Never heard of a "performance center" 15-22. They have two versions (or more?) of the 5.56 M&P15, is that what you are thinking of? Or is this something new?

The owners manual refers to the PC 15-22 and says not to use Stingers in them as they have a tighter, match chamber; Stingers are ok to use in the standard 15-22.

So is the "Performance Center" 15-22 made of better plastic?

I took the sku # from lipseys and then searched the S&W performance center site. No such animal as far as i can tell. Also, the 15-22 standard is advertised as having a match barrel. " M&P15-22
The M&P15 rifle line has expanded to now include the new M&P15-22. Chambered in .22LR, the M&P15-22 rifle is built with high strength polymer upper and lower receivers. This creates a reduced weight rifle that retains the looks and operating features of the standard M&P rifle.
1. 6 Position Collapsible Stock
2. Functioning Charging Handle
3. Adjustable Rear and Front Sights
4. Two-Position Receiver Mounted Safety Selector
5. Cartridge Case Deflector
6. Bolt Catch
7. Recessed Magazine Release Button
8. High Strength Polymer Magazine
9. Light Weight, High Strength Polymer Quad Rail Handguard
10. Match Grade Precision Barrel" This info is from S&W's site.
I just bought the MOE 15-22 for a lot less than almost $800 and it is sweet.
I think that it's just a typo in the ad perhaps.
Let me know if I'm shooting flyers here.

Maybe it comes with a prepaid return sticker so you dont have to call them when it has to go back.

Actually they went a step further and shot it at the Performance Center until it had an OOB. That way it's already blown up and been repaired, saves you the hassle. Well at least for the first OOB.

It's designed to be more accurate for those who'd be using the rifle in competitions. Due to the change in chamber, it cannot run CCI Stingers. Maybe it'll turn it into a tack-driver....I know I'd like one, but for the price, my MOE fits the bill nicely. I can deal with my groups bein 1/2 inch to an inch bigger.

What is this "Laney Match Chamber"? I can only find reference to centerfire rifles.

I tried to go the the S&W page to contact them for details that set this model apart, but with my dial-up crap speed internet, I couldn't even load the first page, haha. Anyone wanna hit them up to see what they say, or link them to this thread and they can answer our questions here...???
I just purchased one of these last night after specifically asking for the standard model. The model with the performance center is the Model A1 Style Comp version of the M&P15-22. In addition to having the Laney Match Chamber, it also has a A1-Style Compensator, which some of the models do not have. I have to say I was quite pissed off when I read that you can't use the CCI stingers in this model. The fact that the guy at the gun store not only sold me the wrong model but also sold me some stingers along with it has me a bit upset. The Laney Match Chamber in this model is going to give you better accuracy but less reliability according to my friend who is a gun expert. I am still undecided as to if I am going to keep this model or return it for the standard model. Here is the A1 model: Product: Model M&P15-22 - A1 Style Comp

Why "can it not shoot Stingers"?

Apparently the Laney Match Chamber will not accommodate the larger cases of the Stinger 22LR's. It specifically states through out the manual that if you use them it will destroy the chamber. All of the match chambers are built tighter. The smaller dimensions place the bullet exactly the same way every time which makes accuracy better. But they also have less room for error. If a bullet is over sized or is the gun gets dirty the chamber is too tight and the bullet won't chamber correctly. There is a list of suggested rounds for the gun in the manual. I am going to find out if I can use the CCI "velocitor" rounds with it. If I can't that might be a deal breaker for me. personally.
