I need to recheck the mag that it comes with. I swear the guy said it was a 25 round but if they are 10 in Kansas, it might be a Walmart thing. Suddenly the $397 isn't such a good deal. They are $429 at Academy but if that's with a 25 round mag and a threaded barrel, that's where I'll be spending my money.

Here in IL, my friend and I both shopped all over (locally) before buying. I got a good price of $429 for the standard (no threaded barrel), he paid $500 for the A1 (threaded barrel). Both with 25 round magazines.
S&W does still make 2 different versions. It's not that one is the "older" version without a threaded barrel. M&P15-22<br>.22 LR - Smith & Wesson

In WI they stil get about $425 FOR STD, 475 FOR MOE.
Just because two or more states have a ban, doesn't mean it's the same. Some states may require stock pinning, 10rd mags, and no flash hider, another state with a ban may require just a 10rd mag but say nothing about flash hider or stock. Check with local/state laws before making a final decision...
$400.....That's fantastic price for the gun with a non-threaded barrel and a single 25-round magazine.
On sale, around here in central Indiana, the cheapest I've seen them is about $450. I think the price at the local gun show(s) is around $400.

Both local Academy's are always out of stock unless you want the pink version. LGS has them for $499 with threaded barrels; black with a 25 round mag and camo with 10 round mag. Bought one of each to support the LGS that has been in business for a long time. The owner takes care of us; the Wally world and Academy associates can't.

The local gun shop here charges $447 for the MOE version! Not a bad deal at all!

For a .22, the only two possible benefits are:
0) The possible addition of a silencer.
1) The addition of weight at the end of the barrel to reduce vibration, and thus improved shot-to-shot consistency. The weight can be in the form of a heavy flash suppressor or muzzle brake. A flash suppressor is not necessary on a .22 to suppress flash.
I bought a version of the 15-22 that did not have a threaded barrel, but a local gun shop did threaded it for me for less than $50.

I paid 494 for the Camo'd threaded barrel in Murietta, CA...I just haven't picked it up yet.
It's fun reading these older threads.
The S&W, M&P AR15/22 are now going for $549.99- $599.99 & Higher.
That is when you can find one. I'm not aware of any being sold here with 10rd. mags. I would buy one if I could find one., Thanks B.O. & Bull, S. Biden.

Was just in the LGS here that caters mainly to LEOS and MIL, both active and retired. They had 10 15-22's with threaded barrel and 25 round magazine for $419. And they had a ton of ammo in all cals and gauges except for .22LR and .22Mag, and were a bit short on .38 special and .357 Mag. But had tons of all other calibers and at decent prices
Large distributors can "build" the rifle they want i.e. mine came from Gander Mountain no threaded barrel with 25 rd mag I didn't really care since it is basically eye candy on a 22. Maybe it is a "compliant" model that makes their inventory control easier but it was in GA which is still a free state. I also have a DPMS LR-308 that is not a standard catalog item, when I contacted DPMS they responded and advised it was a special "Distributor" build for GM only. It has the flash hider/standard mags etc. Walmart is certainly big enough to order a specific model with certain features added or deleted as they see fit. Might cut the cost by $3 and make them a bunch of money
