    Why is my barrel not threaded?

    My thoughts, exactly. They just charged you for a threaded barrel and delivered a cheaper one. I would go back and get the one you wanted. In the long run, it will be cheaper, faster, and a "factory thread". I know it's hard to go back when you have the gun in hand and want to shoot it, but...

    Hand Guard Options

    After following CPTBeaker's instructions, I see these are now in stock, so I ordered one: NC Free Float Handguard When I get it mounted on the rifle, I'll be sure to post pics.

    S&W vs Colt

    Saw that on Youtube, and it's what really sold me on the S&W. That, and the standard trigger group, in case I wanted to upgrade it. Speaking of triggers, I've been very happy with the factory one on mine. Maybe they improved it, or maybe (probably) I'm just not that picky. M&P 15-22...

    WalMart Version of 15-22

    Go back to the store and ask them to refund the difference. Most stores (gun or not) will honor a sale price, if you bought it a certain number of days prior to going on sale. The worst that can happen is they say no. More often than not, however, they give you the money back.

    Gauging intrest for drop in ambi safety

    Jon, your are a gentleman and a scholar (in other words, it has been a pleasure doing business with you)! That's a highest-quality kit, and very easy to install. Excellent job on this, and thank you!

    Hopps Solvent vs Rem Oil on 15-22

    I used the very combination originally posted for many years, and only recently refined the products I use. I really like Hoppes solvent and have had good luck with it. With the new polymer guns, I'm a little more judicious in what it gets used for, just in case it would ever harm the polymer...

    Amo...again

    I've used Remington and Federal hollowpoints with a "five nines" degree success (that's 99.999%, or as close to 100% as anybody could ever expect to get). I also finished up the last of my Remington "Viper" and "Yellow Jacket" truncated cone solid and hp ammo that has been taking up space for...

    YOUR OPINION ?? SHOULD i BUY ??

    750 rounds and no trouble. No regrets here! As far as S&W customer service, my wife's Walther P22 had a bad spring and we called for a replacement (S&W handles warranty claims for Walther in the U.S.). We were very impressed and happy with how quickly things were handled. S&W Customer...

    M&P 15-22 Purchase

    I should let those reply with thousands of rounds through their rifles, but feel compelled to add my two cents anyway. It seems like about the only thing anyone ever complains about with the 15-22 these days (previous production-related issues aside) is that if the extractor gets bent, even...

    New M&P 15-22 Owner

    I'm new to the 15-22 myself, but here's what I found: The Burris Fastfire III appears to be a resilient, reliable reflex style sight. It's small, especially when I think about how much I paid for it. It's currently mounted on my 15-22 on top of a 1 inch riser, and I boresighted it last night...

    Barrel nut lose again

    Seems like I saw that number somewhere, but can't remember for sure. Here's what I found on the subject: http://smith-wessonforum.com/smith-wesson-m-p-15-22/112875-15-22-barrel-nut-tool.html

    Online or Local 22lr ammo deals?

    It appears that the best deal they have at the moment is Aguila 1135fps - 5000 rds at $255. I don't think that's too bad for quality ammo, but I can't seem to find an exact comparison online. http://www.odcmp.com/Sales/ammo.htm#Aguila22

    Why I chose the 15-22 over the 522

    I think that's an awesome post - thanks for sharing all of that info! I hear the 15-22 is a piece of cake to clean, too - unlike the Colt M4-22.

    How many own a .223/5.56

    I have a Mini-14 Target, and wasn't in the market for an AR until I discovered the 15-22.

    Zeroing my 15-22, where do I begin?

    I totally agree - this is what I was going to say. When it comes to sighting in a new gun, I'm no good at all. A couple of years ago, I finally bought a laser bore sighter. It was a cheap one - the kind that sticks out of the muzzle, with several adapters for different calibers. At first, I...

    New From Minnesota

    I'm new to S&W's from Minnnesota. Back when I lived in the Twin Cities, I rented a S&W semi-auto pistol from "the" indoor shooting range, and that has been my one and only exposure to S&W firearms. I'm now looking at an M&P 15-22, and decided this would be a great place to start.
