.... .22LR rifle, PSA has a pretty good sale on these this weekend:

http://tinyurl.com/opnxuaq

The $299 price is $50 to $100 less than these usually sell for. Terrific
rifle, very accurate right out of the box, looks and size just like my
standard AR 15 other than the slightly smaller in diameter barrel. Much
more accurate than the more common Ruger .22LR rifles.

Here's a snap of mags from each of the rifles, a 10-round PMAG for my
..223 Rem AR 15, and the 25-round S&W mag for the .22LR

I don't see anything about optics. Does it have a Weaver rail that
will acept a standard scope mount? Can the trigger be customized?

It does say "quad rail" so I assume they mean the forward hand guard
is a quad picatinny rail.
The good news it takes anything "Weaver" but it won't take a regular
.22 "tip off" scope unless you put longer screws on it.

I still do not see the allure of this kind of gun unless you are
channeling some Vietnam war fantasy.


The M&P 15-22 will accept a lot of AR "accessories" without modification
to either. I have a scope I use on mine with an "AR type" mount. The
front and rear sights that come standard with the rifle are the
removable AR sights that slide right on or off the rail. An AR
aftermarket trigger will drop in, as will an AR stock and an AR
handgrip. I changed the handgrip on mine to a Hogue model I like better.
I also installed an ambi safety. I still have the stock trigger, which
seems ok to me.

The "allure" to me was the rifle's light weight, ergonomics, accuracy
out of the box. It's easy for me to shoot it accurately off-hand. You'd
have to spend a lot of money on a Ruger 10/22 to get it to shoot as
accurately off-hand as the M&P 15-22.

There are a ka-zillion different firearms out there. Obviously, allure
is in the mind of the beholder.

Here's a photo of mine:

Shows scope, scope mount, Hogue grip, empty 25-round mag (with arrow for
my non-shooting friends..(as in, this part points towards the muzzle
when you load up ), right-hand side of ambi safety (just above and
to rear of trigger). Flash suppressor on barrel muzzle will be removed
when my sound suppressor paperwork comes back (takes two to three
months, I am told). Sometimes I fasten a red dot to the rails.

I suppose it is to shoot critters that are eating his wife's
ornimentals without disturbing the neighbors.

The best tool for that job is a suppressed air rifle.

Right, because I haven't posted here more than 1,000 times that I don't
shoot critters.

And who is Roger? Yet another right-wing asshole with a handle change?
Looks like a contender for my bozo bin.
