Customer Reviews for Smith & Wesson M&P15-22 MOE .22 LR 16" 25RD

Got this AR22 for my wife. She loves it. I love it too when she let's me use it. Very accurate and cheap ammo. Buy one!

The most fun you'll ever have. All the joy of shooting the AR platform without the noise and cost. Have seen other variations at the range, but I've not had even the smallest issue with the S&W 15-22 (and that's four total as everyone liked it so much I bought them for my sons). VERY accurate.

Awesome firearm and service as usual from buds magpul products are a nice addition to any firearm

The weapon itself I love it. Magpul furniture is nice and I am running a red dot that works well with the MBUS sights. Very accurate right out of the box. Head shot on a cotton tail at 50 yards proved that for me. Also comes with a tool to adjust the front post on the MBUS. Eats SUPER X 40gr with zero issues. Also running an AFG and a vertical grip so my wife and kids have multiple grip otions. All the extras add quite a bit of weight but I want them comfortable with this platform so they don't find the higher caliber AR'S intimidating. The magazine is stamped as a 25 rounder but after 250 rounds I cannot get it to hold more than 24. This is issue is causing me to knock off a star. As for the fit, finish and function of the weapon itself all are flawless and would warrant a 5 star rating on their own. Buy this gun and you will be very happy with it.

Not sure what I can say that hasn't already been said. I put 250 rds through it (Aguila Super and CCI JHP Minimag) with no malfunctions. If you're adding a micro red dot make sure you also get a .8" or 1" riser. I added Primary Arms MD-RBGII which needs a .8" riser for co-witness with magpul sights. No regrets with the purchase or who I purchased it through!

Buds did their job, the firearms dealer did his job, buds system of recommended firearms dealers works well. This is an excellent .22 Rifle. I fired a hundred rounds through it first day with no failures. The AR platform is easy to operate. I like the ability to lock the bolt open. It field strips easily for cleaning and maintenance. The Smith and Wesson 25 round magazine is easy to load. I always field strip a new firearm before using and usually find a thick protective grease on internal parts that needs to be cleaned out and replaced with gun oil. Interestingly, this rifle was dry as a bone inside, no oil or grease on anything. I would definitely recommend field stripping and oiling this rifle before first use.

ABSOLUTELY beyond pleased with this product. And even though I've shot multiple caliber AR's, a buddy strongly suggested purchasing this one as my first AR to own, and it was the perfect choice. First, the ammo is super cheap and if you shoot often it won't put a hole in your wallet. Second, the mechanics on this rifle work beautiful and are simple to clean. S&W truly did a fine job here. Just yesterday I put 500 rounds through it with no problems or jams...even though the ammo I was using wasn't best quality (dicks sporting goods had a ridiculous sale on 22LR ammo). Aside from the rifle...I'd hoped processing the order would have been quicker through Buds, but they did a great job in the end. You can count on me that I will order again and again from Buds and widely recommend these guys. Plus they have 90-180days layaway?!?! I'm going to be in trouble with that kind of option! lol

Great gun for cheaply practicing with your AR-15. These MOE 15-22s are excellent. They eat all kinds of ammo and tons of it. I bought a few Plinkers Tactical mags that hold 45 rounds and one day at the range I ran five of those mags in a row and to the end the rounds flew true! It's a beautiful gun and I would never sell it. As always Buds got the gun to me quickly and the prices are right! Thanks Buds!

Wow !! What a fun gun to practice with for the entire family. If you own a full size AR, this is the perfect gun to practice with, and much cheaper to shoot ! It can be accessorized to the owner's preferences. Check the barrel nut frequently to ensure that it does not loosen significantly. Check the S&W Forum for more information on this. Overall I am extremely pleased with this rifle, and as I said before it is fun to shoot.

My son and I love this rifle. So light and accurate, over 5000 rounds through it and no malfunctions, of course, I clean it every time I use it and shoot good ammo through it. I bought it over 5 months ago and was waiting a while before I reviewed it. It's awesome, very reliable. Get it, you won't regret it.

