Another extractor....

[UtahHunting]

My friend just got his 15-22 back from S&W. His extractor blew out after 70 rounds the first time around. Went out to shoot it and blew the new extractor out on the 3rd round.

I wonder if S&W is even looking for a fix for this. I am hearing and reading about it way to much. I am starting to wonder not if but WHEN mine is going to go. I love the gun but am really starting to doubt S&W and this rifle.

See that's what I'm worried about, getting mine back from S&W then go out and shoot it and blow again. Mine blew last weekend and S&W is sending a return label.

I've put several hundred rounds thru mine after the fix.

Is your 15-22 on it's 3rd or 4th extractor now?

Depends on who is counting

I've got 330 flawless rounds through mine so far but it's starting to sound like i'll have a nice wall hangar to put up over the fireplace before long.

I guess you have not heard the news. S&W CS has advised a 15-22 owner here that it's all the fault of the ammo manufacturers.

S&W said they will soon release a list of manufacturers that are approved to use in the 15-22 to eliminate OOBs. Rumor has it that the top two on the approval list are A-Zoom and Pachmary Snap Caps.

i got my 15-22 on Sept 4th, it jammed like heavy D, I didnt give it a chance to 'break'. So i took it back to where i got it 'Academy'. They mailed it off on the 8th. Got it back in October. Put over 500rds through it since, no problems. Hopefully stays that way. Good luck to all.

I was going to get a 15-22. But after all these horror stories I'll stick with my Nylon 66 it may not be (tactical) but it works 110%. Maybe Smith & Wesson should enclude a sack full of spare extractors & extractor springs with the two complementary magazines?

mine broke last friday and im still waiting on my shipping tag from smith&wesson.

Now's your Remington Nylon 66 holding up. I recall having one a loooooooooog time ago. Nothing but happy memories.

I wasn't kidding when I said I preordered a return shipping label right after I bought my rifle. It doesn't cost you anything to have them e-mail or snail mail it to you.

The first time around was on Federal bulk from walmart (the red box), second time around was the Winchester 333 pack.

I shot an entire bulk box of 333 with no trouble so it might just be something individual to each gun ? ... but it doesn't mean mine isn't a ticking time bomb. Still kinda skeptical till I get more rounds through it.

Mine just went back to the factory yesterday, hope they fix it quick and get it back to me.

Except for the fact that now they have your serial number and are waiting for it to return it for repairs. Waiting too long between when you cried wolf and maybe sending it in 6 months later if it does break they could claim you continued to ues the gun and did more damage and deny it all together. I'm just playing the Devil's advocate

Welcome aboard, Mr Ed.

I have forwarded your analysis to my attorney for further examination..... and to the guys at the range for giggles.

And to think... I just sold my vintage CBC Nylon66 to my co-worker along with my 7 round clip fed Marlin to buy this AR lookin thing! (It looks and feels the part, and it would seem with all the jams and such, it lives up to the reputation of a real AR)

Ahh well, I'm still happy I got it! I'm sure in the long run I will be happy with my M&P!
