I just received my M&P AR 15-22 on Tuesday (bought through Gun Broker) and I have already shot 300 rounds through it. I'm quite pleased with my purchase.

My 15-22 came with one 10 round magazine, so I ordered a Plinker Tactical 35 round magazine to test it out. I purchased the mag from their website for $42 with shipping and I received it in four business days. I shot about 200 rounds through it and the only malfunction occurred when I charged the weapon for the first time. The top round got caught verticle between the bolt and the feed ramp. After I cleared it, I experienced no further malfunctions. The only negative to the mags could be the length if you wanted to shoot prone or from a bench. Otherwise, I recommend them.

Has anybody used the Plinker Tactical load assist? Is it worth purchasing?

I was lucky enough to find the last 3 boxes of Remington Golden Bullets ("New and Improved") that my local Wal-Mart had in stock. I experienced no malfunctions with the rounds and I was shooting very tight groups at 20 yards (indoor range) once the sights were zeroed.

I ordered Federal and CCI 22LR ammo on Bass Pro Shop's website and had it shipped to the local store. The ammo is on backorder and the email confirmation I received said the order should be shipped to the store in 30 days. Has anybody had experience ordering ammo on Bass Pro Shop's website and will I really receive it in 30 days?
