MP 15-22 Outing

[straight-shooter]

I just returned from the range after firing my MP 15-22. All went excellent. Only glitch as someone else mentioned is when I loaded the mag to full capacity of 25 then I would get a round that would stand straight up in the mag and not feed. I then began to just load 24 rounds each time and all was great! No ejector or extractor problems to tell about here follks... she's a fine rifle!

In total I fired 330 rounds of Winchester bulk box ammo. Below is a target I used that received 120 rounds of .22 goodness using the iron sights and the red dot scope. All rounds fired were also rapid fire. I wanted to set out the target further than I did but it was set at 35 yards since it was indoors and somewhat too dark in there to go further out.

NICE!

yeah i went out today w/son an daughter..and went thru 500rnds of "BLAZER 22LR"..which i believe has a 40 grn count?....we only had 4 total failures..all with the first cartridge in the mag.....i can't recall if they were from my loading or my daughters...but i stressed not to fill it to the max for i feel better that theres some "spring movement" left in the mag?...so it isn't coil binding..does that make sense?.....i did it that way the other day and had no problems.....and also what im doing is checking the stacking pattern on both sides before engageing the mag.....the 4 failures were all bent and hung up on the houseing of the mag itself.......any thoughts?.....other than that...i was getting good groupings at 50yrds....and blasting clays up the berm at 100yrds thru the stock sites......everyone wanted to see it...they laughed..and i did too....cause i can afford to have fun.....im thinking about scopein it soon ..red dot tasco..for 30$.....any thoughts on that?...thanx........ charlie
