M&P 15-22 Results, Post 'em here. I got Mine!!

hey all, i just happened to find about this gun in one of my magazines the other day, so i went to the local Academy Sports & Outdoors tdoay, didnt think they would actaully have one in stock...but they did, gave me the price of 449, and i was like wow, then he got one out of the box for me, and i fell in love...and couldnt give it back, and had to buy it, hehe, ive always wanted an AR15 type gun,and this one felt just right holding it, i'll be shooting it soon. Where do you guys get your gear for it, straps, sights, lasers, etc. Thanks.
 
Welcome TxShooter. The answer probably depends where in TX you are located. Any light, laser, or optic that can mount on a 1913 Picatinny rail can mount on this one, hence any gun shops that sell parts for ARs or tactical rifles should have the kind of things you are looking for.

Local gun shows (particularly Saxet) are you best bet for widest range of choices. At those shows look for the tables of GDS Enterprises. They have lots of choices, among many others. The butt-stock (Mil-spec, not commercial) pistol grip, and even trigger group are all interchangeable with the M&P15-22.

A rail-mounted sling mount can allow you to install a 2-point sling. With the right butt-stock, you could even mount a single-point sling. You will love this rifle. It eats every brand of ammo I have run through it thus far.
 
Thanks alot for the info, much appreciated, i shot 10 rounds through it earlier this evening, it shots great, i do love it, couldnt be happier.

Get a couple of Federal Bulk Packs of .22s and have a blast. Be sure to only load the magazine one at a time like the manual says for best feeding results.

I just received word that my CC was charged by S&W today for the two mags I ordered from almost two weeks ago. I have yet to get the gun since I am on a small wait list so hopefully in a month or less.

But I was wondering what single point sling would work with the M&P15-22?

I was looking at some blackhawk ones but I am unaware if these will work. Do I need just a single point sling or do I need a single point sling and a single point adapter?

Anyone thread there barrel yet for a silencer or Flash hider?

Edit: Here were the ones I was looking at. There is an adapter there along with some single point slings.

Blackhawk Tactical Slings

Thanks!
 
ko41 Haven't heard from you, how is the skunk count?
I'm up to 2000 rounds no problems, very pleased.
Just got word from S&W, spare mags are on the way.
Hope S&W makes one of these in a 17hmr.

I was skunked for a couple of days. The skunks just don't seem to be on the same schedule as I am.

While the coffee was brewing at about 4:45 a.m. today I went for a walk around the yard and M&P 15-22 skunk no.6 was taken from about 30 yards.
The tools of the trade with no.6; M&P 15-22, Federal 36gr HP, NCStar green laser, Streamlight Strion LED light, skunk picker-upper-flinger.

I got mine today after waiting several weeks, my dealer got 3 in and I was first on his list $369.00 plus tax. I'll take to the range next week after the holiday and see how it shoots. I have a Colt M4 which shoots great but lacks some features I like. You can't take the bolt and carrier out of the Colt wheareas the M&P 15 22 takes down just like any other AR. Also the bolt stop on the Colt is just cosmetic, on the M&P it really works. Range report to follow next week.

Congrats on your M&P 15 22.

$369. is by far the cheapest price I have seen yet. Thought that was cost. :p
 
In general, are you guys ordering yours from the S&W website, ordering from dealers, or just finding them at shops? I have been looking everywhere and there is just NO sign of them in Ohio. It is driving me nuts. Every shop is trying to push the Colt on me, but its just not what i want.
 
i seen a ad about them in one of my magazines week or so ago, just happened to go into my Local Academy store yesterday, and asked if they had them, i just wanted to look and see what there price was. He said they showed to have them in stock, and sure enough, he pulled out the box, let me take a look at the gun, and feel in love with it, lol. And said I'LL TAKE IT. I didnt really think they would have them in stock. i Was lucky i guess.

Seems like guys are just "lucking" in to them at the local gun stores, or maybe some are finding them on auction sites like Gun Broker. Large stores like Cabelas and Academy appear to be getting a supply of these guns. Until the supply channels get filled up, it is pretty much hit or miss. Might be a good idea to get on a list with two or three gun stores and maybe one will get one for you. Have you tried Vance in Columbus?

Also go to the S&W web site and find the dealers in OH. Start calling them and you might get a hit.

Good luck with your search.
 
Anyone mounting a sling to theirs yet?

I would like to have a single point sling but not sure what will work with the 15-22.

Anyone got any ideas?
 
Im up in the Cleveland area. Have emailed, stopped by, and called several and nobody has even HAD one yet. I might just start cold calling to see where i get. Gonna be down in cbus this weekend for the came so maybe i'll check into Vance. Thanks for the heads up!
