M&P-15 22 Accessories

[revhigh]

Forgive me, but that's a little too much for me. I think people are predisposed to hang on every available option that becomes available, and it ends up making the gun look silly, especially with the gun just being an average shooting 22 auto. If someone really needed all those doo-dads on a function built .308 to be used in the military .... well ... OK, but, I've never really seen many of those type of rifles festooned with all kinds of junk, either.

Having said that, it's only my opinion ... to each his own, and if that trips your trigger, I say go for it. The only plans for mine are a nice sling and a REAL flash hider, which I agree really has no functional use, but I just think the barrel looks very unfinished the way it is, and almost too short as well.

No disrespect intended, but sometimes less is more.

With a whopping 4 feet of rail space.... I'm pretty sure you're right about people being predisposed to hang a lot of options on their 15-22. I doubt many folks purchased the rifle for the pleasure of adorning it with rail covers. Though, I do have some Larue clips on the way. (Thanks Maxicooper)

I don't understand what you mean: 'ESPECIALLY with the gun just being an average shooting 22 auto' ?

I agree, the 15-22 is just an average shooting 22 (maybe not even that good). But if the 15-22 isn't the ideal 22 to be "festooned with all kinds of junk", then what 22 rifle is? I mean... If I showed up at the range with my Savage bolt action outfitted with a bunch of lasers, red dots, flashlights and various junk I'd be laughed off the range...

A man can go CRAZY and BROKE outfitting a 15-22, just ask my wife so far.

Magpul Miad grip
Tapco adj stock(to be replaced with a Magpul mil-spec)
3-9x32 scope Center Point (replacing w/ Barska 1x30 red dot)
Grippod Bi-pod
Ergo rail covers

All in Flat Dark Earth hell i even painted the scope rings, still have a sling to put on,Flash hider(when i can get the barrel threaded)and get a Tactical bag, if anyone see something else i can do for it plz let me know, My wife wonders when and if i get done if we will be able to still eat (i can stand to lose a few pounds)

I know if no pics it hasn't been done as some one said in a early post as so i i learn how to i will post pics

 

[springfield.45]

OOPS!!! last line to say AS SOON I LEARN

Da junker a la mode

My next junk add-on will be one of those large green lasers like Barska or Primary Ams sells. I'm gonna mount it on the top rail and have my gun guy put a square hole thru my front sight so the laser goes thru it. I got some Larue clips on the way that should help with routing the pressure switch wire.

I put a hogue grip on which made a huge difference. I just ordered the command arms 3 way folding vertical grip from cabelas. Need to find a sling I like and it will be finished. By the way, cabelas has federal bulk in stock right now for a good price and a free dry box. Federal apparently shoots well in these rifles.

If I showed up at the range even with a 15-22 outfitted with a bunch of lasers, red dots, flashlights and various junk I'd be laughed off the range as well ... not saying it's not OK to do if it turns YOU on, but I couldn't do it. LOL.

Now ... if it was a serious rifle, it would be a lot more palatable ... these 15-22's are very nice plinkers, and a riot to shoot, and I really like mine, but they don't seem to have the accuracy that was originally reported from what I've seen.

No pics yet, but i did add a Viridian Green laser to my 15-22 last night, took it off my pistol.

 

[Milanfire2]

I dont want all that for my 15-22, got extra mags now just a nice sling.Then I will be happy (maybe).

Realisticly, All that picture shows is a different grip and stock, and then a scope added. Put aside the fact that the stock in the picture is not compatible with the 15/22, he didn't really hang anything out of the ordinary on it. The Magpul PRS (pictured) is a fantastic stock, and would be great on this rifle if it was to be/could be used for a target gun. I don't care for target pistol grips, but to each his own.

Personally, I think this little rifle just begs for a Magpul CTR, ACS or a Vltor modstock. I can't stand the standard AR-15 grip, (have really big hands, and the trigger reach is a problem), so I switch out all the pistol grips to the MIAD grip with the large backstrap.

But if you are speaking of white lights, lasers, and all the other crap that will find it's way onto the quad rail on this rifle, I agree, it's more or less a waste. With one exception. If you use this rifle as a substitute for your regular AR for training purposes to keep costs down, it should be configured very similar if not exactly the same size as your regular AR. But for real world applications, they are pretty much useless.

Thanks Thomas. I have a laser on mine just because its fun to shoot things with. Just point and shoot.

Hello everyone, just signed up here at S&W Forum as I wanted to show off my 15-22 as well as ask a few questions. First of, is it possible to replace the stock on the 15-22? If so, how do you do it? I can't figure it out as it all seems to be part of the lower receiver and is not like a standard AR.

I will post pics soon, but here is the list of accessories so far:

-Hogue Pistol Grip
-GripPod Foregrip/BiPod
-MagPul Full Profile Rail Covers
-Leupold Rifleman 2x7 Scope
-Leupold High Scope Rings, Matte
-MagPul Front Swivel Sling Adapter


Due to the fact that the stock does not appear removable, I can't use the BlackHawk Single-Point Sling Adapter (at least not as it's supposed to be used), but I think I can still use the sling.

Stock removable. Tube isn't. Pull all the way down on the position lever and slide it off. True, can't use the sling adapter... unless you want it spinning around.... cause there's nothing to hold it in place.

Congrats on your 15-22.

The stock IS removable. Instead of pulling up to shorten/lengthen the stock, pull all the way down on the lever. Stock will come right off. Takes a mil-spec replacement.

There's really nothing serious about the 15-22 as far as I'm concerned. The rifle was purchased for entertainment. It's like having a Christmas tree... it's fun to hang ornaments on.

I agree with you about accuracy. I've had several 22s over the years. The 15-22 is by far the least accurate, most expensive NIB, and most fun to shoot at cans. Even with knowing all the reported problems these rifles suffer.... I'd buy it again.

Mod Madness

Here's my 15-22 with a Hogue free float handguard. Yankee Hill flash Supp. And QD Tactical scope. Next is MagPul grip and stock to match my MOE M&P 15. When will this madness end????
I have had great results with Mini Mag and stingers. It sounds like any of the high velocity, high powered rounds work better. WW Federal bulk functioned flawlessly, but performed, well, not so much. The "golden" should be labeled crappen. They used to be fine in the 10/22, but not anymore. The 15-22 hated them. I will try them again when I hear better things. Gonna try vipers next. They worked AWSOME in my 10/22. The bunnies had no chance.
Loading the mag is key too. Always have some down pressure when loading. Never let the bullets not be under a little pressure. Use the guide button to just barely help load. Somebody has got to come up with a mag loader. Let's let Shooters Ridge and Butler Creek know we want them. Maybe a new company will fill the void?

15-22 With Viridian Green Laser

Just added a Viridian Green laser to my 15-22 last night, i had it on a 9mm pistol i never shoot, so stuck it on my 15-22, fit great, just gotta sight it in.

So I'm assuming that something like this would work?

Manic is your scope on a riser or the rail it's self. getting a Barska that looks like yours and was wondering if there was going to be a height issue
