Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles M&P 15/22

Anyone have experience with such things?

Lot of fun and shoot better than they should. Mine has a Sig Romeo 5 red dot. Pretty reliable if they're cleaned every 1k rounds or so. Breaks down for cleaning like a regular AR

Thanks! Last time I fiddled with anything of that style was in the early ‘70s and haven’t paid close attention to them since. Might be I will inherent one in a day or two.

had one ... not impressed .. reliable enough if you tune the extractor. accuracy was not at all impressive for me it went down the road

Look at the HK 416 22lr

I can’t say enough good things about the 15-22. I have been using one for five years, have around 40,000 rounds through it. Tuned the ejector and put in a Volquartsen extractor and it has been utterly reliable with HV or SV ammo. They will break a firing pin about every 15,000 rounds but Smith will send you a new one if you do.
I had an H&K 416 previously but like the 15-22 much better. The big advantage of the 15-22 over the 416 are similarities to the full size AR. All the controls are the same and most aftermarket stuff fits, especially triggers. With a 3.5# CMC drop in trigger, it is a pleasure to shoot.

Me too! I shoot the heck out of mine and really enjoy the rifle.

It has arrived. Shot very little, if any at all. Tight as a drum. We will see what we see. Needs a sight I reckon.

Laffin' here....perusing the world of sights/scope bases and rings etc....prices are nutz. Right off the chart. Never imagined I'd see scope bases priced in the 300/400 dollar range. Some of the dot sights were equally absurd. A longer barrel????? Almost cheaper to buy a new gun and be done. Laffin' here boss....

Lot of options out there. I just went with a Sig Romeo 5 on mine. Motion activated, don't have to worry about leaving it on. Dot goes small enough to make 100 yard steel targets easy . A little over $100 and they go on sale frequently

Does it mount on the rail found on the 15-22?

Yes it does. I also added Magpul MBUS which aren't really needed but I use them on my centerfire ARs as well

Thank you! Much appreciated.

Three and a half pound TriggerTech in this guy:



… along with a MagPul stock (from a Ruger MPR), Hogue pistol grip, and even an Ultradyne Athena linear compensator (left over from another project) to direct noise forward.

It came with a factory installed S&W M&P-100 red dot sight. But, I find the VX 1-4x20 scope most useful.

My only beef is with the integral “buffer” tube, which limits choice of stocks. Would like to be able to install a more stable A1 stock without a lot of alteration.

You're welcome

Have one I bought prob back 8-9 yrs ago....

Full camo finish.......fun rifle

Running iron sights currently

But.....picking up a new 10-22 SS take down this morning (:

I have gotten 1”/30mm scope mounts off of eBay for less than $30.00. No use spending big dollars for name brand mounts on a 22. I am using a Bushnell 1-4x AR 223 scope on my 15-22.

My Sig Romeo 5 arrived today. It is mounted and bore sighted. 😎
