M&P 15-22 Results, Post 'em here. I got Mine!!

All right guys!

I adjusted the ejector inward and it now shoots federal bulk flawlessly!!!

Shoots just as accurate as day one9minus the jamming of course).

I just didn't have the courage to mess with the gun myself but finally I did it using my new favorite multitool.

MK7 designed tool: PocketToolX :: PIRANHA POCKET TOOL

I used the end with the two jaws, carefully placed it in between the chamber and the ejector and just slowly tweaked it.

I also used the ends and the wrench jaws to pop the pins in and out without damaging or scuffing the pins.

Sometimes those pesky pins can be a pain in the butt to remove by hands(especially being out in the cold shooting).

Thank you all!

Anyone happen to get the latest model with the flash suppressor?

Glad you were able to DIY. Pocket tool looks like an awesome item.

Some of the posters have been able to buy the 15-22 with the flash suppressor.

A poster reported that S&W would not update units already sold to have the threaded barrel and suppressor. :(
 
Put about 100 CCI Mini Mag round nose and hollow points through today with no problems. Put 50 Remington Thunderbolts through as well with only 1 failure to fire. So far after about 300 rounds I have only had one ftf. Hope it keeps up!!

I'm just going to have to take a chance and buy a second one! It'd be nice if they'd eventually sell just a barrel though, and spares like extractors, springs, and pins.

With as hot as these little guns are I can't believe their aren't others jumping on this yet.

Just imagine a tactical solutions barrel on this, lol.

I might say that I probably wouldn't buy any other barrel for this at all. I decided to slip on a red dot I had laying around and low and behold!! It works with the iron sights!

I slapped it on, adjusted it so it lined up with the tip of the front sight and I was hitting a 1/2" swinging target from 30 yards out no problem. The occasional flyer would miss(I was using federal bulk and cheap dirt winchester). I could not believe how accurate I was shooting it with irons and red dot working together.

It's dark right now but I will snap a picture of it tomorrow and post it(if I'm not too busy tracking my buddy down for some SHOT show information).

Which reminds me: My buddy stopped by the S&W booth tonight during set up and he said their are plenty of new models and guns coming tomorrow.

He couldn't get details because they were setting up but it appeared to be packed with several models of guns.

He got no chance to stop by the Ruger booth(That's the booth I wanted him to get too. Supposedly they are announcing a 1911!!!)

That would be awesome.

Sorry to get off topic but just thought some of you would like to know.

Congrats !!! you have a keeper. :D

It will stay with you for a long time, just make sure you use the right ammo. If the rounds work, stay with it. ;)

I do hope aftermarket companies like TacSol come out with barrels for the 15-22.
 
shot my 15-22 yesterday, i shot about 150 rounds. i had 3 ftf's (light strikes) and about 5 FTLs (all stood up in the mag). I was using federal bulk. I have some winchester 333's, xpert HV's, and wildcats im gonna try using next time. Any problems with the last 3 types of ammo?
 
Cheap ammo is getting to be hard to find. My Cabela's order is still on b/o, Walmart is out too. My gun ate 125 rounds of Remington golden bullets today with 3 FTF's. Luckily, I have 5 mags. Unluckily, they go so quickly :)
 
Hey everyone out there with the 15-22. Just picked it up today, compliant with 10 rd mag. It's the first gun I ever bought so I'm a little new. Read about the ejector and mine looks like it should be ok, but I will be taking pliers with me when I get to shoot tomorrow.

I'm curious about cleaning and maintanance before and after I use this gun..can someone help a newbie?
 
clean it before you shoot it the first time... push the rear take down pin to the right side of the gun it doesnt remove completely then remove bolt carrier and bolt.. use a q-tip and some sort of bore cleaner/solvent to clean film off everything and reoil lightly do the same to the lower parts(trigger, hammer, and disconect) and chamber... then check the bore for anything that might have slipped into the barrel during manuf. and/or shipping.. make sure when u load mags you do it propper.. and you may wanna take a little extra oil with you to the range these guns are way to much fun to shoot but 22s are dirty... when ever you get home reclean and store... hope this helps

Thank You, that helps for sure. Might be a dumb question but when storing should the bolt be locked back or does it not really matter?

It also seems S&W took away the load assist button for their 10 round mags - not very easy to load them
 
do you have the actual 10rd mag or the 10rd capped 25rounder? Id like to see a pic of the shorter 10rd mag if thats the one you have. Thanks.
 
It's a capped 25 rounder...I was confused because I thought S&W was going to come out with a short 10 rd mag for compliant states (or anyone who wanted to use it as a bench rest), but the guys at my local gun shop had no idea if these "shorter mags" would ever come out
 
ok..yeah, its been talked about on here, where people said that s&w was actually selling the short 10rd mags, and even had a part # for them. I called them and they said they where selling them, but where on backorder...so i dunno. I actually found a rest for my 15-22 at Academy, its called the Caldwell NXT was only 19.99. Works great and has my gun high enough where the 25rd mag is no problem.

I honestly don't know if it would hurt it or not I've heard very gun educated people say it will hurt them and I've heard it won't by just as many, I store mine closed just for the simple fact that I just cleaned the darn thing and I don't want it full of dust which oil seems to attract
 
glad you were able to find a good rest - I'm interested in the short mags because I'm hoping that S&W puts the load assist button back on them. Such a pain in the *** trying to load in the rounds without it.

Can't wait to shoot it tomorrow!

Thats what I figured, but I didn't want to make any rookie mistakes! :confused:
