Picked up my 15-22 MOE today. After mounting up the little Bushnell TR-25 on it, I headed out for the range. Nary a hiccup in over 300 rounds of Walmart Federal Bulk ammo. I'm impressed. The bolt face looks like a carbon flavored GummiBear melted on it but it still ran 100%.
I don't think S&W has more than $75 in these guns but what can a guy do? Either ya pay the price or ya go home. I guess as long as it runs, I shouldn't squawk. I can live with the noticeable machine marks on the barrel exterior. The trigger is much better than I expected and is entirely shootable IMHO. The ID on the endcap on the handguard is a little smaller than I care for though. It appears to me that the plastic quad handguard wouldn't have to flex much before the endcap would make contact with the barrel.
No, it doesn't have the charm of an old Winchester 63 but the M&P is an excellent understudy for the AR and that's what I bought it for.
