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 looking into a single point sling aswell, I seen one on ebay that just had a hook on it with clip, that slipped over the deal on the gun. it was like 8.50 free shipping from Hong kong. Im still looking though.
 
I picked one of these up at Academy in early Aug for $449. They had 3 in stock at the time. I ordered 3 extra mags from S-W on 20 Aug and got a quick response back with my order number. Nothing happened for a week, so I called them on 27 Aug and was told they had been back ordered, but some had just arrived and were being shipped. They must have ran out before they filled all the back orders, because I haven't heard anything yet and it hasn't been charged to my credit card. The M&P cost more than I had planned to spend on a 22, but I'm happy with it.

Congrats on your M&P 15-22. Seems like several have found one at Academy.

I also ordered some mags in late August. Got a post card saying on BO. They showed up on my door step Sept. 2nd. Shipped FedEx. I called and reordered a couple more on 9-3. Guy in customer service said they were in stock and my new order should ship first of next week.
 
Mags

Ordered 2 from S&W store online.Received them in about a week.Priced at $20.08 ea.

I bought one yesterday and love it. It feels awesome and looks mean for a "stock" 22 rifle. I haven't got to shoot mine yet, but from what I have read I will be more than happy.

Does anyone know where to get extra magazines yet?

Thanks for the info. I'll be calling them Monday to check on my order. When I called them on the 27th, I don't think they actually checked it, just told me they were in and were being shipped. When I ordered online on 20 Aug, I immediately got an email confimation of the order. I haven't received a post card or email saying they were on BO, absolutely nothing since the 20th. I've made a lot of purchases online, and this is the worst service I've had. Well, at least they haven't charged me yet, and the one mag I have is easy to reload. It ain't all bad.
 
For 27 Beck, or anybody who has received extra mags for the M&P15-22:

Have you noticed any difference at all between the one(s) you ordered vs the original? Better, worse, identical? Thanks in advance.

Not meaning to rain on anyone's parade, but aside from the mag capacity, is there anything this can do that my 10/22 can't in the way of fun plinking?? For the price you paid, I could buy 2 10/22's
Click to expand...

Well, you got me there. I guess the answer is NO. But, buying guns is a lot like buying cars. It's not always about what is most economical, but what you want and can afford. For the price of a Corvette, I could probably buy 2 Mustangs. They're both reliable, can go fast, are a lot of fun, etc. Does that mean I shouldn't buy a Corvette just because the Mustang is cheaper? If money is the main consideration, maybe yes. If what I want (and can afford) is the main thing, then I'll get what I want. If what I really want is a Corvette, why should anybody have a problem with it?

As for the 10/22, I'm not going to knock it (standard model). It is probably one of the most reliable guns sold in the last 20 years. But, that's not what I wanted. I will knock the 10/22 tactical model. I looked at it, and just don't think it's good looking or functional. If I just wanted a 22 for plinking, I've got a Nylon 66 that I've owned for almost 45 years that is still in excellent condition. I paid $30 for it in 1964 or 65, so I know about spending wisely. I didn't really need another 22, but I wanted one, and the M&P is the one I wanted. BTW, I'm not a Ruger basher. Before I bought the M&P 22, I already had a Ruger Mini 14. Could have spent a lot more on a AR-15 type 223, but the Mini is what I wanted. It's not always about the money, it's about being able to do what you want to do. There's no rain on my parade.
 
Burk940,

Thank you for the most intelligent argument for or against any firearm purchase that I've read on any forum discussion so far.

Thank you for your kind comment. It's very seldom that I see "intelligent" associated with anything I say or write. :o
 
i maybe taking mine back to Academy today, and they'll have to send it off to S&W. Got it Thursday, ive shot probally 100rds or so, and had several FTF's. I didnt clean it when i first got it, not sure if that has anything to do with it??..but i'll be shooting, and click..i'll pop out the FTF round, and try again, and nothing, actaully bent the bullet last time. I just tried it this morning, put about 15 rounds in the clip, 1 at a time, and had like 3 hicups. So i dunno, im not to happy.

What brand of bullets are you feeding?
 
M&P 1522 quad rail

Just got mine two days ago...200 rounds flawless (CCI mini mags)..This is going to sound like I am a real DUMB_*** but can anyone tell an ignorant redneck how to get the quad rail off so I can wipe down the barrell..field stripping and cleaning is a breeze just not smart enough I guess to remove the the quad LOL:):(:(

At the moment I am unable to make a comparison. My 15-22 and the mag are at the local store awaiting repair parts for the gun. :(

When the repair is complete and I have the gun back, I will look at the OE mag and compare with the ones I received last week from S&W. I'll post more info then.

Ive tried Winchester Wildcat, and i had some older stuff, like Rememington hollow points-brass, and regular Remington stuff. Havent it tried anything esle, thats all i had. But i mean its crazy, i cant shoot 5 bullets it seams without it screwing up on me. I dont know how many bullets its actually bent from jaming. Really aggravating.
