At the LGS today and they had two MP 15 22lr's cool right. I was filling out paper work for one and I couldn't help it I bought them both I've been folowing this forum for a week now and am totally hyped on building up one. Well... it looks like I'll be building 2. Kinda cool though I'll be able to build them both totally different. I've heard its addicting though........ sooooooooo.... let the fun begin!

Oh yeah. Any suggestions....

Look through the pictures section to get any ideas on how you want them to look. Buy 22 ammo when you can find it. Check out the product review threads whenever they are posted, especially if it is something that you like and want to put on your guns. Most of all- be safe and have fun!

Have some ammo already CCI minimag,,,,Blazer,,,,, Remington golden,,,,,and Federal auto match. I heard CCI is good but I only have a little. Lots of Blazer and Remington though.

Congrats on the new purchases!

Personally I prefer the Blazers myself. They'll feed in all of our .22's except the Mosquito.

Congrats! Stay away from the Remington Gold, though. I think even the owner's manual recommends against it.

I would use the Kiss principle on one of them... meaning keep it stupid simple. Remember this every item you add on add's extra weight. This will not be as major a issue with the M&P 15-22 as it is with the M&P 15. Still its something to keep in mind while your setting them up.

Also as far as Idea's go I would set one up for long range bench shooting 100yards are more. The other I would setup for close range shooting maybe 50-100 yards.

Basically scope one red dot one add a bipod throw a single point sling on the other. I am sure you get where I am going.

All my 22's love CCI Blazer ammo and I rarely have duds its seems to be the same quality as CCI Mini Mag.

Thanks for the input. After browsing some pics I am realizing the vast amount of options. Wow.

The options are crazy out there thats why I said keep one kiss. I could easily see adding 5lbs on to the rifle right out of the box. Adding a rail, optics, new butt stock, maybe a different grip, charging handle.

I am sure something like this must weight a extra 20-30lbs

I love that picture!

Ha ha ha! Is that fur on the stock? LMAO!

Congrats and Welcome from Arkansas. Keep it simple; I have read some many stories of cool stuff being purchased, tried out, then put in a drawer never to see the light of day again.

Buy a good case to carry them in, buy extra mags then buy some more your going to need them.
