Dude, excellent S&W M&P 15-22 Project. I am torn between this rifle and an old-school style Ruger 10-22 target rifle. Somebody help me.
If you want outright accuracy, get a 10/22 and put a decent barrel on it. If you're looking for tacticool fun, get the AR.

A 10/22 with a good target barrel and stock is scary-accurate... a real tack driver. Just be aware that, most likely, bulk ammo won't feed well in the Benz-cut target chamber. You'll have to use better ammo.

It is purely matter of personal preference. 
Nothing wrong with 10/22. They are excellent rifles, shoot great and very accurate out of the box, no doubt.
On the other hand, this project of mine is to put together a "light weight" and fun to shoot "toy", with lots of cool factors, in .22lr AR platform/M4 looks and with a certain budget in mind. And the M&P 15-22 fit the purpose perfectly.
.......... and most of all, my son likes to shoot it as well. That is a HUGH plus.
and yes, I really love this "tacticool" rifle. Hmm... I'm kind of like the name btw.

The budget is $1,300 for the 15-22 and accessories.
I'm gonna buy an AR lower and build the rest from the parts that Maxi's switched off of the .22
Ah hem ...

I have asked Timney that which of their triggers would be perfectly fit and work best on the 15-22. Stay tuned for the update.

Midway USA has Timney Triggers but I cant find the 669s part number you listed? They have a Part Number 6680S 4lb solid for AR15. Looks ljust ike your picture. Dealer Price is $179.99 I wonder if that is the one?
Where are you getting yours from?

The 669 S is 4.5 lbs pull weight. I don't see the 4.5 lbs list in Midway site.
I had the part number directly from Timney.

I sneaked out and went to OnTarget range this evening. 
The 15-22 was throughly cleaned since last week. I brought 3 mags of Federal Lightnings, 3 mags of Mini Mags, and 50 rounds of Rem. Thunderbolt.
The rifle performed flawlessly.
Only one mulfunction, a Thunderbolt stuck/crushed vertically in the magazine lips and failed to get in the chamber. Other than that, no problem of any kind.
The Walmart's Lightnings were surprisingly good. Not as good as the Mini Mag, but definitely get along better with my 15-22 than the Golden Bullet.
Thunderbolts were ok as well, but they weren't very consistant. Some of rounds sould very weak. I don't have much confident using it. So no more Thunderbolt for the next time.
So, I have a conclusion that I will be using CCI's Mini Mags, CCI's Stingers and Federal Lightning ammos for my 15-22 from now.
I really had a blast tonight and the rifle's really fun to shoot. Can't wait until the next time.

I'm glad to hear your 15-22 is holding up! I'm still waiting to get my 15-22 back from Smith & Wesson. It's been there for about a week now.
I think I will hold off on the trigger until I get mine back and shoot it a few times. I want to make sure the repair holds. I've been stocking up on CCI ammo so that should work just fine.

Fedex just brought my repaired Smith & Wesson 15-22 to the door! I wasn't expecting it so soon but it is back from repair! Paper in box said it was " Repaired: Updated To Latest Spec." Thats all it said. That was a quick turnaround! They just received it on Tuesday Nov 10th and I get it back Friday Nov 13th.
I can tell they shot it alot! It is very dirty. I sent it in to them clean.
