Yeah, I ordered two directly from S&W earlier in the month I am in the same boat. I signed up on 44Mag to be notified when they have them but at this point I figure I'm just SOL.
This just reinforces my fears about cleaning my gun out on the back patio. I have done it a couple of times without incident but I am always afraid a neighbor passing by will see me and call the police. I think I will do it with pants on next time just to be on the safe side.
I went out to the range (Knob Creek in Ky) today and sighted in the 15-22 w/ the UTG scope @ 25 yds. I left it a little high because I had a steel gong out at 100 yds. It was a very fun day but it was cut short by a storm. I'll be happier when someone gets some 10rd mags in stock so shooting...
Yes, it would be obvious. The replacement seems fine except that the green lighting doesn't work. Red works fine. I'm not going to mess with sending it back again.

I bought a UTG/Leapers Bug Buster (3-9x scope) last week and opened it up only to discover that the reticle was already shifted/rotated. I was determined to shoot with it so I rotated the entire scope to line up the crosshairs but it was futile. I like the overall design so I am sending it back...
The dial on my 15-22 was a little tight but I rotated it and it loosened up. Maybe they need to work it through the full range of motion and then set it where they rant it.
Before I bought my 15-22 I used my father's old Apache .22lr and he would always buy Thunderbolts. By the second 10-rd mag you would have FTF and FTE like crazy.
In my 15-22 I have only shot Winchester Dynapoints and CCI AR Tactical. I have had problems with the Winchesters but not a single...
