This Smith and Wesson / M&P .22 caliber rifle is a good solution for the AR rifle enthusiast who wants to shoot on a budget. With the price of .223 and 5.56 on the rise shooting the popular and cheap .22LR is a very attractive option. This rifle is an excellent choice for the shooters who want to get the rest of the family involved in shooting. The .22 Long Rifle caliber is the ideal round for introducing marksmanship to children and novice shooters because of the ease of use and low recoil. And they get to shoot a rifle that looks and feels just like an AR-15. Now this rifle not only looks like an AR, it feels very much like one as well. bolt catch/release that helps mimic the feel of the standard .223s This is a feature that is not offered among most competing tactical .22 rifles on the market. The Polymer frame allows the M&P 15-22 to be extremely light weight making it not only easy to shoot all day at the range, but easy to carry out into the woods, while patrolling your ranch for varmints etc. I would actually consider this rifle a possible choice as a survival rifle along with a large brick of .22 ammo.
I have upgraded this one with a Volquartsen Competition Bolt, T-Rod (red) and Extractor. The quad rail has be cut back to a more barrel revealing length. I will include 2 barrel mounted bipods with the rifle which also comes with one 25 round mag and three 10 round mags as well as a new Tasco 3x9x40 scope. The pictures herewith show my set-up with my SilencerCo suppressor mounted thereon. I'm afraid that will NOT be included in this sale as that would be illegal.
