I think that is an okay price for a MOE. I think MOEs average about $100 more than a standard version.

Dave-WV, thanks for the reply. I should have known this was going to happen. Got the 15-22 and now I really want a Big Brother and have no desire to shoot my SKS anymore.

After looking around I think I have decided on the black MOE. There is a gun show next weekend and I plan to attend. Anything I need to be aware of? I purchased my XDM from my gun shop, so I am rather inexperienced.

Hey Alex Iam here in San Antonio as well. I bought the limited edition OD GREEN from academy for $459.00. You are more than welcome to check mine out before the gun show.

Well looks like its time to make a trip. Does it have any extras or is it just green?

That's what I got, as well. Just determine what you're willing to pay, after checking around other places first. I've not seen many gun show sales on new guns that are decent prices, so if you know what you should pay, you might get them down a bit. For reference, our local Sportsman's Warehouse wants $559, but the local Lawmen's charges only $474, /when/ they're in stock. I paid $479 for mine.

You might do well, or even better, on accessories, mags and ammo, so just price out what you want, and go with lots of money.

just green with a threaded barrel. i got mine at my local academy as well, its something like a limited run of 300 only for them supposedly.

 

[DIESELDAD758]

Same just green. And yes limited run, I called and confirmed with smith and Wesson. Not a big deal, cool just to say its limited.

The last thing I need is yet another 15-22 but the green one screams "BUY ME!!!!!!!" Good thing I have at least a modicum of will-power...

You'll love it. Like the other posters have stated, get at least 1 additional mags, preferably more. The 32 rounders run flawlessly for me.

Welcome to the forum!

What about a flash suppressor? I am talking about the thing on the front. Can it be added and is it even necessary?

 

[Kayback]

Not needed on a 16" .22.

Pretty much all the powder wil burn in those 16 inches. That's what .22 does. Anything longer than 16 is a waste.

The threading is useful for other muzzle devices, such as suppressors.

There are a couple of ways it can be added. A factory threaded barrel is probably the best bet. You can get it done afterwards for around $80-100. You can also buy an add on threaded unit to allow you to attach muzzle devices afterwards, that's the least attrative option.

All the standard MOE versions have threaded barrels don't they?

its cheaper to buy a 15-22 with a flash hider and threaded barrel now than to figure out you want to add one on down the road. likes other have said, just makes it easier to add on other things later. if you dont feel like you ever will then dont bother with it.

Alexwolf,

welcome to the board and welcome to the club. Yes, once you get a hold of this rifle you need to have one. I had seen one at the range but saw one at the LGS and had an impulse buy. The Magpul sights, stock and upper ladder covers.

Decide what you want, color and place the order. Also order extra mags, you can't have enough. I started with 2 and have added 4 more when I found them on sale.

If you are still searching two LGS in Atlanta have them in stock once you find what you want.

Armistead Armoury www.armisteadarms.com and ask for Tom. Alpharetta GA and they can ship to FFL dealer close to you.

Good luck and once you get the rilfe you will enjoy.

Hey all you OD owners, do the OD accessories match the color from Academy?

I spent another day in between 3 gun stores. Choices:

OD $459 - Academy
Black w/threaded barrel $499 - Bass Pro Shops
MOE FDE - $559 at my FLGS.

I think I am now starting to lean away from the MOE just because after picking around here I am really digging some of the Zombie mods, and I think I am going to end up replacing the grip anyway. I like the green dot laser and I plan to get a red dot scope of some sort.

So, do the green aftermarket accessories match the gun?

 

[Shooterjgs]

Alex... just run to Academy and get it... And let the good times roll...

 

[alexwolf1216]

I am overthinking this huh..

 

[Shooterjgs]

Just do it... You won't regret it... Trust me.
