Bought a 15-22 moe fde online and just received it last week. My main point on posting is i would like to accessorize my 15-22 . Reason for choosing the smith was the guts of the gun the options and warranty.

I know there knock offs but for a 500 dollar gun it is what it is.

Plan to do a front grip and side mount laser

Welcome to the fraternity, Brother! In the opinion of most of us the 15-22 is the best AR-pattern .22LR rifle made and that means you've made a wise choice!
As for accessories; unless you are also going to use the same equipment on a MIL-SPEC AR platform, buying top-quality lights/lasers/optics is not the best use of your money. There are less-rugged and far cheaper equipment available from sources like Sportsman's Guide etc. that can give you the full "tactical-experience" without frying your credit card. The brands you've listed are good names known for reliable, quality equipment and I would have no hesitation in using them, but I've equipped my 15-22 with a 240-lumen, two-mode, remote switched tac-light; a rail-mounted two-mode green laser; a top rail red-dot sight that interchanges with a 3-12X40 telescopic sight; a 4-inch vertical fore-grip (with storage and switchpad locations); a pebble-finish, rubberized, Israeli-made pistol grip with storage; an ambidextrous sling swivel stock tube mount; and side-mounted BUIS (Back-Up Iron Sights). All for less than $250! The money I saved went to something really necessary; extra magazines and the ammo to fill them! I have five mags and could really use five more in the course of a good range session.
The AR platform in general and the 15-22 in particular are guns that encourage and respond to individualization. I imagine that a truly determined shooter could figure out a way to convert the action to a flintlock if he thought it would be interesting. I advise you to run 3-400 rounds through the rifle before you invest in accessories so you can better judge just what meets your needs as a shooter and not just what others have done. Have fun with your rifle, my friend!

Welcome aboard !
I too recently bought the gun and though I've only put 30 rounds through it I really like it.
I most like how easy it is to take apart for cleaning. Takes seconds and very easy to clean. I have a Ruger 10-22, my wife's, and while it is a great gun and fun to shoot it is more of a process to dismantle it for cleaning.

Enjoy the heck out of your gun...I sure am.
 
new owner myself. picked it up last weekend with black friday sales. looking forward to getting some use out of it haha.

After you buy a dozen magazines (44mag.com) and a couple of cases of ammo, lock up your credit cards!!! :)

Typical! :D

However ... three mags is not near enough - too much time spent reloading and not enough shooting! Load a dozen mags at home and concentrate on shooting once you get to the range. :D

BTW, Welcome Aboard!!!!
 
ya i have a feeling 4 mags total wont be enough but will be good enough for the first time. after that it'll all change lol. thanks
