Ah, ok, that makes more sense than a blanket CCI long rifle statement. I haven't shot 22 in a while so I will have to Google it to find the difference. Thanks
Stingers have slightly longer brass and wont fit into a match chamber

I have a S&W 15-22 and it has been a simply fantastic rifle.
Accurate (enough), reliable, and a good practice gun for a "real" AR because the manual of arms is exactly the same. I've put several thousand rounds of mostly CCI Standards through it and it has never hiccuped once.

I have been running my S & W 15-22 for years. Thousands of rounds, shoots anything. Gis. trigger. Two weeks ago I had a CCI Standard round blow out the side, blow the extractor clean out of the gun. Never found the parts. No injury. I e-mailed S & W, they assigned a case number and indicated that they would send replacement parts, but there was a 4-6 weeks back order for them. I thought that the extractor, which hinges on a detent/spring set up, had either fallen out or worked loose. maybe worn or broken spring on the detent. When I get the parts I will put it together and shoot it again. Very good little practice gun. I might suggest if one has heavy use, like mine, to replace the extractor parts occassionally, to head off the problem. The .22 case blew in two, so if anyone had been standing next to me they might gotten a piece of hot brass.

Sounds like you had an Out Of Battery (OOB) discharge.
If you read the first post of this thread he mentions the Appleseed ban on 15-22s for these types of failures. Plenty of videos showing you can pull the CH back a little and it will still drop the hammer.
Not to be a pain, but what exact parts do you recommend ordering just to have in case. I’ve had a 15-22 for several years and put maybe 2k thru it with zero issues. I’d like to be prepared though as my kids love this little rifle
I spoke to some people on the 15-22 FB page and they recomthe Volquartsen exact edge extractor, so I bought 2 with my eBay gift cards. Gonna replace them in both my son's and daughter's guns, and keep the OEM ones as spares. Some people also recommend a larger charging handle from Tacticool22. https://www.tacticool22.com
I have the tacticool22, charging handle on mine. I really like it, it is about the only mod on that rifle.
