How much and where to buy? Just to satisfy my curiosity, of course. I cannot justify spending too much on a .22lr rifle that I only use to shoot targets...until I get it silenced, that is...

My 16 year-old daughter thought it was awesome to shoot, though! Way nicer than her Marlin 60...

Why not shoot the cheap stuff and be happy? Because (currently) there is no "cheap stuff" available locally. And, mainly, because S&W says that it should shoot Federal bulk and CCI perfectly...well, mine does not. I will call S&W just to see what they think (or at least see what the customer...

A not-so-good range visit (post S&W repair) Shot about 200 rounds of CCI Mini-mag 40g round-nose bullets, and had about 8 mis-feeds/jams/bent rounds. Alternatively, shot a bunch of Aquila and Federal bulk ammo with no failures. Also...get this: shot about 75 rounds of Remington bulk ammo with...

Just though I'd ask: Has anyone found a "single point sling adaptor" to mount a single point sling to this rifle (MP15-.22)? I have the sling but am reluctant to drill into the polymer and would prefer not to use a zip-tie...the zip-tie is my best solution so far... None of the AR products seem...

Repair + free magazines... Yes. Two. I didn't want to brag about it; seems S&W wants to make amends for problematic rifles. With the 3 extra magazines I purchased after getting the rifle, that puts me up to 6 total; probably too many for target shooting, but nice to have... The rifle is dirty...

Got it back today. Looks as though they fired it a lot; dirty. May get to the range this weekend if I'm nice to my wife:D

10-4. Glad it's almost here, but now concerned that I may miss them again...S&W is awesome, so I appreciate the return of my rifle, just wish I'd been there to receive it...

S&W had Fedex deliver mine today (after the feed/extract problem repair) without notifying me. So, of course, I wasn't here and missed them. Looks like tomorrow is Round 2; hopefully my wife will be back in time. I am starting to feel ill (sick for work, I mean)...And off to the range this...

You know, I was raised in Springfield, Ma. Didn't leave until joining the Navy and going to boot camp in Jan. 1987. Still have family there, but love living in Ga. Gun laws are waaaaaay more lax, as well. Just visit County Courthouse, pay $47 and wait a few (8?) weeks for your concealed-carry...

Read some of the others' posts...200 would be better. I am unhappy. I was SOOOOOO hoping that it was my fault (improper loading of the magazines). I just hope that it is fixed and returned prior to my next range visit (60 miles from home). Thanks.

Re: Operator error? Not operator error, unfortunately for me. Another range visit with the same results...ugh. Will be shipping to S&W next week. TxShooter2k9, let me know how it does on your second range visit, as 75 rounds is not enough to give me a "warm fuzzy." Thanks all. Matt

Free stuff from store and not S&W?! Nice man. Not his fault that your rifle is "suspect." I told my wife earlier this afternoon that CUSTOMER SERVICE is severely overlooked by too many businesses at there own peril. It goes a LONG way, in my opinion. I wish you the best with your rifle; keep us...

Got my (3) extra magazines! Only took 9 days. Of course, I haven't shot my rifle in almost 2 weeks...based on this thread, it seems that I may have a "real" problem. Thanks go out to "allglock" for his troubleshooting abilities. I am not as heavy when it comes to weapons and rely upon persons...

That's what I've read... Cannot go wrong. Good 1st reply. Got a Marlin 60 for my daughter, though, because of price...jealous.
