M&P 15-22 Survey

[Jswiney9]

Well its not hard to do the math here on this survey. its 25% here on this survey with problems and 75% without. That seems like to much for me. Im kind of wishing I went with the sig 522 instead. That thing shoots anything 22lr. And about the same price as the 1522. Watch nutnfancys review. This is how the 1522 should be for the money...

if somebody has a 1522 that shoots this reliably please post a movie proving it.

Wow

How about a survey that just says "problems" no problems" wouldn't that be more fair? Unless of course you want to know what the problems are.

what I am seeing here is roughly 75% WITHOUT problems and 25% WITH problems. Too many in my opinion.

Even if it is mainly people who have had problems responding to the survey the manufacturing defect rate must be very high.

I was looking at one and am now glad I didn't make the purchase.

This is a great survey! I was starting to have my doubts about whether or not I should cancel my order for my 15-22. Reading through the threads it seems like everyone has had problems. This just goes to show that there are more people who have not had issues than those that have. I will take my chances. Plus S&W has a great Cust. Serv. Reputation which is backed up by those that have shared their issues here.

Time to bring this poll back to life! It's been 3 months since the last post. I noticed another feed ramp missing post. There were at least 5 noted so far. Lot's of new members on the forum so please take a minute to take the poll. Thanks and happy shooting.

No return, and few mag-snags every once in a while. I love this rifle

 

[tpd223]

Mine has no issues as long as I stay away from Remington ammo.

I also keep mine well lubed, and I run a bore snake down the barrel every few magazines.

Got my rifle 3 days ago, put over 600 rounds down range and no problems. It is one of the newer models, SN DURXXX. I have been using Federal bulk and CCI Blazer ammo.

 

[squeaky]

i guess im one of the lucky ones. over 2000 rounds and say about 3 to 5 ftf and thats it.

 

[tacticool22]

Over 3000 rounds and the rifle is settling in nicely. I can even feed dirty, old, Rem GB with no problems. I'm using Gunzilla with amazing results. The bolt catch is even working every mag now.

I finally got mine to the range today and fired 260 rounds at a fairly rapid pace (as fast as the range master would allow, anyway). I have three magazines, and each one performed flawlessly. I shot Federal GameShok (blue box) and Federal AutoMatch AM22.

Shooting rapid-fire offhand with 54-year-old eyes, iron sights, and no sling at 50 yards, I managed to put everything into a 5-inch circle.

New member. I've had my 15-22 for nine months now. I'm an LE/Mil instructor and I've used my 15-22 in six 4-day carbine courses. I've put approximately 5000 rounds through it with very few malfunctions. The malfunctions that I have had were due to low quality ammo. I love this stick! I believe it's one of the best and most economical training platforms available.

had a DTX prefix , worked great with the HOT stuff , and would jam every 3-4th rd with the cheap stuff.
sent an E to S&W , got a reply real quick ... with the info and label to send it in for repair , picked up at my home by Fedex and will be droped off by fedex.
great customer service , my other M&P15-22 (blue springs) works great with what ever I feed it (this is the Wife's 22 was told I would have to wait till i get MINE back before I go shoot'n again....oh well

Forget my serial start, but I bought mine shortly after they came out. Its had the better part of 1K rounds thru it now and nothing out of the ordinary has happened. Even laying it face up in the rain it functioned flawlessly.

No Problems

Just spent my first day on the range with the M&P 15-22 and what a blast! Put 600 rounds through it and was very impressed I used Winchester Super X high velocity and seemed to run well I had 6 failure to feeds but it was after about 400 rounds. I cleaned and lubed and had no more problems. I had great groupings but I think I will try something different next time out to compare.
