S&W M&P 15-22 Review

Northampton is not that far away.

And the wife always makes too much food (IOW, it might be worth the drive )

And the food is excellent. Reminds me I might have to make a trip. LOL

I took it down to the range today and had three to five failures each time that I put the magazine in. Sometimes the brass didn't eject, sometimes the round didn't chamber properly. The bolt would smash the cartridge upwards and it looks like I have all of these little dings where the bullets got jammed. A couple of live rounds stovepiped with the rim of the cartridge still being held in the magazine. I just got the rifle last week so I guess I should contact S&W and see what to do. I don't want to start messing with the ejector myself and making it worse.

If I were you I would take Pa Patriot up on his offer. You are not too far, and he has experience with that rifle now. He can take a look at it, and if you are experiencing the same issues, he can take care of it for you. Would be more than worth the drive, rather then send it back to S&W for them to do basically the same thing he will do, and it will be cheaper too.

Just sayin

Hello everyone!! I’m new to the forum. I’ve been trolling around here for a few weeks. I picked up a new MP 15-22 Saturday. Sunday I took it to the range and had the same symptoms as Solo four times in about 250 rounds. I had 2 CCI and 2 Federal stovepipe in the chamber before they fed. I bought two extra magazines when I got the rifle. I wish I would have indexed the mags before I shot with them as I have now done.

I am by no means a gunsmith. Is it normal to have forward and rearward movement with the magazine in the magwell? This rifle seems to. Does that have any effect on the round riding up the feed ramp into the barrel? Could that possibly cause the round not to feed?

I never had a round fail to eject. I had 2 Federal rounds fail to fire but feel it was the ammo.

Thanks for any help!

I purchaced my M&P MOE back in November as an early Christmas preasent to my self and I love it. I put a NcStar mil dot scope on it and it is a tack driver at 50 yards. I love to take my kids out to the range where they shoot DUM DUM lollie pops. They hoot and holler when the hit them and the lollie pop explodes into sugary dust.

the lollie pop explodes into sugary dust.

Well that's one way to fight tooth decay.

I picked up an MOE in November as well. It's a superb gun.

you can use paintballs on golf tees too, they make a nice splatter and are normally cheaper

I find that I have feeding issues if I use the thumb assist to just drop rounds into the magazine. Try loading them one at a time without the load assist and I believe it will clear up those feeding issues.
