Yup.

[Casual Friday]

This, and a rim fire can would be pure sex.

[ASH556]

These accessories will be added + my .22 can. Mini me it will be!

Need KevinB and the group at LAW to make a folder for it. I'll never ask for another gun thing again I swear!

[Up1911Fan]

I have the rifle, but think I'll be needing one of these.

Has anyone put a silencer on the rifle. Im wondering how the polymer is going to handle that weight.

I’ve been thinking about getting a Ruger Charger, now I think I’ll wait and see how this goes

It's fine, I've got a can on the rifle which also has a polymer receiver.

[BobM]

The email I got also showed a .223 AR M&P15 pistol as well. No clue yet on actual availability.

[Wake27]

Finally. Odd timing with the whole NFA resurgence against braces but this is much moar rebutted than cutting down a rifle to SBR.

Actually, I would’ve preferred something to mimic more 5.56 ARs instead of .300 BLK, so a 10.3-11.5 barrel.

Awwwwwww yissssss. I need to SBR my rifle and then grab one of these for the upper.

[Sanch]

Hurry up S&W, please get these to gun store shelves by Jan 19th, so I can take it on a planned boating trip with me to celebrate Time’s Man of the Year being sworn into office the next morning.

The .22 ones are available on Gunbroker — I bought one Monday.

[Casual Friday]

This is kinda cool. It's cheaper than making a two stamp gun.

I got mine on GB cheap, and ended up selling it after one single magazine through it for a huge profit to a friend of mine, who really helped me out when I needed cash in a hurry. I don't feel bad for making that profit, as he sold it soon after to some guy and cleared a quick $100 profit on it. I had a couple of guns that really sold high. The one that really killed me was when a bidding war broke out on my Astra A100. I liked the gun well enough, one of many perfectly fine Astra guns, but I made like $200+ on it. It was crazy how these two guys kept jacking the price up. It was in about 99% condition, with the box, 3 mags and even the sales receipt, but $520, including shipping was just crazy. The winner loved it, and the feedback I got on it from him was very nice. Selling like a dozen guns paid my taxes and mortgage for a month as a bonus, and it was the turning point in my finances, as I've sold only a couple of duplicate guns and added a ton more to my collection.

I would want to familiarize myself with the ATF guidance on selling guns for profit.

I have a CMMG 22lr upper (16") on one of my lowers. It's a blast as it is, but just the other day I was thinking of a short barrel and running it on one of my SBR lowers. I use the Better-Mag adapter for 15-22 mags; never had a malfunction and the gun will run with absolutely any 22lr ammo (versus my wife's 10/22 and 22/45)

[johnson]

Is this pistol worth getting instead of a short upper to put on an SBR'd lower? I've never owned a semi auto .22 rifle and the 10/22 always won out over the AR platform when the topic came up, if starting from scratch.

The issue with a .22 AR upper is that almost everything costs as much as a 5.56 upper.

Why wouldn't anything decent cost as much as a cheap 5.56 upper ?

.22 ammo is cheap, that doesn't mean decent guns chambered for it are. Just like people bitching about quality (S&W / Ruger) .22 revolver costs.

If the difference in ammo costs the first year(especially this year) don't exceed the cost of the .22 upper PF might not be your kind of place.

The 10/22, like the SIG SP2022 and the S&W 442/642 revolvers, is an anomaly in that both sunk costs and efficiency from building millions of them have artificially suppressed the price.

LGS where I used to work got some in. Put $100 down on one today to hold until year end bonus and Christmas cash come in. Handling the display model, it’s everything I wanted. I have a Timney trigger in a drawer I’ll drop in it, then something like a cheap Sig or Vortex dot and a Surefire. Yessir!!!

GJM have you gotten yours yet? Any feedback?

[GJM]

Picked mine up today at the LGS. Very attractive looking and feeling. Hit the range, and it would not feed Mini Mag 40 grain jacketed ammo. I lubed it, and it still would not get through a part of a magazine. Tried Fiocchi and same result. Will call S&W in the morning for a return label. Darn.

[rayrevolver]

I wish this would have come out 4 years ago when I was shooting a lot of 22 at night. No issue with the full size 15-22, it was just a long setup with a can. Back then people wanted $700+ for used 15-22 pistols and I wanted to build a replica of my SBR.

Feel like I Iearned a lot about weaponlights... And that I was in need of some good lowlight instruction.

Hmm, maybe get one for the "kiddos"...

[eric0311]

Is S&W selling the short barreled upper as a stand alone item?

All that work on the M&P15/22 pistol lower?

Bummer man. My 3y/o sport model ran everything I put in it. Hope S&W can turn it around quick for you. Also (selfishly) hope it was just a fluke.

[HCM]

All that work on the M&P15/22 pistol lower?

Nope - it's a complete pistol which uses the same mags as the Tippman rifles.

I had some concern about getting into another type of mag but it runs great.

I wasn't intending to sell them for a profit, I was severely hurting for cash to pay taxes and bills, and was hoping just to come close to breaking even. How would I know people would put crazy high bids on a couple of them?

Wouldn't feed? That's odd. I've heard of extraction issues which people generally solve with a volquartsen extractor.

Did you try another magazine?

I just had the one mag, so I figured I would let the factory sort it out.

Tippman is inbound.

Glad I got the Tippman instead.

No doubt you made the right choice H. I was visiting w/ a SC M bud Mon. before a match, had my 2 yr. old M&P 15-22 out asking him a question, he said hold on & returned w/ his M4-22 MMSSA Comp Edition. As soon as he put it in my hands I started coon fingering it & was sold. I'm now negotiating w/ one of his 2 GM SC teen age daughters about buying her spare Tippman as they very much mimic the feel/handling etc. of my 3G SBR.

[BobM]

This morning I test fired one that was seized last night. Now I want one.
