M&P 15-22 Safety alert from S&W

[Rob1]

A few of us got the gauges here in the UK if you read the posts myself and another few have offered to post to UK owners but to date no one has requested from me or the others!!

I would love to take you up on your kind offer, there are at least 6 15-22s in my club, the other 5 were purchased after people tried mine.
So far none of us have had a gauge arrive.

If your still happy to forward on, feel free to drop me a pm, I'll cover the postage and get all the ones here at my club checked.

I'm confident mine is good to go but some of the guys are a little wary still.

Cheers in advance.

Rob

Received and email from S&W a few days ago stating that the gauges are finally on the way but, still nothing so far.

I'm guessing they'll be sending them out in the order they were requested which means I've probably still got a long wait.

Safety Alert

Howdy folks,
I bought one of these m&p 15-22's today just because it looked well done and fun. I get home, see there is a recall based upon manufacturing date, but s&w doesn't bother to tell me how to determine when mine was made. Any help in figuring this out is appreciated. It ain't in my Standard Catalog
Thanks....Arman

I believe this link has been posted somewhere above, but here it is again:

M&P15-22 Consumer Safety Alert | Smith & Wesson

FAQs, Gauge ordering info, etc

Affects MP15-22s manufactured before February 2019. I don't recall anyone saying their MP15-22's bolt has failed the gauge test.

15-22 safety alert

I ended up calling s&w. They had a hard enough time finding my manufacturing date, it isn't any wonder nobody knows how to figure out when their rifle was made. Mine was Feb.12, 2019, so I skated by. Barely

after about 75 rounds mine went into burst firing.Sent it back to Smith and came back OK

Just ordered the free tool. Thanks for the heads-up!!

6 months and several calls to S&W, I finally received my gauge yesterday...

The gauge is about the same as the rim on a .22LR casing. Set it in the bolt face, if it is slightly recessed, you are all good.

I have 2, 15-22s. Love them. So do the kids. Both bolts pass the gauge but the newer one has doubled a couple of times. Today the one that doubles, fired on dropping the bolt release w/ CCI SV. First time for that. Just be careful out there.

The only way is to follow-up aggressively with S&W to get them to ship the gauge. I finally got a "promise" that mine was shipped a few days ago, ONLY because I followed-up on my initial order of the gauge.

CALL, EMAIL...you have to aggressively stay on them!!

 

[Chili501]

I had to request mine twice as well. Finally got it and mine is good to go.

Brian at S&W customer service followed-up with me and true to his word of 9-27, the gauge he said he was sending arrived today in a hand written envelope.
