M&P 15-22 Picture Thread

[idbstyler]

I have to say the UTG Bipod is very sturdy. Everything functions on it like it's suppose to. Next week I'm going to try it on my 223 and see how it olds up. I am very impressed with the it though. I got it for $30 flat at a gun show 3 weeks ago. It's very well made. I couldn't see myself buying anything else, especially for the price.

and for the magazines, I just bought some Krylon Ultra Flat Tan spray paint in a can. I just sprayed it on with OUT and special tip. It turned out very well. In person you can tell there is a SLIGHT difference(i mean its hard to tell) in colors. It's a little lighter than the Magpul Dark Earth. I took apart the magazines, and I did wipe them down pretty good. Then I did like 2-3 coats. I only painted the magazine high enough so no black would be seen when the magazine was in the rifle. I didn't want any feeding issues or any problems withe the mag not going in easily. It only takes like 15 mins to dry. This is the inexpensive way of doing it. If you wanna go more expensive and maybe a little better quality google "duracoat in magpul flat dark earth". It should take you to a website called houtsenterprises.net. Look through the quick guide and you will find a few ways of doing it. If you have anymore questions feel free to pm.

idb,

Very cool. I've got a friend that has the PS 22 red dot sight and loves it too. Especially for the price.

How sturdy is your UTG stock when shooting with the legs fully extended. I'm hearing mixed reviews and want to know how yours is behaving.

Also, I seem to recall that you (or someone) described somewhere in the forum how you painted your mag to match the desert tan polymer look. Could you post that again or point me to where it is?

Thanks.

what did you use to paint your mag? Brand, color, item number, specifics please.

Here's mine to date. Don't know if I'll make any other additions but...there are just too many goodies out there!!

Here's my rilfe after some painting. Has anyone had any issues with the paint rubbing inside the mag well. It's a little snug but nothing to hamper any functions. I think the next mag I paint I'll tape up right above the seond rib from the top of the mag. Otherwise I think It's worth the 4 bucks rather than buying another set of everything. I guess I'll getting around to doing the stock sooner or later.

I'm playing with the idea of painting my 22 (Krylon), but I'm concerned if the paint will chip off it great lumps due to the receiver material. Anyone painted their receivers yet?

Oh and to keep it on topic, here's mine in it's current configuration:

Been reading the threads on this forum for a few months now, helped me out a ton from buying to shooting my now 1 month old M&P 15-22, just want to pass along a general thank you to all who contribute on a regular basis.....I had many of the same common problems that I have seen reported, (FTE, FTF) and with the videos and tips on here (and now about 1000 rounds to break it in) the shooting is great....still have an occasional issue, but mainly due to not loading the mag correctly, or because of the ammo. Went back to the range today to try out a few tweaks and compare a few brands of ammo (bulk Winchester, bulk Remington, and CCI Mini Mags....could not find a box of bulk Federal, local Wal-Mart was sold out)....but after shooting today I figured I would go a head and add a few comments for the first time, and include a pic.

So far have added a TruGLO red/green dot 1x magnification site (got it in the bargain cave at Cabela's after much searching and reading, the value is what made my mind up, and it works great), carry strap with swivel and fore grip (grip and swivel were government issue left overs that might have accidentally come home with a military friend of mine). Really like the set up as I have it, shoots great, the CCI were the most reliable rounds but the Winchester were by far the most accurate ( less than a 1.5" group at 25 yd)...thinking about adding flip up sites, but now sure that I really need them with the way the TruGLO works.

Anybody have any recommendations on what their favorite/best add on has been?

 

[macnamara]

Schmidt, I'd throw some sort of BUIS on there. The MAGPUL MBUS seem very popular and also a cheap option (I'm even considering changing out my ARMS one for a complete set of them).

My fave add-on has been the stock I put on. Although it will change in the future, I say it's my fave as the stock one that came with the gun wobbled.

 

[BKGInc]

Here's mine..........so far I love it!

 

[HokiePS7]

Here's mine. Virginal right out of the box. She won't look like this for long. Already ordered a Primary Arms M3, Magpul XTMs, and Magpul RVG grip. Will finish her off with some more Magpul goodies when I get some more fundage at the end of the month (Magpul MOE grip and stock and MBUS).

 

[KaiDoi]

Not the best pic. Nonetheless, here she is. Two weeks old this coming Friday. Waiting for the Larue index clips and that will be it for awhile.

Installed a JP spring kit, yesterday. I like the trigger pull, which the spring kit affords.
