I've noticed some of the talk about the beginning letters of the ser#. Commonly its the date of manufacture. Mine starts with DTU, it is a newer model, having the threaded barrel with flash suppressor, & the cap that goes at the end of the hand rail. Was there problems with certain beginning...

WOW! So thats a mall ninja. These guys really believe they know whats goin on. How can you lie or make $#%@ up like that & not be embarassed for yourself, not even that but, (sorry Im laughin) think you could even fool a 7 yr old. One dude says "the 97% of people who wear body armor are fine...

Im new to the forum and have been finding it very insightful and a great way to measure up new products without wasting $. Rollin thru a graveyard shift here & got a chance to go thru alot of the picture threads for the 1522. Really cool stuff. But without steppin on toes or upsetting any of you...

You guys should try this CLP called SUPER SLICK SLICK STUFF. Its about 10$ a can but works great at blasting anything from residue to sand and any kind of grime. Its safe for composite material, I use that on every gun I have then a little Hoppes for the bore. Ace hardware has it. There is also...

try Nc star. Ive got one I use on my ar and love it. Its 6 in. with 3 in. extension, swivels a little to left&right, as well as a little up and down. It comes with the mount for a picatinny rail right on it. Also has a quick release that is rather sturdy. $35-45 depending where buy/order. Ive...

I bought my 1522 brand new. Shot about 300 cci mini mags copper plated(1273fps i think), with 4 or 5 ftload. Also have 250 or so of the 1070fps, not copper coated, same issue 4or5 ftload. I clean religiously after shooting and reoil and wipe down every couple of months if my babies sit without...

In my experience with the weapons I own of this sort, the safety will not engage if the weapon hasnt been charged, thus cocking the hammer back. As tension on the trigger assembly can be harmful if you plan on storing your gun for awhile. Dry firing isnt recommended either. Usually what I do is...

grips, extra or extended mags,rear sight (have boat ramp adjustable rear)just haven't seen many accessories for this

have a 639, stainless but a 8 rnd mag. 500+rnds thru her, seriously, not one malfunction. Posted here hours ago about parts and acc's,cant find any, 59,659 in my opinion should be a great weapon, 15 rnd clip, other than that the same as 39/639.$250-450 seems right depending on barrell and pitting.

300 rnds of cci, 200 cppr plt 40grn, 100 rnd nose lead, 40 gr. love it, not to accurate with quick trigger, but 2-3 secs in btwn & 1-2inch groups.

thanks for responding raveneap, federal shoots great through my 5.56, use .223 55gr fmj, just been hearing these horror stories about lead nose, hp, 30gr, or HV.Spent $475 on this 1522, no fed .22lr @ gun shop, walmart,etc, here where i live, cci seems alright, just looking for someone who has...

bought a 1522 month ago, so far ive got 300 rounds thru it. 2 ftl's, from the charging handle, not boltcatch, shooting cci minimags copp plt 40 grn, cci lead round nose 1070fps. seems great, easier than feeding 5.56@$65 per 100. heard mixed reviews on ammo for 1522, are people not cleaning their...
