoot it as much as I'd like yet. Good luck to you all with yours.

Mailed mine nearly 2 months ago. I'm going to call them just to make sure they received mine. Didn't do it digitally because I heard of issues. March 9th is when I mailed mine.

I filled out my form online last week and did not get so much as an email confirmation that they had received my order. Were they not giving confirmation emails?

Rob

Teddydog, they do not to my knowledge send confirmation emails. I called them and they did get mine. It takes a month of Sundays from what I understand.

Gerry

Furthermore if you try to use the rebate status link it shows no record. You're probably better off trying CS for any updates.

Bought my 15-22 six weeks ago. Entered the rebate program using the online service. Called the rebate company yesterday and was told that because I used the on-line entry they could not see it. Said I needed to go to S&W for confirmation. S&W said that they could not confirm, but that it takes 8-10 weeks for them to even be able to see and confirm the entry sometimes. I figure if it comes....it comes. Not going to hold my breath. My 22lrs are not so hard to get anymore, but I would sure appreciate the free stuff. Love the rifle.

They say it is on the way. Three months here. Feb, 22.

Been about six weeks for me now...nothing.

8 Weeks for me, mailed mine in. Going to give them a call and see what they say.

I think im coming up on 6 weeks of waiting.

Called them today.

I shipped mine around the 9th of March. They received it on the 21st.

They told me 8-10 week arrival.

Who knows how this process works, lol.

Just so long as I get 300 rounds of ammo for my purchase I'll be happy

To the folks who have already received their ammo.......did the delivery service just drop it off, or did it require a signature?

damn this thread just pissed me off......I purchased mine in the time frame but didn't see the form till just now, since I bought my 15-22 due to never finding 22lr I have only gotten 100 rounds threw her and am now sitting with no ammo and a useless firearm......is it too late? did I miss out yet again?

You have until May 12 I think.......

https://www.smith-wesson.com/wcsstor...n_Consumer.pdf

Been nine weeks now...nothing. anyone have any suggestions on how to kick mine loose from S&W?

Mailed in mine on 04/22/14...as I bought another 15-22..

forgot all about it until I re-read this thread.

So I'm coming up on week 5/6 I know its hard but just mark it on the calendar when 9 weeks is up I'll call them,

Try and forget about it until then...worked for my NFA form 1 and that took 11 1/2 months....
