Hey Guys,

 

Gonna be jumping into the AR pool. I was looking at the possibility of maybe picking up a GSG 522 or maybe an ISSC MK22 since the shop by me has both in stock. I was wondering if anyone has experience with either of these or might know anything about them. I've seen mixed reviews of the ISSC MK22 online so I'm not sure about it.

 

Ideally I'd like to get a Stag 3L or 3G or an M&P 15, but for now I'm looking into the GSG 522 or MK22.

 

Any feedback would be appreciated.

I walked into Arms n Ammo with the sole purpose to buy the GSG. I also looked at the ISSC and M&P15-22 while I was there, and wound up walking out with the 15-22. The quality of that rifle far surpasses the other two options. Pick up all three and you will see the same thing.

j0n,

 

Thanks for the info. Yeah, the shop by me has a tricked-out M&P in one of their pics, if it's in the shop and available when I go this weekend I'm gonna purchase it on the spot (I've only heard good things about the M&P). Barring that, I'm just trying to keep my options open.

cutterOne, X2 on M&P15-22. Plus it's based on the AR platform. You can rent one to try it out up at Heritage Guild in Easton,PA or better yet you could meet me one night next week to try it out if you'd like.

 

I saw 3L so I am assuming you are a lefty as well?

Holeshot,

 

Thanks bro, I'll definitely keep that in mind. I keep hearing these are the way to go in terms of ARs. Awesome! I will keep that in mind and let you know how it goes this weekend and maybe we can set something up.

No problem, let me know.

I went the opposite of Jon. I went for a M&P and left with the GSG. Had more weight and i like feeling like Im actually holding on to something.

I have the GSG and like it a lot. I put a few thousand rounds through it without any problems. I also like the MK22 and have one on layaway with Buds. If you go for the GSG check out RRGAGES.com he has a lot of custom options for the rifle. He also has 15 round mags for it. The thing I don't like about the MK is the mags are $65.00. I have a lower just waiting for a 22 upper so I will have one of each soon. The mags for the M&P are the cheapest at $15 bucks or so. You can't go wrong with any of them!!

Thanks Sivl32 and FLHX.

 

Looks like I'll be hitting the shop tomorrow and get to check them out. I'll definitely post here once I've decided on one.

I will admit out of the box the M&P did feel kind of like a toy to me as well. I threw on some leftover and cheap azz tacticool stuff I had laying around to put some weight on it.

Hey All,

 

Well, I took a ride over to The Heritage Guild in Branchburg today. Great place with great people. When all was said and done I walked out with a Stag model 8. She just felt right when I held her. Next step, to customize her :-)
