Hi Ben,

Here in The Netherlands the M&P 15-22 is getting more populair then ever, since high quality AR-15 .223 rounds are hard to get. We have only cheap Russian Bernaul and Wolff ammunition over here, which requires more cleaning after shooting and it has steel brass. Reloading is also very populair here as well.

What's the story about no flash hider and 10 rounds capacity magazines? Why is it illegal? Here in The Netherlands it's prohibited to have full auto weapons, but there's no limit in magazine capacity. We are allowed to have 5 firearms in all calibers, except .50 on our permit; and with a maximum of 10.000 rounds of ammunition in stock (in your house) which need to be stored seperate from our firearms.

At the moment, the telescoping stock is illegal as well, the local gun shop will glue it at you desired position with strong (automotive) glue. But there are stories, that the telescoping stock will be legal maybe this year.

Cheers Edwin
