Text from my wife: I just left Turners and bought...

[stevemac]

...a S&W M&P 15 .22!

Apparently she saw them on youtube and needed to have one, so while out shopping she stopped by Turners in Rancho and the rest is history. In 10 days I'll be in plinkers heaven!

Which accessories, ammo, etc shou;d I start stocking up on so that pick up day is a blast!

[desertjosh]

Awesome!

[jgstorm]

Good for you!

[71MUSTY]

Hope she lets you use it.

[sealocan]

So I'm guessing she's not a millennial.




Congratulations!

I'm also guessing we ALL think she's a keeper.

[ElvenSoul]

I remember when I used to be able to shoot the guns!

Haha. Almost a millennial but categorically a gen x'er. She missed it by 5 years.

Extra mags.

Consider a scope.

Buy lots of cci ARTactical .22lr, that was designed for the 15-22.
(Although mine shoots about everything.)

Awesome. Thanks. Mags, optics, and ammo are certainly on the buy list. If she asks me if we can put one of my other optics on her 22 I'll just say those are for a different caliber, not 22

Don't forget a case to carry all your goodies. I use this 32" sling bag. Looks like a snowboard bag - very discreet.

I was actually shocked when the MP22 with irons was doing groups just as good as my Colt AR15 with irons at 25 yards. I think they're great rifles and if I didn't already have many 10/22's I'd probably own one also.

if your just going to go out and spray lead buy the cheapest 22LR ammo and blast away...if your going to try for best accuracy then start with the cheapest ammo and work your way up to the better match grade ammo.

CCI standard velocity seems to shoot pretty well in a lotta 22s but the german ammo seems to shoot the best and from what ive seen the ammo in the 1085 and low velocity shoots best.

Read that Appleseed banned M&P 15-22's for out of battery discharges on multiple rifles during classes OP

Anybody know if S&W has taken care of the problem?

[stevebla]

She get a gun you get a gun! Its the law. Have fun.

The ban is still ongoing, doubt that S&W would even admit there was a problem. From what I can tell from the thread below, S&W knows there is a issue and hopefully new rifles are fixed. OP I wouldn't stand to the right of the rifle while shooting to be on the safe side. That being said, I know of a couple people with 15-22's and never had a single hiccup.
