New MP15-22 - Feeding/Extraction Issues?

[maxicooper]

300 rounds of Federal and Winchester Super X. Had multiple FTE. Trying to decide if I should run it and live with it or send it back.

FTE, please check this out. http://smith-wessonforum.com/smith-wesson-long-guns/103187-m-p-15-22-repair-thread-fte.html

or, just send it back to S&W. They will fix it for you at no charge.

I don't have much experience with mine yet, but several people at the local club have these. It seems if the mags aren't broken in, you have more problems with them. I shot mine in a match, and only had 1 mag, so I borrowed another. The gun ran fine with my mag, but I had problems with the borrowed mag. I broke my mag in by taking it apart, spraying it with silicone, and loading it full, then let it set for a couple of days. The borrowed mag had never been shot. Give that a try and let us know if the guys at the club are right.

I have yet to clean my mag, but that is next on the list. I want to see if it corrects the FTF problems with a good cleaning.
