Yeah, I was just saying that even with the stock in its shortest position, it's difficult to get the plug out.

You can get plugs similar to these at probably any hydraulics place that sells hoses and fittings. Only difference is they will probably be red or blue and wont have S&W on it. We get fittings all the time that come with them to protect the threads.

Define compliant. I live in California and my 15-22 has a threaded barrel, a collapsible stock, and a 10 round magazine.

Compliant generally means bare, unthreaded barrel and a pinned stock. The CA model isn't considered a "compliant" model. Your only restriction seems to be the 10-round magazine.

I would say the use of "compliant" around here might more reference the wording S&W uses in their product literature for certain model numbers. If you look at their catalog on 15-22's, the mark certain ones as "compliant" and then explain why that one gets that designator.
I, like you, live in CA and did not buy a specific "compliant" version as the only thing we needed was a 10rnd mag limit so all versions of the 15-22 could technically be made CA compliant.
S&W just designated some and sold some that way likely to make it easier on those wanting to buy and go the easy route and just get it with a fixed stock or non threaded barrel or with a shorty or blocked 10rnd mag. Me? I wanted a MOE and that did not come in a "compliant" version technically.

They, in fact, at one time did have a specific MOE "CA compliant" model number - I believe it was the 150877. Now you can find a current specifically listed "CA compliant" model 811062 - the key to this model just being the 30rnd capped to 10rnd mag.
Point is, it is sold as a "CA compliant" model made easy for the FFL and retailer and such, but not the only model you could make CA compliant.

Due to the AWB restrictions, non-compliant models cannot be sold in CT, MA, NJ or NY; we have NO choice. Even though there is no mag restriction here, we still get the crippled magazine. If someone wants an MOE model, one must outfit it as an aftermarket deal.

I was more addressing this statement "The CA model isn't considered a "compliant" model" - in fact, S&W does list it as a "CA Compliant" model. So, if you said you wanted a "CA compliant" 15-22 you could in fact buy just that from them. Model 811062.

Whatever you say. The fact is the ONLY thing "compliant" about the CA model is the crippled magazine. If you want to call that a "compliant' model, that's fine with me.
I'm not about to get into yet another argument with you simply because you get some perverse pleasure out of nic-picing over something that really doesn't matter. End of discussion.

I don't want to call it a "compliant" model... S&W calls it that man!!
read your posts, you are the obligatory pot calling the kettle black round here Majorik. It's rarely "the end of discussion" with you, you'll have more to say I'am sure.

Yes! I use my 15/22 as a kind of survial tool also.
I have a 033 with cap. Inside the tube is a samll Maglight Fashlight wrapped in duct tape. Can't ever have to much tape.
Also a very small bottle of CLP, and a cleaning cloth.
The Handgrip has a DPMS cap. It carrys a little bic lighter, and some wipes for fire starting. My VFG carrys 20 rounds of ammo where the batteries would go. All are water tight and go where the rifle goes.
If I was walking in the woods and something happened. I at least I would have a flashlight, a means to start a fire, and some extra ammo.
But thats just me. Let hear some other ideas on what to carry, in the three easy places to carry stuff. Also there are aftermarket butt stocks that will let you carry more stuff.

The thread we were discussing this in is getting sidetracked.
http://smith-wessonforum.com/smith-wesson-m-p-15-22/281767-new-owner-quiet-action-2.html
Some have the plug, and some don't. Maybe with this thread we can figure out what S&W was thinking.
Do the people who don't have the plug have any restrictions in their state? (no threaded barrels, no adjustable stocks, limited capacity mags)
I have a feeling S&W figured they don't need them on models with pinned stocks, so they just left them off all the restricted models period.
Mine is a (033) with no restrictions of any kind. Mine came with a plug.
That and why is it on the inside tube and not on the outside on the butt pad to keep stuff out or things in ?

It's not on the buttpad because the adjustability would prevent anything from being stored in it.

I think a bore snake would "ride" back there just fine.

I can store a bore snake in the tube just fine. No need for the buttplate to have a plug.
