Never been to an "Appleseed" event, but excess shooters does not sound like much fun. I live in 10 acres (330' x 1330') out in the country with corn field to the West and South of me, and forest to the east of me. I enjoy shooting in the back yard were the majority of the "free space" is...

Targets 15-22 PC Check here: 15-22 Performance Center targets various ammo

Shooting so well I bought 4 more from CDNN Sports. 3 regular FDE and 1 FDE that has the loading tool. I see that their website is no longer functional, meaning, it is a domain parking spot up for grabs. So I doubt that they are still in business. If these last 4 work as well as the others I...

Does the box say "AGUILA" prime or "ELEY" prime?

Put the 16X scope on my new S&W 15-22 Performance Center and sandbag in the outfit to see what results different ammo and rifle combo can come up with. Quite the surprise. All targets shot at 50 yards. 18" barrel, match chamber and barrel. Aguila Super Extra High Velocity: Eley Club...

WHEW!!! long read. I see I came late for the Dinner.. ended up at Supper.. LOL Meaning, I'm new to the S&W 15-22 since June 18th. So it was news to me about this non-issue I saw over on another "rimfire" forum, and now here. FWIW, it is not dirty gun, nor duds nor for the most part, ammo...

This issue with the Smith & Wesson 15-22 is not an isolated case. The article from The Firearms Blog indicates that there have been multiple incidents of issues. Enough so that they are banned from the Appleseed events. Ref: BREAKING: S&W M&P 15/22 Rifles BANNED at Appleseed Events Due to Run...

tomcatt51, I just got in some Colt 901 pins from Brownell's and after putting them in, the pin for the trigger seemed to be more sloppy. I took it out and measured it at 0.1530" x 1.000" and the original S&W pin that I had just taken out measured 0.155" x 0.900" The suggestion at the...

Yes, you are correct. My bad, and I'm sorry. Suggesting that one should just modify their brand new firearm before contacting the mfg is not good advice. I recall reading about this same issue on the rimfire forums and new pins, etc were suggested. What I said about staking the pin, and new...

I'm assuming you have a S&W 15-22, but which model? There is the standard "sport" and then there is the more expensive "Performance Center" model that has a match grade barrel and chamber, as well as an 18" barrel with target crown. I have seen pics of the PC version shooting exceptional tight...

It is a polymer lower receiver, and as such if the holes drilled for the pins for the trigger and hammer are a bit out of spec, say larger, then you have issues with the hammer and sear engagement. Pin walking will cause wear on polymer a bit faster than on aluminum. I bought Colt 901 pins...

I bought 4 of them from CDNN Sports online the other day at $6.99 ea for the 35 round magazine with no loading tool and 1 for $8.99 that came with the loading tool. Loads pretty good with that tool, but I would like to find another tool someday for a spare. Would be a PITA to load one without...

If you want to spend money on a suppressor, this one has some great features, and at $99 is affordable: SOS-22 | Rebel Silencers

CCI AR Tactical will shoot good groups. You'll like this link: Plinking Fun with S&W (Part 2) - The M&P15-22 Performance Center Rifle - OhioValleyOutdoors.com | Hunting, fishing and outdoors information for the Ohio Valley

I experience FTE if I let my longer magazine push down(rest) on a solid surface when shooting. Get the magazine off the bench/object and it ejected fine. Not a good idea to hang onto a magazine as it will do strange things and was not meant as a part of the forward grip.
