My M&P .22 mods

[bolewine]

This M&P has been totaly broken down and reassembled after polishing all internal parts and frog lubing all parts twice. I have a little over 1000 rounds throu for break in. Hated the factory sights so I replaced it with a Leupold Deltapoint. I'll be using this for the up comming steel leauge. So to keep a good grip during the warm months here in Pa. I also added Talon grips (sandpaper type).all 5 mags have been disassembled polished and frog lubed 2x this makes them alot smoother. I have wound up with a 3 1/2 pound trigger pull.This gun is slick and ready for some action !! Do you think I should add a comp.?

P.S. I will be removeing the safety as soon as my plugs arrive!

Did you use a regular M&P mount for the red dot, or is it specific to the MP22?

I have looking to do something like this and like how yours came out.

 

[bolewine]

It required a little fitting nothing some 320 sandpaper and 10 min sanding and fitting wont take care of. Just remove from the front dovetail until it slides in it dose not have to be real tight as it has a set screw to lock it down.

Thanks for the reply and fitting suggestions. Definately going to check this out.

I bought one of these and installed it on my S&W M&P 9,S&W M&P 40,S&W M&P 22lr and finally my FN Herstal 5.7.28 and it works great no issues whats so ever..Works great for mounting scopes,laser and lights..Best part no need for tapping or drilling..

The Mako mount is nice in the fact that the slide doesn't effect the optic. Although it does put it a little higher off the barrel.

bolewine- would you please enlighten us as to what parts you polished and what products you used to do so? Thanks.

Yes it does it gives you that option to allow you to use your iron sights the way it is made..

Good point. I was thinking it might effect zero-ing at close range but that would be where using the normal sights would come into play right?

After dissasssembled I used a dremmel and red compound that came with the polishing kit to polish every metal part in the gun from the sear to the fireing pin. It removes small burrs and rough spots from manufacturing. It really slicks the gun up after Frog lubeing everything. This is not for someone with no Machcanical skills. That being said: WARNING! There is little or no information how to reassemble this gun from S&W or on the web. If you choose to do this pay attention on how things come apart and go back together. Good luck!

Youtube has helped me greatly in this aspect. It seems as though no matter how hard I try and pay attention, something gets missed. A trick I used before I started using youtube was to take pictures of each part before I took it off, than you know what it's supposed to look like. I used this method on motorcycles mostly, but don't see why it wouldn't hold true with firearm parts as well.

Dikinalaska,
Very good tip I have done this when working on cars, but you have to watch with spring loaded parts they fly faster then the camera can catch!!

Yeah that would be helpful... That little bit at the back with the spring and washer is a pain to get back together...

Well in that case, grab the video camera lol. I'll admit, I used video the first time I took a carb apart because of the spring-related parts. Won't help where they fly, but when they "twang" off at least you know how it started lol.

Do you have more info about removing safty lever and where to get plug you talked about

I like the sight mount. I don't like having to chase down a gunsmith to drill and tap a hole in the aluminum slide to mount it correctly. Although it would be a very good system. And you get to end up with a 3 dot fixed sight.
