Put a down payment on a S&W M&P 15-22 - The Firearms Forum

Mosin_Nagant_Fan · 02-17-2010, 12:30 PM

At a great price, too. Keep an eye out on this thread when I pay it off.

First AR15-like rifle, wish I could buy a real one (in .223/5.56), but this'll do.

The pic is what it looks like.

rjhauser · 02-17-2010, 05:45 PM

yep. here is what mine has ended up with so far. be warned, it is as addicting as crack....

rjhauser · 02-17-2010, 05:45 PM

and it only has 4 feet of rail space. not nearly enough

Mosin_Nagant_Fan · 02-17-2010, 06:02 PM

Dunno about the scope, I never had much luck in 'em, but I like your setup.

CORVETTE BRETT · 02-17-2010, 06:04 PM

optics look good friend, here is a few more ops.. many different ways to play with this little toy

CORVETTE BRETT · 02-17-2010, 06:13 PM

one more,,

all groups on target r at 50 yds rapid fire out of bags... except "test group" and it was me actually trying...

rjhauser · 02-17-2010, 06:38 PM

hey, corvette_brett, you need to look at the web site www.americantactical.us and either get that gsg form 1'd, or turn that can in post haste....

and as far as the scope, well, my eyes do not work out to 150 yards, but #3 son snuffed a squirrel in a tree at 150 over the weekend with it.

so i guess it works.....

Mosin_Nagant_Fan · 02-17-2010, 06:52 PM

I might try one of those red dot systems.

CORVETTE BRETT · 02-17-2010, 08:21 PM

Man the atf is killin me with this stupid suff.. ati don't even know when they will have the replacements... I'm goin to pay the 200 dollar tax and intregally suppress it...

Center Point makes a good, yet inexpensive one you can get at almost any Walmart.

I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

WildBill69 · 02-24-2010, 08:12 PM

I'm looking at getting one of these. Now that I've read this I'm sold.

Got mine a couple of months ago - haven't had much time to get it out but when I have, it's great. Have to say this is the most fun I've had with a .22 rifle.

One question. Does the rifle break down like it's .223/5.56 cousins?

CORVETTE BRETT · 02-25-2010, 07:43 PM

yes the lower parts kit is out of an ar-15... they are really good trainers

Mosin_Nagant_Fan · 02-26-2010, 02:46 PM

Finally got it, have a look. The camera crapped out on me, so I had to use my phone.

CORVETTE BRETT · 02-27-2010, 01:22 AM

Congrats on the new toy... and welcome to the disorder

Mosin_Nagant_Fan · 02-27-2010, 10:27 AM

One question. How the heck do you take off the sites without damaging the "thumb" screws?

rjhauser · 02-27-2010, 05:11 PM

try a flat head screwdriver. worked for me. and they are not on there all that tight.

Mine is like it's wielded on. I'm a pretty strong guy and I couldn't do it with my bare hands.

CORVETTE BRETT · 02-28-2010, 01:15 AM

Mine came off rather easy with just my hands but if you use a screwdriver use a very large 1 to keep. From damaging it

rjhauser · 02-28-2010, 09:02 AM

i have one with a very LARGE blade I use for automotive jobs....

RickC528 · 03-04-2010, 09:21 PM

rjhauser · 03-05-2010, 05:01 AM

Actually, the ones posted here look like it's aftermarket. Like the silver one and the black one with a muzzle-break.
