Picked up a DVP rifle and a DUR pistol in late February. God bless tax returns. It's like Christmas all over again.

First time posting but I've have been looking through these threads for lots of good advices and opinions.
Picked up a DVP last week....gave it a good cleaning and oil...took it to the range with different ammos (not the ones listed in the manual)...and NO FTE or FTF....yeah.
I put 100 rds of CCI, 100rds of Win Super X and 200 rds of Federal through the rifle without any hickup. Now it's time to accessorize!

New member here also. Great forum!
I picked up my DVE7xxx in Feb. this year. Blue spring, 2nd gen. mag., has the compensator, and is a Sku#811033 which I understand is the A1 Comp I was looking for, but is not stamped with "Performance Center" as stated here and in the manual.
My question is, should all A1 Comp/811033 15-22s have the Performance Center stamps between the ejector port and mag well?
The manual (Rev:083010-no red or blue dot) denotes on pg. 10 that this is how to distinguish if the rifle has the Laney chamber.
Of course I'm playing it safe and Not shooting Stingers, but does anyone have an idea as to why it's not stamped?

It's not stamped because its not a "Performance Center" model its just a standard model so shoot all the stingers you want. All the PC model are stamped Performance Center under the ejection port and have an 18" fluted barrel which are the two tell tale signs of the PC version. It also has the Laney chamber and a two stage trigger but those features are not as easy to see.

Thanks Recook,..It's not the Standard model, but I was under the impression that all A1 Comps had the Laney chamber, and were Performance Center models. Just had a bit of mis-information, but it's all good.
After reading your reply I went back to the S&W website and did see that I somehow overlooked the fact that there are indeed two different models (A1 Comp & Perf. Cent.) out of the 10 listed.
Thanks again

Hi there everyone. New to the forum today. What a great place! I look forward to many productive visits.
Picked up my first 15-22 today used at GM so I did not get any manuals but I did get two extra mags and a Kruger 1.5-5x32 tac scope.
I believe mine is an A1 style but I'm not quite clear on the difference between the A1 and the MOE.
I has the standard stock, no sights (due to scope I imagine) and a threaded barrel with compensator. 25 rd mags stamped 22LR and 25 RD. Mags have red followers.
Rifle has blue bolt and hammer springs and carries serial # DVP8XXX.
Can someone give me an idea of how old this is?
Thanks! Look forward to spending alot of time here!

Serial #'s
Hello All,
At the range yesterday and had a round fire out of battery blowing off the ejector and spring. Did not know this was an issue until I started doing some research. I have seen where the good people on this site have been researching serial #'s and keeping a good record. My Serial # begins with a DTM0***. According to Smith my weapon was produced in OCT 2009. I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on where the DTM series fell in the production process. I see where posters have speculated on the latest serial #'s, but may have missed any threads dealing with the earliest.

I wish somone would chime in with some facts as to when the factory put the better parts in. I'm going to call customer service. I'm going to go find the phone number and call them tomorrow.

Just picked up my 15-22, brand new today... S# = DVW6xxx
Came with one 10 round clip.
However gun shop sold me 2 25 round S&W clips for $17 each.
BTW, I find this board to be very helpful.

new unit serial number DVW5xxx
I picked up a unit today at Smokin' Guns in Paris. They had S&W reps there Fri & Sat, but I couldn't get there. Today, they still had quite a few 15-22's. All had serial numbers starting with DVWxxxx.

My new M&P15-22 "Tackdriver" S/N: DVW60XX
I just purchased the Gander Mountain S&W M&P 15-22 "TackDriver" model on Sun, Jun 5th. ($499.99 after mail-in rebate + tax).
I took it home right away, gave it a quick bore cleaning and went right to the range the same day since my son was visiting and we wanted to shoot it while he was still there.
The ammo we used was:
1) Federal 36 gr. copper plated hollow point (value pack 550).
2) CCI Blazer 40gr. lead round nose.
3) Winchester Super X 37 gr. copper plated hollow point.
4) Remington High Velocity 36 gr. hollow point.
5) Remington ThunderBolt 40 gr. lead round nose.
The S&W factory packed the box with the wrong manual (M&P15 center fire rifles manual). So by the time I read the latest manual for the rim fire on-line I found out the following info in it:
"Based on the design and action of the M&P15-22, Smith &
Wesson recommends that you use the following brands and
types of .22LR ammunition for optimal performance in your
M&P15-22 rifle:
• CCI Standard Velocity • Federal American Eagle
• CCI Mini-Mag • Federal GameShock
• Aguila Super Extra Std. Velocity • Winchester Super-X High Velocity
• Aguila Super Extra High Velocity"
"Through our testing, Smith & Wesson has also found that there
are several brands and types of .22LR ammunition that do not
perform consistently or reliably. Consequently, Smith & Wesson
DOES NOT RECOMMEND that the following brands or types of
.22LR ammunition be used in your M&P15-22 rifle:
• Remington Golden Bullet • Remington Thunderbolt
• Remington Target 22 • Winchester Wildcat
• Any and all sub-sonic brands and types"
So the only ammo we used on the "recommended list" was Winchester Super X, which happened to actually give us the poorest accuracy! And some of the others we shot were on the NOT recommended list!
All of the ammo we fired performed without any kind of failures whatsoever!!
This rifle absolutely performed "Out Of the Box" 100%! (My Serial # is DVW60XX)
The Remington Thunderbolt, however was very waxy and (I think it was the culprit) shot with a lot of soot. (BTW, The Colt/Umarex M4 Ops .22LR that I also own will not chamber any Remington ammo EVER! See Picture of it, below).
Here are pictures of the last two targets that my son and I shot at the end of the session while (I believe) we were using the Remington Thunderbolts - shooting up the box (ignore the masking tape - we use our targets real well before changing them). The slow fire was my son and the VERY rapid fire was mine at 75ft:
1st day - Left 75ft slow fire; Right 75ft very rapid fire
S&W M&P15-22 "Tackdriver" .22 LR
S&W M&P15-22 "Tackdriver" (top) and Colt M4 Ops (bot)

My 15-22 is serial number DVW1xxx. Picked it up about a week ago. It has been at my gun store for a little bit. Shot about 500 or so through it all ready with no type of failures. Mine is the Real Tree model with A1 birdcage.
I bought the Real Tree model because it was $50 cheaper and I wanted to look like a tool when I do drills.

WOW! Alot of reading here. I started from page 1 & ended up on page 25 and not in one post did I see a DTD **** serial no. I bought my 15/22 from Cabela's back on 6/05/11 (preowned) and it had the 1st gen. mags. It is the standard model (plain barrel) and as far as I can tell the springs are a silver color. I have put a few hundred rds. through it with no real issues, except for some CCI hollow points that got "stove piped" when trying to load. When I went back to the LRN Blazer's the rifle fed & fired fine. I am now in the process of trying some different brands of ammo coming this Tues. when I go to the range.
