Thanks for the replies everyone. I don't own one yet, the question was for down the road long term thinking as budgets are tight and I will only allow myself one weapon like this.

Being ex-Air Force and a Security Specialist that's all we carried was the M-16's and larger weapons; 203 grenade launchers, M-60 machine guns, etc.. Was just wanting to make sure the 15-22 is all its been advertised as being, that is a nice 22lr shooter in an AR platform that functions entirely like an AR vs. some of the other ones we all know exist out there. Durability was the one worry I had due to the polymer but I believe I mistook the "plastic" where it's really polymer. Your replies have helped reassure me to that end.

Saving my pennies for a 15-22 as we speak. :-)

Another question you guys and gals can help me with is Accuracy of these. Obviously the 22lr won't go out to the ranges we were used to with the 223 cartridges with our M16's, but are you all happy with your groups at say 100yards?

Thanks again in advance!
