Got my repaired M&P 15-22 back from S&W

[27 Beck]

hay all i got my gun back today and just got done shooting it it went well just one mess up. and it was the way i loaded the clip. i also got 2 extra clips with it as well. S&M did a great job with the fixing it and getting it right back. the shop i took it to was the reason it took so long. i think they for got to ship it and it sat there for a while. so far so good i love the gun. i am running (Blazer 22 long rifle).(40Gr) through it now. 110 rounds ... so far so good

Glad you got your gun back and it is shooting well for you. And two free magazines is good too.

I tend to agree, anytime there is another layer (retailer, or whatever) there is always a possibility of them taking their time to return it to the manufacturer.

I haven't tried any Blazer .22s in mine yet. One of these days I'll have to see how that round shoots in my 15-22.

Glad to hear you got your rifle back and you are happy with it. I hope you continue to have smooth sailing. Since S & W stands behind their products I am sure you will.

o ya i will deff be having lots of fun with it.. S&W is a great company.. and i will update you all on how it is going with the gun in the near future.. soon as i get a 1000 rounds through it.. God bless ya'll ...

 

[Lynn]

You too Aaron. Please keep us appraised!

I sent my weapon back on Nov 4 and I got it back last night the 12th. Man that was fast and also with two new mags.
What ticks me off is the Fed Ex guy. He left the rifle in front of the door without ringing the door bell. It stated on the front of the package it was to be signed for by an adult.
I'm glad no one took it. Something told me to check the front door about eight thirty last night. I have a security camera at the front door and when I flipped it on ,there was the package.
The rifle is dirty but hopefully it doesn't jam up now.

Congrads on getting your 15-22 back, that was fast indeed!!!! Now, get out there and test it out!!!! Good luck.

Congratulations Cptslick.

That was pretty quick alright.

That Fed-X driver really screwed up. What if some extra stupid kid took that rifle and hurt themselves or someone else? You should tell Fed-X before something like that happens.

well every one i just got done shooting 500 rounds through it today. and all went great. only two bullets ended up sideways and jaming. out of 500 thats not bad.. and it was with the same clip. i did mark them. so im not sure if its the way i loaded or if it is the clip. o ya and cptslick i would deff say somthing to fed x dont get the guy in trouble just let them no that they need to pay more attention.. specialy if its a fire arm.. God Bless everyone .. peace out...

 

[Lynn]

Surely Fed-X has already told their drivers not to do that.

I am not saying I want to get anybody in trouble. I don't, in such a case, see how to avoid that though.

 

[Cptslick]

I thought about calling but supposing the guy has a family to take care of and he gets fired. On the other hand he should be reprimanded but I don't know what Fed Ex would do to him. I think I will leave it alone. At least my rifle is here.

I would throw him under the bus in a second! Fedex sucks, and they need to know about idiots like that. If the whole country thinks they can do their job half ass, where would we be?.... Oh yea.... we would be where we are right now..... in the crapper.

What about the family of some very young child, who being completely naive concerning firearm safety, swipes that box off someones porch and later shoots himself or someone else, or both?

Besides that, Fed-X being a large corporation within the "new improved" corporatist pseudo socialist Amerika, would be hard pressed to fire even a completely irresponsible idiot like that driver.

He would likely, be warned and told not to let it happen again, or else. Then maybe, just maybe now, the idiot wont later be held indirectly responsible for, some unloaded even potential gun tragedy, for the media to play up to the hurt of all gun owners everywhere.

 

[Cptslick]

Well I notified Fed Ex this morning after thinking about this. It is too dangerous for him to continue doing this stuff and not doing his job.
I spent twenty years a Mailman, and things like that would have gotten me fired.

 

[TxShooter2k9]

I think its a good idea that you notified Fedex about it, will they do anything about it? Who knows, but you did your part.

Well... to begin with.... the very young child (VYC) would have to get ahold of some .22lr ammo. And that isn't easy these days, even for adults. Then, the VYC would have to study the complex method that many suggest is required to load the 15-22 magazine. And even after all that... the 15-22 would actually have to cycle a round into the chamber without jaming. Since that is quite doubtful, the VYC would have figure out how to clear the round. By then, I'm sure the VYC would get bored and move onto something more fun.

Good on you Cptslick. You did the right thing.

Just like you, I also hate to see anyone loose their job, and yet surely that driver needs to be clued. They will probably warn him and put him/her on probation is all. You may have even saved that driver from serious liability later on.

Thing is, ammo is also routinely left on doorsteps by parcel delivery services, and so even a small child could very easily also get a hold of ammo.

We sure don't want to see FOX News going ballistic, about even the possibility of, mail order guns being left on doorsteps for children to get a hold of. Whether ammo is involved or not is irrelevant. Such a story would only fuel gun control hysteria.

FedEx guy thinks he is doing recipient a favor by leaving item with no signature. Knows that recipient is anxiously awaiting item. Most people don't want to wait all day for delivery to occur. Ends up getting his nads jammed because someone wanted to sign for the package.

UPS actually works a little differently. They give a robo call the day before arrival letting recipient know package coming and signature required. UPS won't say what time delivery will occur, so someone needs to be at delivery location till package arrives. If one has other things to do that day it sometimes is an inconvenience waiting on the delivery.

 

[Cptslick]

One thing I will say is he can't deny that he didn't ring the bell because my security camera recorded it all including times which was 6:40 PM. Fed EX told me there was a signature obtained. I told them not from me. Thank God for that security camera. Good investment.
