mp15-22 serial number thread / What SN's have the known issues?

[mikehoncho]

DTH flawless except for a few mag snags.

Ditto on the DTH so far. one FTF (of course i wasn't the one handling the rifle at the time) and no FTE in about 250rds of federal bulk hollow points.

CORRECTION..... My bad, thought mine was a DTW. It's actually a DTM, but still have had no problems with it.

I have a DTM1*** it got to about round number 1200 and then kaboom no more extractor, so don't feel like you are safe.

Somehow, I think serial #'s mean squat. It was a good attempt to try and narrow this down though.

I agree with that statement.

I think you guys are on to something. Anyone can get an OOB, and the extractor is very likely to take a hit. (It is sitting right there in the way on the end of the bolt )

Yeah. It's also like saying. 2 people own brand X car; both made right together on the assembly line. I could go the lifetime of the car and not have any problems, and the other person have nothing but problems.

Well, I spoke S&W customer service today. He states that the SN's have nothing to do with the suspected known issues. He stated that the good vs broken mp22's that come back to them are very one sited. Meaning that there are very little that comeback for ftf,fte and extractor issues in comparison to how many they have sold and are good to go with no issues. But keep in mind less people will join a forum to report good things. They will normally join to report problems.

 

[kilo6echo]

Well, I just ran 555 rounds of winchester jacked hollow point through my DTU7*** and I am happy to report back that I only had 5 ftf's out of the 555

Mine's a DTM and after 400 rounds of Win Xpert HV and one OOB took out the extractor.

DTH4
14th round in first mag failed to eject. Then it was every round after that for the next 10 rounds. Chunked it to the side and gave a target a beat'n w/ my SR9. Man I was mad as hell. Brand new gun shouldn't do this. But, I brought it home and found the problem. Gave the ole ejector a twist and since I have put only 100 rounds through it but no failures. That's all w/ Federal bulk from Wal-Mart. I have 2100 rounds of Remington Golden Hollowpoints but I am scared to put them through my gun after all the stories I have heard about Remington tearing out extractors.
Although it failed so quickly I am still very happy w/ this plinker. If I was scared to work on it myself then it might be a different story. Even if this Remington ammo blows my extractor out I will still be happy w/ it.

DTM4XXX. So far no issues but only fired 250 rounds. I had a few rounds hang up in the magazine that I had to pry out. 99% sure it was my fault loading the magazine. I refuse to fire Rem GB's out of this gun, only CCI and Federal. Will update if anything changes.

 

[brads308]

DTH also flawless except for occasional mag snags. 700 rounds so far.

 

[rickyblaze]

DTX3xxx and mine is going back. FTE, OOB all around unreliable with Federal 36gr hp,win superX 40gr rn,Win 36gr hp,federal lightning. OOb's happened 3 times with the Winchester 36gr hp and of course REM GB's
