What is this battery thing for 15/22 ??

What is this battery thing for 15/22 I have seen on some threads?? Could someone explain, thanks

Do you mean firing out of battery?

That describes a situation where the firearm discharges a round while the bolt isn't completely locked, it could be dangerous as the case will rupture and shrapnel may be ejected. It was a problem on older models, prior to the 'blue' springs but seems to be mostly fixed. It is a problem with other rimfire rifles too, and usually not too serious.

Is there a battery that goes in the stock for something or it looked like one ? I think I saw a photo , just asking, I don't know that much about these 15//22's as of yet but working on it.

"In Battery" simply means that the slide is all the way forward, forcing the round completely into the chamber, without any of the shell exposed. It seems that most (all?) .22 rifles, and some .22 pistols, can fire without the slide being completely forward. This can often hit the primer forcefully enough to explode the shell, but because it isn't fully enclosed, it can expand or explode outwards, ejecting portions of the shell, etc.

I've had one round (CCI Tactical) with a slightly oversize bullet, which resulted in the rifle not going into battery. I noticed the different sound/feel, though, and did not fire it. That was not because it was a 15-22; it could have happened to most any semi-auto .22 rifle.

Centerfire weapons usually cannot fire out of battery, and some .22 pistols (like my Browning Medalist - haven't tried the Buck Mark - and High Standard).

It has nothing to do with the stock, although some stocks do have storage for things (such as batteries for red dots).

Maybe the OP is referring to the storage compartments in the PC version stock. Extra batteries can be stored there for flashlight, laser, etc.

He could also be asking about the Battery Assist Devices like the Magpul BAD.

my scope and red dot have batteries!

Like they said if a gun is out of battery that means the chamber is not locked and it should not be shot because if the round goes off bad things will happen.

I think this discussion is referring to the battery assist device that NDZ Performance has; called their SBR. It is the same thing. I have one and am very pleased with it.

 

[gdauth]

Is he asking about assault and battery?

Did you have 100 percent lock back? Did you modify the bolt release spring?

I want to thank everyone who answered my question here , I learned a couple different things. I just wasn't aware about running a scope and or red dot with batteries was my basic question. I have never had a scope that needed batteries so it seemed odd to me.

I am sorry about the rude post in your thread. I for one enjoy sarcasm in jest whether it is at my expense or preferably at someone elses.

I thought you were referring to the compartment in the fake buffer tube. I can't seem to find anything other than ear plugs to fit in there. I am old school, I don't think that rifles should come equipped with batteries anyway.

Red dot 'scopes' require batteries to provide the red dot, the power used is minimal so a couple of smalll watch style batteries or a AAA are often used and last a long time. If the battery or electronics fail you no longer have anything to aim with, hence the need for back up sights or 'iron sights'.

Magnified scopes in general don't need batteries, although some models have an illuminated reticle which does requires power. I have a UTG 3-12X44 Compact IE SWAT Scope, the IE stands for Illuminated Reticle which in this case is a mil-spec 36 color model so you can always find a nice contrasting sight. Of course if the battery dies you still have a black reticle so BUIS (back up iron sights) are not really required.

yup my red dot requires a battery. my scope does not, although i can illuminate my crosshairs in red or green with if i do use a battery.

Not all red dots require batteries. They do require some sort of light source. In some of the very high end sights, the light source(s) are fiber optic light pipes or tritium vials.

But why would you ever put a $1500 acog on a $400 gun . Just askin the ?

It is not uncommon for optics to cost at least as much, if not more, that the firearm they are used on.

My red dot requires a battery. Supposedly. It lasts 50 000 hours in the on position.....
