This could be fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Definitely don't need one, but I WANT! That is very nice, and I do enjoy my AR pistols. Didn't think I would, but my son talked me into it, and he was right.

I got tired of waiting and purchased a RRA.. I really wanted one of 15-22 pistols. Blast at the range and still cheap to shoot.

Why so late to the game? I want one of these! I already have a 15-22 but have always wanted a pistol. This would be so much fun with a suppressor on the end. And a great training alternative.

I had a Colt AR22. I guess my expectations were a little high, I sold it and bought a CMMG conversion kit for a spare AR.

I reaally, reaaaaallllllyyy, like the one I have. Don't think I will get another one tho. As a suppressor host, and many mags, it is just too fun.

I wonder if they will release a Massachusetts compliant version???

I'm getting one. The kids will love it.

I'm looking forward to seeing how much weight they will remove from the bolt for a 7 inch barrel.

edit:
I'm not sure what they changed for the short barrel.

I hadn't actually heard of them until this afternoon when I was on the phone with one of my distributors. He had some in stock. I pulled up a pic and decided to order 6 of them for the gun shop.

 

[strobro32]

I can't seem to transfer one under $600.

No sights.

Time is hopefully on our side. I predict in under 10 yrs the price will be as it should be. No way I'd go above 400.00 for a chopped M&P 15-22.

Looks like pricing is about $100 above a 'base' model 15-22... which is about what the SB3A brace costs.

IMHO, that's not unreasonable if you want one of these, especially compared to building and SBRing a standard rifle.

Ordered one this morning from SOS, $499. The average listed price for the on-line stores is $549 and as high as $699. Looking forward to giving this new toy some range time!

 

[strobro32]

What's SOS?

What's SOS?

Looks like Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore?

I ordered one as well... paid a bit more, but I've had good experiences there in the past and they already had my FFL info associated with my account.

Being a dealer and knowing what they actually cost I will tell you to look for a used one. Right now the dealer cost is more than you price limit. Once things return to some normalcy Smith may re-institute their package pricing which will allow the price to go a bit lower when they are purchased in quantity but who knows when that will happen again.

From video I saw; it appears they are using the same bolt that is in the older pistol. Material removed from top on an angle and some removed from bottom.

There is a picture of it somewhere on the forum, just can't find it.
