I'm from the West Coast, and I haven't heard any rumors, wantna start some?
Rumor: 1, Attaching a grenade launcher to the M&P
2, Adding a 3 round burst to the selector switch
I could go on... Keep us informed, I think they have a fine product as is but I'm sure they can tink with this baby for many years to come to make it more realiable... the sky is the limit...

well if you saw last weeks cable show "Impossible Shots", they had S&W factory shooter jerry miculek putting 3 rd. on a steel target at 75 yd. where he was done shooting before the first round hit...and he did it using a S&W 15-22 with a stainless lother-walther heavy barrel that looked about 18 to 20 " long with a aftermarket metal foreend of a manufacturer whose name i missed. miculek said the rifle was good for 1 MOA accuracy but did not elaborate on anything else about the rifle. was it a one-off factory build for him, or was it a prototype that can be expected in the future from S&W...who knows??? in any event, i don't expect any 15-22's coming out of S&W to have the same USA GOLD trigger he was using.

This is similar to what I had heard.. S&W was going to shoot for MOA accuracy.. Changes to the Upper to do so...

Plinker Tactical (plinkertactical.com) said they're releasing a 35 round magazine at SHOT. I just hope we can get them in the Great White North, the firearms regs here really suck.

That's pretty cool(A nice dream for a CA resident). Man, the 25 round magazine is pretty long already. I'm hoping for a Magpul/S&W 15-22 P-mag to be released. And just because: I hope Magpul announces 10 round P-mags for 5.56/.223 haha

That was likely the aftermarket American Trigger Corp. AR Gold Trigger, a favorite of 3-gun shooters, which Jerry does. He may have had this gun built on his own since he knows all the parts builders anyway. Once I get my AR built for 3 gun I will likely put the same trigger in my AR15-22 so they feel the same. Likely either a Geissele or a Timney have not decided which.
