my gun made its way home yesterday after having been gone for 4 weeks. I didn't get any free mags like alot of you have been reporting getting but my gun did come back absolutely flithy. I hope the flithy part means that it is functioning properly now. I'm going to the range for lunch today and will report back on the guns perfromance when I get back.
BTW...has anyone called S&W that didn't get free mags and ask for some? If so, did they give you any?

Glad you got the rifle back. Enjoy the shooting this afternoon. :D

Btw, try not to use the extractor busted rounds, you know what !!!. ;)

Have fun.
 
Glad you got your 15-22 back. Look forward to range report.

Free magazines were too good to last. Maybe a S&W resolution in 2010 no freebies?

I would call and demand them. The people who have had problems deserve them. I got 2 free mags. I would call them and tell them you would appreciate 2 mags like everybody else. If they say their out then say, " O.k, I would appreciate it if you would back order 2 for me, I am a valuable customer" This is one thing I believe strongly in. If I didn't get my 2 mags when they came, believe me they'd be getting a call from me. Seriously, How can you give to some and then not others. I see people on here saying they got no mags or 1 mag, ***? By the way, waiting for your range report. My post repair range report was outstanding, hope yours is.;)
 
After 8 days I just got mine back today. Mine was also very dirty, not just in the action but the whole gun, like a dusty material. I also did NOT receive any free mags. I do plan on calling smith and complaining (just to get the mags).

I am going to try to get it out tomorrow and see what it will do. I still have about 2500 rounds of "golden bombs" that I will put through it, yeah right!
 
follow up range report

well, I got the M&P 15-22 to the range during lunch like I planned. It is -20 here today so I only ran 5 mags full through the gun with a normal rate of fire and 2 mags as fast as I could pull the trigger. I used american eagle ammo. I'm very pleased to say that I didn't have no fte or ftf. The gun ate up every bit of ammo I fed it. It was a whole lot of fun blasting away with a gun that actaully functioned as advertised. I never knew how accurate this gun could be because of my first range experience. I was shooting soda cans at 75 yards with ease from the standing position.
I'm gonna call S&W to find out about the mags. I agree with Corporal Punishment, everyone should get at least 1 mag for their troubles and seeing that I waited 3x as long as most of you to get my gun back, I should get 2 mags!! :D

:eek:

It is possible that one of the reasons, my 15-22 runs without any problem for more than 2k round, is because I stop using the "Golden Bombs" since it showed first sign of protential problem. I stick with the rounds that work with my rifle.

Your 15-22, might be different though. :rolleyes:

Have fun !!! :)

Congrats. :D
 
Congrads!!!! on getting your 15-22 back and having fun with it, i went through the same thing back in September, when i had to send mine off. Been great ever since, they sent me a magazine, and even the manager at Academy where i got the gun at, gave me a 20 dollar hard plastic gun case for my 15-22, and also 2 100rd boxes of Winchester SuperSpeedRN ammo, all for my troubles.

Do me a favor and tell that manager about what I experienced and see if he'll give me some rounds and a case.:D:D:D:D:D:D
J/K...thanks.
 
Great I was just getting ready to send mine back (called in and got a tag shipped to me) because it's brand new and the mag catch is cracked. I of course figured I would get 2 mags for the fact that my brand new gun came with a busted component, but I guess I will get shafted on that as well.

....I guess it's good to know I'm not the only one to have that experience. Mine was gone for 3 weeks. It also came back dirty (almost like saw dust or something was over it), and I didn't get any extra mags.

I was so annoyed (because mine came broken out of the box - no feed ramp), that I called to ask for some free mags. The guy wouldn't budge. He said if others got free mags it was a mistake, because they don't do that.

Nice, rifle is a freakin blast when it's squared away. Good luck with the mags. Fair is Fair and you can't get anything if you don't ask. ;)

2009-2010-2011 doesn't mean anything. His rifle was probably made the same time as ours. He went through the same crap we did. I've come to expect things can't be " Perfect " but they should be damn close regardless of when they were made. TAke no **it ak. ;)

So I can't ask him a question? :confused: And I inquired as to when the 15-22 was repaired, not made.
