OD GREEN 15-22

[DIESELDAD758]

Hey guys new to the forum. I think Iam going to pull the trigger on Monday on a OD green 15-22. How come I can't find the gun On S&W website?????? Is it a special edition or left over from another year??? The gun is at ACADEMY.

Hello Diesel, Welcome!. I am also new to the forum, lots of nice people here, great forum!
Never seen a Factory OD Green 15-22, go for it!, I am sure it will look very nice. Almost went that color with my rail covers, but then I would have to buy the OD pistol grip and stock, so I just went black on black.

I believe the OD Edition was an Academy only edition.

I believe the OD Edition was an Academy only edition.

Will Academy do FFL transfer? We don't have any round these parts... And a green one would round out the collection nicely.

 

[tacticool22]

I like the look of the green ones.
The only thing left green would be the upper and lower though.

That I can't answer for you as we don't have them around here also. One call should take care of that though.

i have a green 15-22 from academy and love it. from what i can gather online, there were only about 300 or so made for academy. not sure if that number is accurate but i did see another green at my academy after i bought mine.

btw its not an exact match for most od greens though. its a big more green that od and a bit darker than foilage if that makes sense. i should have taken a pic with the magpul xtm panels to show but didnt.

 

[DIESELDAD758]

Thanks for the replies guys looks like I will be picking it up Monday. I have 3 academy's close to me that all have at least 3 in stock. I can ask about a transfer for those of you who are interested in one.

 

[PapaChop]

Yeah, Magpul's OD does seem closer to a slightly darker Foilage than real OD.

 

[w0ady]

heres a good comparison of my od xd's with the hogue grip in od vs. the 15-22 green.

thanks, im stuck on od too.

my next guns are a .22 pistol (maybe sig 1911) and ar in od of course.

yes it does. mine was really tough and i had to order the barrel vise clamps from jody at tacticool22.com so my gun shop could get it off. then i threw on one of his barrel shrouds cause i love the look.

 

[yugowego]

Are the upper and lower painted OD or is molded that way?

 

[yugowego]

Looking at your pics mine might get a lil krylon fusion OD love... Loving the contrast

 

[tacticool22]

S&W told me it was molded that way.

 

[yugowego]

I just looked at academys website but didnt see em on there... Might have to call one of the stores... What states are these in?

I have not read good things about the Sig 1911 or Mosquito. From all the research I've done, it looks like the M&P .22 is the way to go for a .22 pistol if you're not wanting a Ruger.

not saying you're wrong but ive done a ton of research as well in the last couple of weeks. the sig is a rebranded gsg and while there have been some issues, ive seen a lot more positive than negative. the mosquito and walther p22 do seem to have mixed reviews though. the m&p and ruger look to be the better of the polymer .22s, that or go with a target browning or ruger.

personally i want something more "fun" than the target guns. i held all of them last night after i put 200 rds through the 15-22 at my range. the walter and ruger are small but the ruger still feels good. the m&p feels real comfortable and while the sig/gsg is the heaviest, it comes in green and has 3 dot sights.

Although I had three other .22 pistols, I really didn't have a plinker so I bought an SR22P back in January. It's another "fun" gun. It's a great first gun and has several good safety features for the new shooter.

A BIG plus is it's the easiest semi-auto I have to strip and clean - lock the slide back, flip down the take-down lever and slide the slide off the frame. Do the reverse to re-assemble. A wonderful change from the MK series. Around here it goes for $290.

Never shot the M&P, but I hear good things about it, too.

 

[hkyplr]

I have the Sig 1911 and absolutely love it, haven't had any problems with it, although i get a FTF once in a while with Federal bulk. I like it because it feels like my .45 1911. My brother has the Walter and has had a lot of problems with it, to the point he went out and got a Buckmark.

 

[hkyplr]

Two other comments about the Sig 1911. I am not 100% sure, but I think that even though it is made by GSG, it has better internals. The second and something that is definately bad about both is you can't find extra mags and when you do they are around $30.

 

[w0ady]

ya i like the sr22 for the size and ease of use. would be a good gun to get my gf shooting more although i know im going to use the gun a lot more. the m&p feels great and would be good practice for my xd's but its only a single dot up front. the sig would satisfy my 1911 curiosity i think since thats all i hear about on some forums.

 

[Majorlk]

The sights on the SR22 are not bad. The rear sight is fully adjustable. I've got probably 500 rounds through it without any complaints. The double action trigger is very heavy but the single action is not too bad and is rather smooth, all things considered. I haven't put the TP gauge on it yet.

 

[w0ady]

ya i like that they're 3 dot. unfortunately the range i go rents one with a laser and no sights but it will still allow me to test most of the gun out.

 

[Quarterhorse]

I'd like to see these OD Green guns. I think mine is as close to OD as it'll get.
