One of my buddies recently purchased an M&P 15-22, said he loves it. I've been thinking about getting one - or a full-up AR - for some time, since that's likely what I'll carry in the Air Force, and I want more training than the AF will give me.
Has anyone here tried it? Lots of problems in the early models with the extractor, but those seem to be worked out - at least, you can send it back to S&W and they'll fix it.
Same controls as an AR, bolt locks back, 25rd mags, flat top, quad rail. So I could mount the same accessories on my .22 as my .223/5.56 duty (or personal) rifle. Recoil will obviously be less than the .223, but not terribly less.
Suggestions?
