I have never had any issues with my S&W guns. My first S&W purchase was 1981. It was a model 686, which was followed by a model 629. To this day, they have been trouble free.

Unfortunately, from some of the comments that I have read, S&W may now have some QC issues, which they may be either under staffed or overwhelmed to handle.

No problems. I came here because of the Midwest Industries sling adapter plate thread.

 

[gohtar]

[Slowhanddd]

Was and is working just fine.

 

[PensFan-Drew]

My 15-22 works great. Haven't had any problems yet with it and I'm not expecting to have any. The thing shoots clean and I absolutely love it. If I had some extra bills I would definately buy 1 or 2 more. Heck, maybe 3

I came to this forum when i seen the 15-22 at a big-5 store, wanted to do the homework before i buy one, read the issues they were having (hit and miss) still me and a friend got one at the same time S# were 4000+ numbers off from each other still DTX, mine was the newer one. we went shooting mine worked 100% his would FTE every other round or so know matter what ammo you put in it.

I voted C, but was poking around before I bought my rifle. I bought it in part because of this forum and posters.

Hey Phil,
You need to put a "D" Option in there for those of us that had not owned a MP 15-22 and were researching the pros & cons of a new prospective purchase.

But after I got bought the MP 15-22 I seemed to had gotten a bad egg
S&W Made it Right as Rain for me tho

Would buy it all over again.

 

[kilo6echo]

No issues here. It eats ammo like skittles

 

[chuck s]

A. 300+ rounds without a hiccup other than occasional feed problems. Then the dreaded out of battery firing sent the extractor somewhere. Two weeks later the rifle was back from S&W. Another 1500-ish rounds with only one or two failures to feed, no other problems.

Have never had a problem with my 15-22 A1 from the day I brought it home and cleaned it and hit the local range. After 4000 rounds plus. Still eating any .22LR ammo I can feed it flawlessly! Even the Remington ones. Relax not what I normally shoot but just had to try them to see.

 

[boltman]

I joined before I bought mine to get answers and options to making it a great little plinker/squirrel rifle.

 

[chessail 77]

Mine is working great with a few fte issues, (1) in every 300 rds or so...I have even taken rounds other rifles didn't fire and shot them and every one fired cleanly...

 

[janizary]

B - So far

 

[falling water]

B-No problems from day one, and having a blast with this fine rifle.

Are ya'll clicking the poll?

 

[rhassick1]

My answer would be "C". Was having some FTE but that seems to be resolved with a few tweaks to the ejector. Other than that I have been using the forum to learn about trigger springs, forend removal, etc.

 

[M4J0R T0M]

"C"

You guys saved my gun, my life, and my marriage. I'm here to stay!

 

[REDHORSE]

Almost 40% of the voters are showing some sort of "problem". I'm curious how many of the A and C voters enjoy the rifle and feel satisfied with it and S&W.
I feel lucky to be a very satisfied B voter/customer. This little rifle's WAY too much fun when it's operating like a champ.
I wish the A and C folks the best of luck.

 

[Zeropointeffect]

No problems, actually this forum convinced me to purchase the 15-22.

I just took her out today ran about 400 rounds of fed bulk pack through her and not one single issue (besides me learning to shoot, it's my first rifle). I also bought a S&W 22a with a bull barrel it had about a 100 rounds through it and not one issue.

Quick thanks to every one for the info. The 15-22 is very fun to shoot and it's going to get me to the rage a lot more often.

Only one problem, I go to a range with mostly older guys and they kinda chuckled at it , that is till my first ten rounds ever from a rifle hit the X at 25 yards.

 

[SmithieNL]

great forum

I still have no problems with my 15-22 but come here to ask advise from members here like wanted a bipod but thought the Harris was a lil expensive so I was pointed out on the UTG bipods orders them thru dutch importer and the are swell so a big thank you for the forum here would be inplace.

THANK YOU

I came to this site because I was planning to purchase a 15-22. Almost scared me, but bought one and love it. No problems.

 

[gwalsh]

No problems since purchase and/or posting on forums.

 

[Carry a .50ae]

I have had mine for a few months now, take it out every few weekends and it shoots great.

 

[tazyo]

No problems with mine since I bought it. Just fed 200 rounds on it today with no problems. Been using CCI but I'm gonna try to use Federal next weekend and see what happens
