I haven't even gotten my first rifle yet, but I'm curious on all this rifle:
 

HK 416 D145RS 22LR QUAD RAIL for $379

Anyone have any experience on this rifle compared to the S&W 15-22?

I'm considering this as a training rifle.

Not NJ compliant

Not NJ compliant

How so?

How so?

20 round magazine, adjustable stock, and flash hider/theaded barrel.  Would have to pay a FFL that does compliance work to fix all these problems.  Suggest you read up on some NJ gun law before your first purchase.

Stock barrel and brake.

Done, and compliance work being done on my current purchase as we speak.

 

I was concerned this was a forbidden name issue.  Is "HK 416" on the list?

Seems like a ton of work to make a .22 NJ legal..

As true as this is (10 round mags are available, stock can be pinned, thread adapter to accept 5.56 brakes, compliant brake, NJ compliant weld...), again this has the reputation of a solid rifle.

 

Compared to a plastic feeling of the S&W 15-22, is it worth getting a quality metal 22 rifle of this type for training?

 

From this feedback, I guess not.

I think the hk is made by the same company that does the colt 22. Through all the research I've done the colt is not anywhere near as good as the 15-22.

 

To be honest, the 15-22 has such a good track record why look anywhere else?

I thought this as well, Umarex I believe made it. I didn't look further but link posted says made by walther. Not sure if that's a new thing or same old thing.

Same company I believe
