M&P-15 22 Accessories

[wscruiser]

My question for you is after you adjusted the Red Dot on your pistol. Do you really believe it made the pistol quite a bit more accurate?

The reason I'm asking is I've never added any kind of a scope to any of the pistols I have. If you say the pistol scope combination is much better than the factory sights? I'm going to give it a try. At this point what do I really have to loose? I mean I already have the scope and also have one or two of my pistols that a scope can be mounted on.

I guess it all depends on how you define accurate.

I use the pistol for rapid fire target shooting. The red dot allows me to quickly put the target into my shooting zone. I usually hit the object that I'm shooting at, but you may be talking about a 1 sq ft area. Hitting the target is the object, it doesn't have to be a dead center shot. The max distance per shot is short, maybe 45 ft at the most.

If you are wanting hunt or need to hit dead center then I would go with a "cross hair" type scope.

But, you have the scope, you have a couple of pistols that you can mount it on. Heck, try it out. It make plinking more fun.

Thanks for the pics Dave! I did it just like you did. Mine has a Strike Fire sight on it. I guess Smith will at some point start offering accesseries for these. Thanks again & great pics!!

I just bought the mp15 .22 about a week ago also. No problems with it at all. I've read through this thread and no ones really commented on this item:

ZAHAL -FAB Tactical Foregrip Bipod

Is that because its a foreign product, or is it no good really? I really like the looks of it and it solves pretty much my foregrip and bipod search problem.

Also searching for a scope for the gun, but I am not sure if that's even the right terminology. I see the normal, long, rifle scopes on OpticsPlanet, but also the red dot, reflex, and shorter scopes. Any guidance for a beginner buy would be great. Looking to spend around $200 for one.

Thanks!

Here is a picture of my 15-22 with accessories.

I opted for an inexpensive Tasco Red Dot. It works great for my use.

Weaver scope mount rail.

Mako tactical folding verticle foregrip and Mako magazine well grip. Both from Cheaper than Dirt.

far as a scope goes, heres the one i ordered
3-9x42 COMPACT TACTICAL SCOPE W RINGS, WP&FP RIFLESCOPE - eBay (item 230338680197 end time Oct-18-09 15:44:04 PDT)

Its longer than the Red Dot scopes are, which is about 6.1". The on i ordered is 9.8" so i dunno how it will look, i try it on the gun, see how it looks, and send it back if i dont like it, dont cost anything to send it back. Seller pays shipping both ways.

 

[TxShooter2k9]

can i get a carry handle for this, any help would be appreciated.

 

[cowboydave]

I haven't tried it but I think a carry handle would mount right on the rail on top.

[TxShooter2k9]

maybe so, i dont know much about em, i know most say fit on flattop ar's. Im still looking into it.

 

[Gunzilla]

If the rails are the same size as the typical M4/ar15 any carry handle will fit. Check gunbroker.com or ebay they usually have them up for auction, and prices will range from about $50 to $100 depending on the style you get. Rock River Arms has a few different styles to choose from.

Thanks for the info.

Looks good on the 15-22.

27 Beck, I appreciate your quick response. I was afraid you were going to say you had the barrel threaded. My only fear doing that is the warranty right now. If I had the barrel threaded and then had some warranty issue, I wonder if that would give S&W a way out of honoring their commitment?
Being I just took it out for it's first spin yesterday I might wait until I'm satisfied the rifle is fairly solid before having the threads cut into it.

I'd love to see a picture of yours, it might even motivate me into getting it done quicker? I had several people asking if this was indeed the M&P .22 everyone has been talking about? When I told them yes, they started talking like they were going to the local gun shop and ordering one for them-self. But one did point out the barrel was naked looking (go figure) without something on the end? I told him I'd seen one with a fake suppressor can on the end, but I wanted a flash hider on mine. The general consensus was they loved the rifle.

But I do appreciate your help. And I look forward to the photo of your rifle. Thanks.

Took me longer than I had intended to get these pics up.

My 15-22 is currently at S&W for replacement of a missing extractor. We will see if the flash suppressor interferes with warranty fixes.

S&W M&P 15-22 with barrel threaded and flash suppressor added.

Barska Electro Sight 4x28

Has anyone tried the cheap Barska Electro Sight: 4x28? Reviews?

Tapco Composite Rail Riser

For those of you adding scopes...

Got a Tapco 'composite' rail riser today.

3/4 inch rise. 5 1/2 inch long. Non see-thru

Full length clamp bar (rather than just small tabs that are on many risers).

Large composite head thumb screws. And much to my surprise, they have added internal tension springs so when you loosen the thumb screws the clamp bar moves straight out too (rather than hanging and snagging the rail as you try to remove as many other risers typically do)

Rock solid mount.

Finish matches 15-22 perfectly

is the holographic type sight? If so i believe i read some reviews on it on Opticsplanet.com, and they where not good, people said if your changed the rectical on it, you had to rezero it each time you changed.

Actually, I do have a holographic sight. There's a pic of it on my rifle in the "Pictures" thread. It's a Sightmark reflex. Out of the box it is a perfect co-witness with the factory S&W sights. The red dot (there are four different rectiles to chose from) displays right on top of the front sight. I have had it on and off the rifle a few times and it always holds zero. Some say that the Sightmark can hold up to center fire ammo, but I highly doubt it.

Now that I have the Tapco riser, I've mounted a 3-9x scope. The 3/4 inch riser allows me to use the scope without mashing my face into the stock.

Speaking of "factory" S&W sights... has anyone seen the UTG removable sights? Looks like S&W may have been shopping from the UTG parts bin to build their 15-22.

Anyway.... I'm going to get a UTG flip-up rear sight. It should just slide under the 3-9x scope.
