M&P 15-22 Picture Thread

[Just another 22 shooter]

huntsman22, That is a great looking pair of 22s. 2 of the most fun shooters I know of, the 39 and the 1522. That has to be a hard choice of which one to grab! I'm guessing the 39 is a bit more accurate, but the 1522 can definitely fill the air with more lead.

My Offering

Here is my 15-22. Simple, but its what I have.

I have added a Sight Mark optical sight, UTG carry handle, hogue grip, Midwest Industries front sling mount, and butt pad, plus UTG rail covers. Not much modification but it makes it mine.

I like the simple look especially that carry handle. Make sure you get some extra mags they are a must

Carry Handle

The handle is from UTG (Leapers) and is one of the cheapest I found. I paid 30.00 and after I got it I found it even less expensive. It is really well built and solid. The reviews I read on it before purchasing were almost all five star. I really like it, for those looking for one, I would get this again in a heartbeat.

just curious as to why a butt pad with a .22lr?

am I missing something?

I've got a UTG buttpad on my 15-22 (FDE) mainly because the plug of the "buffer" tube kept coming off. Once I got it on I liked the fit against my shoulder better than the stock.

I confess...

And well you should be curious! I have super sensitive shoulders. No, really it was for my wife and grand kids who didn't like the hardness of the original stock. I like it because you can keep stuff in it. There isn't enough recoil to warrant having it, but it keeps other shooters in my family happy. And it really does fit better, and not so slippery.

Three reasons having nothing to do with recoil:
1. protect butt
2. keep from losing what's stored in the tube when the rubber plug falls out
3. some of us need longer butt stocks, so the butt pad helps a little.

Tried a snakeskin camo paint job. Crappy pictures but I like it.

Spray tan? Like what the bimbos use?

I got this idea from another forum:

"All you need to do a snakeskin pattern is about a 1'x1' square of mesh and the spraypaint of your choice. We use Krylon in my unit because it dries quickly and fades naturally over time.

As for mesh...the smaller the pores, the better. I have a bunch of sniper veils sitting around so I always use those. I see a lot of guys using very large holes in their mesh and I've found that this doesn't work very well for the sake of camouflage, but it *might* enhance cool points.

Lightly and evenly lay down your base coat. If you're doing a desert camo, I recommend 3 colors: tan, brown, and an OD green. Lay down a base coat of tan. For the "scales", place the mesh against the weapon and hold the can about 6-8 inches away. Lightly spray in a diagonal motion and occasionally widen the pattern so as to not have totally straight lines. Avoid vertical/horizontal as very few things in nature are perfectly straight. The whole point of camo is to break up the shape of your object, so space out your "scales" unevenly and just wing it. You'll know what feels right when you do it.

Put down the brown scales first, then hit the rifle with a few stripes of green to accent the brown. For every 3 pieces of brown do 1 small patch of green.

It's really easy and takes about 20 minutes total to camo a rifle. I used to hang my M4 from a coat hangar and spray it down in a grand total of 10 minutes once a month while I was deployed.

Good luck, and have fun with it. "

I used a bag from some clemantine oranges...

It's not timed correctly but it's on there.

 

[shawnr5]

If it uses the same vortex principle as the Smith, it shouldn't need to be timed. I'm running the Smith Vortex on mine (gotta support the local companies) and it just gets hand-tightened, no crush or peel washer needed. The vortex design forces the gases to keep it tight. 22LR might not provide enough escaping gas, but mine hasn't worked loose yet.

Well, mine arrived today. Rifle was full of cardboard dust. Used to manage a gun shop and never saw a dirtier "new" rifle.

you should take before/after pics and send a snotty email to the supplier you got it from.

dirty vs cleaned.
it's really not rocket science to put the gun in a crappy/cheap plastic bag.

Smith and Wesson doesn't provide a bag.

You're supposed to thoroughly clean a factory new gun before firing anyway.
