M&P 15 22 Manufacturing Date

[AMSHD1]

New to this Forum and looking for some help. Looking at adding a M&P 15 22 to the collection. I am looking at a used one with MAGPUL M-LOK, MAGPUL MBUS Folding Sights and grip.

Trying to tell what year it was made serial number is DEN1XXX.

Cant find any info on line.

Thanks
Tony

went back to take another look at the M&P 15 22. Looks like this is a M&P Sport MOE version. Maybe made after 2016. Overall look's like it is in good shape. One thing that concerns me are a couple of minor rust spots on outside of barrel below flash suppressor. looks like surface only. Shop/range has not test fired. Asking 299.00 Thinking this sounds like a pretty good deal for a used M&P 15 22. Would like to know what the group thinks.

I can't really answer the year of manufacture part, but I would thoroughly inspect that rifle before going through with the 4473. Depending on the condition of the bore and such I think in this climate 299$ would be a fair price.

I plan to go back on the next day or two and take a better look inside the barrel. I did break it open looked clean. I know there was a safety alert a couple of years ago that you need a gauge to check the bolt face? Is there anything I shoudl be on the look out for.

I remember the recall from a couple of years ago and the gauge S&W sent out were made out of a thin sheet metal. I believe if you search this forum you will find the exact measurements and therefore the gauge is not needed.

Other than that I do not believe there is anything else in particular that you need to keep an eye out for. Just do your typical inspection like any other firearm and hopefully you walk out with a new rifle!
