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?

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?

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.

 

[DIESELDAD758]

No there is a slight difference in OD GREEN. I wouldn't worry about just get to academy and pick up the green one before there all gone. You'll love it.

Diesel, where are you shooting?

 

[DStangs21]

Also new to the boards and not yet an owner. Just moved to Sunny SW Florida from Mass. Been reading here for a while and have decided to take the plunge. Do I need to switch to a Florida DL before I purchase said .22?

 

[DIESELDAD758]

Diesel, where are you shooting?

We have a range at my parents house in Pleasanton. I really don't go to any of the ranges around here although I live down the street from one. The range close to me is BULLET HOLE. Pretty good range and nice people. I usually go when my father in law wants to shoot.

Huh...really? Just go get the OD from Academy while they still have them. Do not buy anything else except a spare mag or two, pick up a 10 round shorty if you can for prone and bench shooting. I wouldn't go crazy on red dots, lasers ect just shoot it as is for a while. After you shoot it a bit you will have a better idea of what you REALLY want.

I agree with ral2ooo......I have several rifles with red dot, reflex, and reticule type scopes.....I have the MOE that came with the Magpul flip up iron sights.............I fired using the irons for a while to get a feel for the rifle.............I decided on a reticule type scope because I discovered that the MOE 15 22 was accurate enough that the red dot or reflex would diminish the accuracy potential.

no the colors do not match. od green is a bit darker and foilage green is a bit lighter. i prefer the contrast of black furniture on my green gun anyways. here is a pic showing the 15-22 green with black and a couple od green xd's.

Is that unmounted scope a AIM tactical? If so how do you like it. I keep running into these things and they look quite solid with good optics. I was going to get one but not knowing anything about them thought I better do a little research.

nope utg cqb 3-9x and im pretty happy with it. only stretched it out to 25 yds so far but it did the job well.

 

[alexwolf1216]

Ok I did it. Grabbed the last green one from Academy near my house. Im kinda sad though, the "M" on "Model" wasnt painted. It says "odel" lol....

 

[DIESELDAD758]

Sweet man congrats!!! Don't worry about the letters they wear off, I've shot about 1500 rounds thru mine and there starting to rub off. When mine finally rub off Iam just going to color fill them.

Now I need to grab me a case and find somewhere to shoot. I have Friday off so we are heading out to A Place to Shoot, but I dont think their rifle range will be open. Boo.
