New to rimfire questions

[Gunguy1]

I'm new to rimfire and I'm considdering buying the S&W MP 15-22 (because the wife found out that I spend approx. $300/month on ammo).

I've been reviewing the flow chart for legal rifles etc. Etc. But I just wanted to make sure I'm getting this right.

1) I don't have to worry about a bullet button and/or "evil features" as it is "rimfire" rifle and therefore not subject to the Assault weapons definition, right?

2) can I have .22 magazines for that rifle that hold more than 10 rounds? Or is that still a no-no?

3) are there any other restriction (that now apply, or no longer apply) that I should be aware of as I'm going from centerfire rifles into rimfire?

Any input would be much appreciated!

no need for BB the 15-22 is 100% legal

mag rules are mag rules apply what you follow for your AR and it stands the same here.

the 15-22 currently does not have any restrictions

Any input would be much appreciated!

If you already own +10 round mags that will function in that gun, you may uses them. You cannot build or import new ones, same rules as centerfire.

Another answer is in Dillon blue. Ever consider reloading? What calibers are the $300 a month going to?

Can't go wrong with the S&W MP 15-22. Love mine!

I would have to agree shooting the bigger calibers will get old fast and ding your pockets heavily especially when you shoot with a bunch of friends. I took this route in shooting .22 and love it, you wont be disappointed shooting cheap while still feeding the addiction.

I have about 5k rounds through my 15/22. It has worked without fail since I bought it. My 2 boys and I can burn through 500-1k rounds of ammo in a day at the range. I don't think I could afford to take them shooting if it was center fire ammo.
