M&P 15-22 Performance Center Model

[Dragon88]

Sounds like he had an OOB, disregarded it and kept shooting.

The PC 15-22 has gotten mixed reviews on here, mainly due to the cost and marginal or non-existent improvement in accuracy over the standard model.

There is more reason than just price to buy a 15-22.

well for a start its not mil spec the spikes is, no doubt the new pc is sweet just saying for the price theres better out there good thing about the other m&p15-22s is the price

Well, there is more good about the 15-22 than just the price. I have heard that Spikes is not currently marketing their .22 at this time. You might want to look into why, I'm not going there

We've long had a 15-22 and love it. Up till recently it has been the ONLY.22 AR that implements the full AR15 manual of arms (except forward assist). I've also had a CMMG .22 (one of the mil-spec conversions, with dedicated upper). It is the closest so far; I could write a long novel about it, but in general the BHO device and upper/bolt design rock, their mags suck. I am currently running mine with massive mods to allow full use of our 15-22 mags (Last shot BHO and everything work perfect, using the 15-22 mags).

Working bolt catch (you can use a CMMG BHO adapter, or the just introduced Catch22, I have both). Last shot bolt hold open? Not on a Spikes. Well you could use a CMMG BHO on a Spikes upper, but until the Gen 2 CMMG BHO Mags come out (it's been next month for several months), you either have horrible mags or no last round bolt hold open. This has all always worked on the 15-22.

To me, the 15-22 is a reasonably priced full function .22 AR. The only one so far. Spikes makes really great looking partial function conversions. And I don't think they even sell them any more. If you want to be able to swap with mil-spec upper and lowers, look at CMMG, but understand you are entering the world of not quite done yet.

The 15-22 is full function and works. Now. Thats the great thing about it. Thats why we got ours shortly after it came out. If I had know what a mess the conversion world (the "mil-spec" world) was, I would have purchased a 2nd 15-22 rather than my CMMG. I've never considered a Spikes, to much cost, too little function.

If you want accuracy in a .22 AR, look at CMMG's option for Clint Beyer barrels. Once again CMMG rocks, but the current BHO mags suck.

M&P 15-22 Performance Center

They are 2 styles of Performance Center 22,s under M&P Rifles on the Smith and Wesson website,,not under the performance center section..One has a fixed stock and the other one an adjustable stock. I shoot 1-11/2 groups at 40-50 yds with my M&P 15-22 A-1 Comp style..i spray Breakfree CLP around the chamber area,clean the bolt good and oil it with RedOil...Marine Corp shooting team oil,,but a coat of breakfree does good on the bolt,,coat with breakfree the bolt chamber,trigger section,blow out with air hose...i have 3-12 Simmons 50mm scope and tripod,nothing fancy,,,prob going on 6k-7k rounds with very little trouble..Fun to shoot and easy to breakdown and clean...i have a savage bull barrel but would rather shoot my M&P...i have the scope mounted on a AR carrying handle because i like my scope uphigh..it works for me..

I was interested in the 10 round performance center, or MOE models but S & w only list one part no. 811032 as california compliant. Why is that? I thought the "evil features" only applied to centerfire AR's. Does the cat no. 811032 have a bullet button?

Performance center 15-22

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.

i bought one last week ..if i can learn how to post pics i will..lol

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

This is not the Performance center 15-22,i have a A-1 style and a Performance Center 15-22...the performance center model number is 170335..the A-1 style model number is 811033..Both model numbers can be found in the M&P Rifle section
