Greetings from Southern New Hampshire...
Good afternoon ladies an$ gentleman...just restarted my affection for shooting after 51 years...have introduced my loving bride of 35 years to this wonderful pastime...we are shooting small caliber 22...pistol and rifle...just picked up a M&P 15-22 on Friday...a gift from my wife...I tried the range rent model and was able to shoot 3" groupings first time...from 35 '

Do to vision injury to my right eye I am learning to shoot from the left side...so, so so far...am retired so i have plenty of time to learn...

Thank you for the time to rattle on...not sure how much I can contribute but I'm sure there is alot I can re-learn from all of you

A great thank you to all...

So...I just got back from my indoor range...decided to bring along my new 15-22....

Not such a great time today...I cleaned and lubed my new play toy...decided to feed her CCI Mini Mags...purchased 3 additional 25 round mags from Buds Gun Shop...also got the Walther Arms Colt 1911 22lr...

So I thought that I was all set for a great hour at the range...it suck big ones...every 3-4 cycles I encountered stove piping...sometimes actual where the casing was sticking out and other times the casing was crushed inside...needless to say...extremely frustrating...I had also purchase 2 ten round mags for...these seemed to work better but still ended up with the same problem. I did use some range oil from the Sargent at arms and there was a slight improvement using the ten round mags...but not perfect.

Is this part of the "break-in" period...will this work its way out or should I contact S&W about the problem...I just purchased 4,500 rounds of the CCI AR ammo...that supposed to be good for this type of platform...though I had 0 feed errors...only the stove piping.

Sorry for the ramble...any help ...needless to say...would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you...be safe.

So my long question is ...
