Best AR style .22 rifle for around $500

[TwinTurboDiesel]

So there would be no problem shipping to PA FFL if I am a MD resident?

Not too sure. The one I got was sitting on the shelf at the shop and was cash and carry obviously. Some places won't ship to a different state then what your "billing address" is.

Some places will. When I bought my AUG I had it shipped to PA because the seller would not separate the rifle from the mags. The "bad" mags and rifle were sent to PA. I went to the FFL to pick up the mags and the PA FFL shipped the rifle to MD. Its a PITA but well worth it if they allow it.

Always ask both parties beforehand though.

Have heard a lot of negative feed back on these Ron.

Uh Oh...

I really wanted the S/W 15-22 but the mags are hard to get. The Gun Shop had a Colt and there were 2 20rd mags available.

Gun Rack has plenty mags in stock for the S&W models.

15-22. End thread.

Picked one up today. M&P 15-22 now in my arsenal. Complete with 25 and 35 round mags. Thanks for all the help guys. Now...any ideas for customization?

I scored an M&P 15-22 at the the Gun Shack today ... they had atleast three more when I left. Made it out the door for $550.

The Ruger SR-22 is similar to an AR but isn't considered an AR style rifle. It's also cash and carry. Costs more than $500 though.

That makes two of us.

I was there around 2:30 - 3PM.

I went up to PA to get mine. Gun Bunker had a bunch of 35 round mags for the 15/22. Went to the range today to try mine out...SWEETNESS!

Are the mags really that hard to find? Seems like you guys are finding them pretty easily.

They are like ammo. They can be hard to find. And may be for a while, as they are made by Magpul, which is moving their operation out of CO.

You can find them on GB and eB for very high prices.

Sportsmans Guide is allowing backorders, with a expected ship date of June.

I put several on backorder, and then got an alert from Midway, so I ordered 2 (their limit).

Go to the 15-22 subforum on the S&W forum site. You will see more pictures of customized 15-22s than you can ever get around to looking at. Mine have triggers, stocks, grips, and handguards changed out.

Threaded barrel for the 15/22 or no? Opinions?

 

[OH IT'S KINO]

^ absolutely

 

[Silence&Rage]

Sorry if this has been asked & answered. Is the S&W M&P 15-22 built on a standard AR lower. Could you add a .556 upper? Reverse of putting a .22 upper on a standard AR lower?

Turned to my friend the Interwebs and found my own answer (dedicated polymer lower - disregard.

Um, isn't the barrel already threaded for the flash hider?

 

[mdoffroad]

Some models yes, one model is no threaded barrel
