Is the M&P 15-22 regulated in any way?

[blodter]

I'm 20 years old and looking to get my first firearm. There's no doubt in my mind that the Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 is the rifle for me. My only question is- are there any sort of regulations that would prevent me from getting it since I am under 21? I will most likely get the model with the SKU: 811033 (http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/..._766348_-1_757913___ProductDisplayErrorView_Y)

Cash and carry, not regulated.

Beautiful! Thanks much!

You can have the gun, but not the magazine (25 rounds). Be sure to specify one with 10 round mags if you are ordering online. You can buy and pick up the larger mags out of state, but not in MD.

I made sure to notify the seller that I am unable to receive the 25 round magazine. Hopefully they're kind enough to include a 10 round magazine. I've heard nothing but fantastic things about Sportsman Outdoor Superstore's customer service, though, so they'll probably swap out the mag.

In Hagerstown you're close enough to PA that you can just hop over the state line and pick up some hi-cap mags.

I got a Colt LE6920 from them a couple weeks ago and they swapped out the 30 rnd mag with a MD compliant one. Good folks to deal with.

Damn, that's a great price.

Good choice. You'll love it. Just follow the directions for loading the mags and you won't have any problems.

Is this correct about still being able to purchase these in state? Even with the flash hider?

Since the stock is collapsible and not folding and there's no grenade launcher you can have the flash hider on a semi automatic centerfire rifle and not be a copycat weapon.

Since this is a rimfiire it's even less questionable.

The FIRST test of a copy cat firearm is CENTER FIRE. So 15-22 is not a copy cat from that point. No reason to even consider any other tests.

Can you buy this online and have it shipped direct to you?

Nope, it needs to be sent to an FFL and do the paperwork/background check there. Just like any firearm.

That's what I thought thank you

ALL firearms need to be transferred through an FFL, not between residents of the same state, and the buyer must be physically present at the FFL for the transfer.

Not private sales of unregulated firearms, those can be done face to face
