I had the pleasure of meeting Forum member TurboniumOxide (Jeff) at the range today. He's got the J&P and I really liked shooting with it. I'm ordering one.
Jeff,
That's a fine son you have. He was handling those firearms very well.
Cheers

Just got done cleaning the rifle and pistol from the range trip. The 15-22 cleans up so quickly and even with about 450 rounds of fed red bulk, there was no barrel fouling to speak of. Not a single hint of any issue, I even deliberately screwed up the double stack in the magazine, trying to make it fail. Perfection.
This is the first trip to the range for the rifle and the scope, and the scope mounting hardware rattled loose as it always does on the first trip after installation.
My son ( 6yo ) was shooting the Ruger Mk3 22/45 with a primary arms gen3 micro. That kid is a whiz with a slingshot, too. He trained with NERF before being allowed an upgrade. We are up to rimfire, now.
He is a great kid, I am very proud.
It was great meeting you CP, and even better shooting your Sig. I want one now. I want everything.
What I got was this:
Walmart.com: CenterPoint 4-16x40mm Scope: Optics
I fully expected a piece of junk. It turns out to work just fine, holds zero fine with the 15-22. Decent eye relief, supposed to be waterproof, fog proof, shock proof. Initial Impressions are good.

That exact model Centerpoint Scope has beaten out my $200 Nikon Buckmasters 3-9x40 as my favorite scope.
Best $70 i ever spent on optics.
Im buying another .22lr with a bolt action in 2 weeks and its getting a CP added to it also.
You can find many reviews on forums and across the net about how well that scope works.
Here is a long drawn out discussion mainly with myself as i internally battled which scope went where.
As it stand the CP is on my 15-22 and the Nikon on my .17HMR

I put my yellow JP springs in last weekend and got out to the range today for the first time. It does lower the trigger pull by a good amount over the stock springs. Did not do any polishing yet. My son should have a much easier time the next time he comes along. It was a bit tough for small fingers.
On another note, I am having FTE problems that seems to happen one time per magazine (using two new style magazines). It is not consistent within the 25 rounds when the FTE happens, sometimes beginning, middle, end. While firing, I noticed that the spent cases do not seem to eject consistently. Some seem to fly out in an upward direction others downward. Was wondering if anyone with a rifle not having any problems knows how their casings are ejecting. If your casings are coming out consistently, I may have an ejector problem that S&W may need to repair.

I think Brett248Vista added a video for adjusting the ejector.

I checked his thread and didn't see one on that topic. That would be my vote for the next one he does. Those videos are some of the best information out there for 15-22 owners.

Sorry about that. I thought Brett added the ejector tweak vid. Here's the link to it

Great, thanks!
Is there a big difference in these yellow JP springs and the "new" blue springs that S&W is installing in there rifles now?
Thanks

I don't know about the blue springs except that everyone here who has installed them had a problem before they installed them and it seemed to do the trick. As for the JP spring kit I didn't like the weight of the stock trigger but I also didn't want a 2.5-3lb pull. Wanted more like 4-5lbs. With the $10 springs and some light polishing it's now 4.1lbs (had it tested). Someone can orrect me if I'm wrong but I think the stock pull is about 7lbs give or take. Best $10 I've ever spent.

Received my JP spring kit from Brownells, today. I think that when I pick up my 15-22 this coming Friday, I'll run anywhere from 500 to 1000 rounds first and see how it performs. It there are no major malfunctions, I'll switch the springs out.
If so required, I do not want to send the gun back to S&W and risk them telling me that I had tampered with it.
