Bought a .22ar

[Shawnmoore81 623]

Started my paperwork on this yesterday. S&w mp-1522. It's most for my kid but I will have it out to save on ammo.

I too bought one for my son but he doesnt use it much because i've got it all the time.

Good luck finding ammo. I have the same one now going on a month, haven't shot it yet.

[Shawnmoore81 623]

Ammo isn't an issue

[Lalo 13]

Its a great gun, you'll love it. Check out the S&W forums for details on what to do if you have the "bolt doesnt stay open on last round" problem. Try not to go cheap on the ammo when you're breaking it in or you might have some FTE's. You might also have to bend the ejector in just a tad to help with that. Also, the biggest cause of FTL's is you not putting the rounds on the magazine properly. Stagger them properly.

I got federal gameshok, federal American eagle, Winchester varmint, and cci hyper velocity as far as premium .22.

 

And

Blazer, remington subsonic and remington thunder bolt as far a cheap

 

But I'm gonna grab some tactical .22 ammo this week. But I'm guessing some of those copper coated one will be fine

I've never had any issues with CCI AR Tactical after the initial break in. That's what I use for all my .22 matches because the gun loves it.

fantastic 22....congrats

Just sold mine but I had around 2500 rounds through it. I used mostly the CCI AR Tactical but it would eat anything, even the cheap stuff. Not one hiccup.

 

It was a fun little plinker for sure.

Great rifle. Enjoy it. I have one and I highly recommend the Nikon P-22 scope to go with it. The rifle is accurate to 100yds especially when my 13yo daughter is shooting it.

[Sig226GuyNJ 128]

I've shot 10k rounds of American Eagle, 2k rounds of CCI Standard Velocity, and about 500 rounds of Federal Bulk Pack through mine. Had one failure with American Eagle, and that's it. My M&P15-22 just eats whatever I feed it so far.

It's most for my kid

 

 

Sure it is... haha.

[Shawnmoore81 623]

I'm think of doing a Nikon m223 fixed power without the bdc

what i did was set mine up like my ar but with a vortex not the high$$$ aimpoint and also a 3x magnifier. My Taccom i have coming is gonna have a scope on it. Forget what make it is. My thought is keep it similar to practice and have the feel of the AR

[Shawnmoore81 623]

Just picked the gun up. Was on delay since Tuesday.

[Shawnmoore81 623]

[Shawnmoore81 623]

Do they make shorter mags for this gun? No since of extended mag length if it only holds 10

[triton200 0]

Yes they make 10 round shorty but good luck finding them. And if you do they are WAY over priced

[SkiingGunMonkey 10]

I've really been looking at a taccom build over these, any reason so many of you guys run these instead of the taccom builds, or say a 22 conversion? I've been on the fence about these a ton and have been going back and forth. The S&W seems to be super popular here on the boards and selling for quite a premium.

[Shawnmoore81 623]

I didn't want a conversion just because I didn't want to lose an ar while shooting the .22. I went with the s&w for a few reasons. I liked my m&p-15, s&w doesn't build crap and I could just drive and buy it. They had s&w and mossberg in stock. They also had 2 other 15-22's there. A magpul version and a performance center edition. I debated on buying one an converting to nj legal but there is only so much I'm willing to spend on a .22. I got there right in time though because the guy behind me was there for a .22 ar and ended up having to buy the mossberg.
