Hi everyone, question on barrel shrouds for the 15-22 I recently got one: really like how it enhances the look of the rifle. Last week I took it plinking in the hills (I live in Nevada) but this weekend I was thinking of going to the supervised range. Has anyone ever had any issues with a barrel...

thanks for the input! really appreciate it!

Hi guys, I just purchased an M&P 22 Compact. (first ever pistol btw... took it out yesterday and it ran great. I love it!) Sorry if this is a silly question: when I got home and was cleaning it, I noticed there is some very small marring/paint chipping off around the face of the chamber. Just...

This whole time I've been using 36-grain hollow points (CCI) I think I'm going to try 40-grain roundnose and see if it's more reliable. Anyone had better reliability with roundnose as opposed to HP? I also noticed CCI is putting out "22 tactical" roundnose ammo, supposedly designed for the M&P...

Update on mis-fires So I went back to the range today and put 100 rounds through it... I'm starting to wonder if it might be a bad box of ammo. (it was a 300-round box of CCI Mini Mags purchased online) The rifle was thoroughly cleaned the night before. First magazine had 2...

Allright... so while cleaning out the bolt upon further inspection I found a small HOLE on the surface of it... apparently the surface got damaged somehow. Does this mean I need to get the bolt replaced? What the hell would cause that? (I recall one of the jams from today was a failure-to-feed...

Oh and the rounds I went through today were from a totally different box than the one I used last week, so that's got me wondering too but we'll see. Range master said that would be very rare to have a bad batch from CCI but it's possible.

Hey guys, wondering if I could get some thoughts on FTF's with a brand new 15-22. I took it out for the 1st time a week ago, had an absolute blast. Went through 150 rounds without an issue. (forgot to clean it afterwards, though) Took it out today, went through 100 rounds, and had about 10-12...

Hey guys, Sorry for the newbie question: I'm completely new to the AR-type platform, let alone the M&P15-22. After you pull back on the charging handle... I know you're supposed to just let it go and not "let it ride"... but is it necessary to pull back on the handle with a certain amount of...
