Hi to you all, this is my first post and I would like to introduce myself. I live in the UK and hope to get to know you all soon.
I have been following this forum for quite a while and think it's great, a lot of information and helpful advise given. My M&P 15-22 is a brilliant rifle, never let me down, just a great rifle.
Best regards to you all.

Welcome

Hey there,
Its always good to hear of another UK owner of this excellent .22lr...how new to the rifle are you? what modifications and accessories have you got or earmarked for getting? It can be quite expensive and frustrating for us this side of the pond...everything is so expensive and most of it is ITAR restricted. However it can be got and can make for a very addictive endeavour.
Any questions regarding this rifle, you are in the right place, lots of friendly peeps with good advice and experience.
Happy safe shooting
Pics of your 15-22 are always welcome

Welcome to the madness from another UK owner.

GM is right. Very addictive little pastime.

Parts are out there and even over here if u know where to look.

Any thing I can help with let me know. Advice etc I'll help if possible.

Most things can be gotten hold of eventually.

It's always nice to greet a noob on the site.

I look forward to seeing your pics and watching your obsession grow.

Rob

Hello from Texas, and welcome

 

[RRich]

The story so far.

Thanks for the welcome guys, great to hear from you.

I have had my 15-22 for about a year and a half and have changed a few bits here and there. I bought the standard version because of the parts I wanted to put on her.

The list so far:-
Magpul CTR stock
Magpul pistol grip
Magpul XTM rail panels
Fab Defense fore grip
Plinker Tactical charging handle
Hiperfire 24C trigger
Mbus sights (Ebay Knockoff - Just for show)
Vortex PST 1-4x24 scope
Burris P.E.P.R. scope mount
2 X Plinker Tactical 35 round mags along will 3 X 25 round mags
Spikes Tactical barrel shroud.

Favourite ammo - CCI AR Tactical.

Oh how I love this little gun.

The story so far 2

I think the only thing that I'd like to change is the barrel shroud. The Spikes Tac. is nice but I'd really like a thicker shroud as shown on the Kineti-tech web site. Sad story, they don't ship to the UK, so looking for other options.

It will be my first trip to the range tomorrow since I fitted the Hiperfire trigger, looking forward to seeing how she feels.

I'll put up a photo of my 15-22 as soon as I can.

welcome aboard pal! you made a good/bad choice joining this forum. lots of things to spend money on, and lots of great info/advice.

 

[Rob1]

The kenetitech shrouds are very nice I have to say. Though somewhat difficult to get a hold of.

And a warm

Welcome, and nice rifle turnout.

I have the hipertouch trigger on my "precision" 556 AR. I really like it a lot. I found it to be very crisp with little to no "staging" travel followed by a nice feeling reset. I use the lightest springs, given the use of that particular rifle. I'll be interested in hearing what you think.

I would love to visit the UK and meet up for a 15-22 shoot!

You want to have a chat with Hereford, he will undoubtedly see your post and will comment...he makes shrouds very much like Kineti-techs...

 

[RRich]

Hi GhostMutt,

I did send Hereford an email after seeing the shrouds he makes but had nothing back so far. Hope to hear from him, his shrouds looks great.

Hipertouch 24C

Hi Vividia,

At the range today and got to shoot with the Hipertouch trigger for the first time. What can I say, what a difference. I had previouslly fitter JP springs and polished the stock trigger on the 15-22 and that improved the feel quite a bit.
However it still wasn't brilliant and after reading a review of the Hipertouch triggers and finding a supplier here in the UK that had a 24C in stock, I just wanted to give it a go.
Like you, I have the lightest springs installed and the overall feel and performance is outstanding. One other little benefit is that when I fast fire, it goes like a full auto . I mean it was fast before but oh boy she does rock n roll now!
Great trigger, highly recommended.

Not the best photo but it's my pride and joy!

hi

Hi Rich welcome!
looks like you have everything pretty much sorted on your 15/22.
I have not heard of the Hiperfire trigger before, did you source it here in the UK?
what's it like ? Cheers

 

[RRich]

Hi stonecutter, thanks for the welcome.
I think the Hipertouch 24C is a brilliant trigger, it comes with three sets of springs and I am using the lightest ones which gives a trigger pull of just over 2lbs. Time to remove the stock trigger and install the Hipertouch was about 10mins. Fired my M&P with this trigger fitted today for the first time and I think it's great, very crisp and fast lockup.
There are a good few videos on YouTube that will give you a much better insight into this trigger system than I can.
Oh and yes got it here in the UK from Adam Williams of AW Armoury, a great guy to deal with and very helpful.
Hope this helps.

Hi

Hi Rich, thanks for the heads up on the trigger! Cheers

 

[GhostMutt]

Just looked at all the gumpf online and that trigger looks really good...if its not to personal...how much? Cannot find anything about it on AW website. Do you have the 'hipershoe' installed and how does that feel?

 

[RRich]

No the trigger is not shown on his site, just email Adam and he'll let you know if he has any in stock or when he expects them in.
Yes the 24C comes complete with the Hypershoe and pins. The Hypershoe is great, you can adjust it to various positions and I have mine set on the first position. This lightens the trigger pull even more and means that your finger is in the same place each time making your trigger pull more consistent.
I can't say how it compares against other aftermarket triggers but I can vouch for it being light, crisp break and very fast reset.
As I mentioned, I polished the faces and fitted JP springs to my stock trigger, this is so much better and I would give it my full recommendation.
Oh and one other thing, being someone with two hands of thumbs, very easy to install

Sorry GhostMutt, cost £200 and that covered the postage too.
This trigger seems popular with 3 gunners in the states.
