Would you buy a M&P 15-22 in .22 magnum

grg3d · Jun 10, 2012

I know I would

What do you guys & gals think if they ever offer it in .22 magnum?

Brett248Vista · Jun 10, 2012

Nope

Happy with it as is

crazykg85 · Jun 10, 2012

This was a topic of conversation a while back. At first I wanted one, now I don't. 22 mag really just doesn't do it for me anymore.

Gunslinger808 · Jun 10, 2012

No way.
The .22m has a long and troubled history of working in semi auto weapons.
Too long and thin to feed/extract reliably, just look at all the failed concepts, even the Ruger 10-22 magnum was problematic.
Now a 17HMR might be interesting...

thacheese · Jun 10, 2012

for the extra couple hundred it would probably cost i'd just get an M&P-15 sport.

crofoot629 · Jun 10, 2012

No way.
To me the .22 Mag's ballistics don't justify the rounds cost.

There's already a thread on the subject.

no, but a MP15-17HM2 would be fun

AABEN · Jun 10, 2012

I would if they made it in a 30rd clip!!!!!

Shay.ca · Jun 10, 2012

15-22s use magazines; M1 Garands use clips.

I assume most 15-22 owners would not buy a 22mag version because it would defeat the reasons they bought the 15-22. cheap training rifle, cure the "bug", cheap plinker, etc...

rraisley · Jun 10, 2012

I either shoot "cheap" or "big". The 22WM would be neither, I'm afraid. I liked it when I had a Ruger single action with both 22 and 22mag cylinders, but not for a single gun. For me, at least.

Dam my searchFu...

Thanks for the info....don't see how I could have missed that thread???

Just been thinking about the Kel-tec PMR30 & the RMR-30 as I have a "thing" for same caliber ammo between pistol's and riffles...even better if they take the same mags...

Aceman58 · Jun 11, 2012

Yea, was on my mind but as stated, to many issues with the case in a semi-auto. I just like the bullet, I got two other bolt rifle in 22 WMR and love them (Marlen 782s, one is Desert the other is black). Now the .17HMR would be interesting....

The issue I'd have with a M&P15-22 in .22 magnum is gonna be the ammo cost!

I have an Ithaca lever gun in .22 magnum and I cringe every time I pick up ammo for that rifle.

R.W.Dale · Jun 11, 2012

Nope

There isn't anything I can do with a 22mag that I can't do for a fraction of the cost with a 22lr.

For Pete's sake 22mag ammunition costs as much as 9mm and I can't reload the stuff.

Dixiejack · Jun 12, 2012

Like one in .22 mag. and 9mm.

farmerjohn · Jun 14, 2012

I would buy 22 mag , who cares about cost of ammo . Plink with 22 lr , hunt with 22 mag . Another reason to buy another gun . If you want 17 hmr Alexanderarms in Radford Va. makes one.

Mule88 · Jun 18, 2012

If they could make one run reliable id buy one in a heartbeat.
