Changes to the MP 15-22 coming?

I just ordered one from Gallery of Guns. They had them on Sale. I don't normaly purchase from GOG, as their prices are high.

I wanted a 15-22 with mbus sights, and I was watching their MOE versions for one to come on sale.

I liked this sport version, I didn't care what kind of butstock it had.

Right now this thread is about the only place that has any kind of information on this new variant. I did call S&W and talked to one of their customer service people. They stated the basis 15-22 has not changed, just the furniture package.
 
I think your right I just got mine the other day and the dealer told me they were trying to get rid of all of their old stock.
List for mine was $515.00 (S&W list price) I paid $399.00.
 
Looks like they got rid of the rail on the bottom and sides and put something you can hold onto with your hands.
 
New M&P AR15-22 Sport

Yesterday I picked up the new M&P AR15-22 Sport that I have ordered through GoG. This is the new Model SKU 10208. It was the first one that my local dealer had ever seen and they were impressed, as was I.

The differences that I can see from the standard model:

- MBUS sights

- The new Magpul-type M-LOK 10" hand guard, and a 2" M-LOK rail panel that allows you to mount an accessory anywhere you want. It still has the standard rail on top. According to Magpul, they are migrating from MOE to the M-LOK system that has slots where you can put accessories about anywhere you want.

- There is a threaded barrel and flash suppressor that the standard version does not have

- The MSRP is $449 vs $449 for standard

Can't wait to shoot this thang as soon as the wind dies down a little bit here on the high mesa.
 
Thanks for the update.
What is the M&P AR15-22 Sport? I only see the M&P 15-22 SPORT in a few different variations.
The flash hider looks like the standard A2 style they have on all their standard barrels.
But not their (standard) or (compliant) models
$799 "down" to $449
 
Ar15-22

I was comparing the Sport to the standard model sku 811030. You are right, other models besides the Sport have the flash suppressors but the MSRP for those start at $519. I only see a couple of Sport versions for now, the new type I bought plus a compliant one and a camo version, but I couldn't find the camo in stock anywhere.
 
I bought one of the "new" MP 15-22s with the Magpul MLok rail.

The rail is plastic, comes with 1 picatinny rail section, and does, indeed, have a similar cap at the front like the older versions.

Magpul MBUIS sights come mounted up.

Otherwise, it appears to be identical to previous versions.
 
I ordered one yesterday off buds for 368 (new style sport) with free shipping. I also ordered the M&P 22lr Pistol from a local shop here for 284. Figured both will serve as plinking/training tools. I had the colt ar22 when it came out and it has been the biggest *** I have ever owned. I wanted to get another 22lr AR but was worried about the same issues I had with the colt. Glad to see everyone like the 15-22.
 
What is the difference between the sport and the performance center version?
And are they worth the $$?

Thank you, is it worth the $$ for those upgrades over the sport?

Depends. If those are the parts you want on your 15-22, then yes.

Not knowing who's trigger they are putting in there or how much accuracy is improved over the standard barrel...I can't make a truly informed decision.
