The transformation of my M&P 15-22

[maxicooper]

Hello everyone. I'm a newbie here and have just get into the rimfire scene not so long ago, and now I'm addicted. First with the Sig P229 classic 22 and now this little beast, the Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22.

3 weeks with my M&P15-22 was so much fun and it becomes one of my favorite toys, if not the most favorite.

The fun started out with a stock M&P15-22.

The first lot of the accessories was "Tango Down BattleGrip Quick Detach Vertical Grip" and 4 x 25 rounds magazines

then "GG&G Sling Thing, front sling mount", "Blue Force Vickers Sling" and "Magpul MBUS" front & rear sights were added.

Final add on for the "phase I" of the tranformation project is the Eotech 511 .A65 rev F

And here is my little "Transformer" at the current form.

Went through 4 - 500 rounds lately. My rifle loves all CCIs: Stingers, MINI Mag HPs, Wolf and Remington Thunderbolt.

Have got quite a few problem with Rem. Golder Bullet HP and Viper.

All I can say is,.... love it .... love it .... love it !!!

Congrads on your 15-22, you got it lookin saweeeeet!!! Ive tried CCI minimags, Federal 550 bulk pack, and Winchester SuperX SuperSpeedRN, in the 100rd box, and have had great luck with all. Ive also tried some Winchester Wildcats, copule mags full, had 1 hicup per mag. So not to bad.

welcome to the forum...great looking 15-22

 

[BaitKiller]

where did you get the mbus front and rear sights?

 

[maxicooper]

Thanks to you all for the warm welcome.

Like I have mentioned, I'm so in love with this little 15-22. The "phase II" is on the way, should be completed by Christmas. Hopefully, Santa will be super kind enough to make my dream come true. he he he.

Speaking of MBUS, fortunately, a gun shop (White Marsh Arms) in my area had a set in stock. It looks like the MBUS rear sight is kind of hard to find now a day.

Summary from 2 trips to the range.

CCI MINI Mag Hyper Velocity round nose, 200 rounds: 100%
CCI MINI Mag Hyper Velocity hallow point, 100 rounds: 100%
CCI Stinger, 100 rounds: 100%
Wolf match target, 50 rounds: 100%
Remington Thunderbolt, 50 rounds: 96%, 1 FTE & 1 FTF


Remington Golden bullet, 100 rounds: all kind of mulfunctions, 4 to 7 in every 25.
Remington Viper, 50 rounds: multiple mulfunction,

The rifle has a good accuracy, good handling, light weight, lots of cool factors, really fun to shoot, and all at the right price.

Kinda sums up most owners experiences with Remington .22 ammo.

An UPS box just came in.

Seems like the phase II might start sooner than I would have thought.

 

[maxicooper]

Voila !!! opened the box and found my early Christmas presents. Magpul CTR and Hogue OverMolded grip have arrived.

Can't wait for Santa to deliver other 2 bling blings tomorrow.

 

[ToddS112]

Which size Mag-Pul stock is that, military spec or civi?

 

[maxicooper]

It's a Mil-Spec model.

 

[maxicooper]

The blings have arrived.

LaRue tactical offset flashlight mount & Surefire G2Z.

Looks awesome.

I put a CTR on mine, and I liked the overall look. The one thing that I didn't like..... When collapsed, the CTR (all) does not match the profile of the lower. It hangs way down to the profile of the tear-drop ring on an AR15. The S&W factory stock has a profile that matches it's one piece lower/tube design.