Always looked at AR but wanted to have something more affordable. What a great buy. Fun at range. Accurate and performs well. Now a family favorite. Would recommended if you want a taste of AR 15 without a large investment

I cleaned the rifle before taking it to the range with a box of Remington golden bullets. The manual says these don't preform well so I was expecting some ejection problems but 400 rounds were fired and not a single problem. The second time to the range I fired about 450 rounds of Federal bulk ammo and again not a single problem. On top of this, my three high school age nephews used their various ammo and fired at least another 200 rounds of rapid fire with no problems. I read and watched many on YouTube many reviews before this purchase but I am still very impressed with this rifle. I love the MOE style. A big factor in this purchase was the adjustable stock. My 8 year old son has a Savage Cub and I needed something for my daughters to shoot on their occasional trips to the range. Rather than getting them a youth rifle, I got this and it is a lot of fun for the everyone. Great transaction from Buds.

I bought one of these from Buds a month ago and have had a ball with it. The firearm works great and is very lightweight, I have let my wife handle it and she loves it. Buds service was outstanding. I'll be buying other products.

I ordered my rifle about a week and 1/2 ago and it finally came in today. This was my first experience with buds so I was a little disappointed with the order time. I did receive an email today with an apology for the delay which makes it all ok in my book! Thanks Buds...good customer service go a long way. As for the rifle, it’s an excellent little shooter. Looks great, feels great and performs how it should. Don’t expect to drive any tacks at 200yds with it, but then again it’s not a target rifle. Buds has a great price and when you add that to a great product....everyone wins! BUY IT! FROM BUDS!

This is an up date to my last review. I have shot this rifle alot since my last review, I couldn't ask for a more reliable rifle. I don't know how many round I have got through this gun, but it is an easy 2K+. Got a total of 5 mags for it, all factory, all run great. Have had only a small # of FTF, only one type of ammo that I don't normally buy anyway. I have shot many types through it. But my favorite, CCI blazer, shoots great. I like thisgun so much I am getting another when funds allow.

I got this rifle after reading reviews and looking on youtube at videos, when it first came out it was a jamomatic by all reports. but after looking at a lot of differant .22LR gun and hearing that a small issuse with the gun was fixed I jump on it. I am a big fan of Magpul and this model was for me. on this day 3/26/11, I ran to the range to test it out. But with a strong wind in the face and temps only just breaking the 30's I only checked funtion, only 80rds shoot, and I only trouble was a ammo one (very light load, short cycle). It ate every round like candy, even with a full 25 in the clip. I feel we are going to spend a lot of time at the range together this year. now just to find a few more clips

I have been waiting on this gun to be built for 20+ years.. Smith & Wesson pulled it off.. Everything I wanted in a .22cal rifle... I wanted a .22 that functioned like my Colt and Bushmaster 5.56 cal.. This one does just that!! As always Buds delivered the goods once again.. Range report:::: I have ran around 850 CCI mini mags and Federal bulk ammo through this weapon and only had one FTF.... I am almost positive this failure to feed was my fault.. I am truly happy with this purchase...

This is an amazing gun. I recieved it today and gave it a thurough cleaning. I then ran 200 rounds of Federal Bulk Pack ammo through it without one single failure. Not one!!! I have three Smith and Wesson mags for it and each one ran perfectly. She's easy to shoot and looks good doing it. After I ran few mags through her, I added a cheap NCstar red-dot tactical and it became even more fun to shoot. Lots of people asked lots questions at the range. I'd give the gun 6 stars if I could. I give Bud's a three star rating on this purchase. I ordered the gun and paid via credit card, two or three days later (over the weekend) the price dropped signifigantly. I called (before the gun had shipped) to see if they would match their current price and they said no. It would have been a $30+ savings... Additionally they took the full seven business days to ship this out so it took two weeks from the date of order. While this is perfectly acceptible, I have read so many (dozens if not hundreds) of positive reviews stating how quickly Bud's usually ships their products. I wish this gun had fallen into that quick shipping category. This was my first Bud's purchase. I will certainly be using Bud's in the future and I am very happy with the product that they delivered. I am also very happy with the price i paid (I just would have been happier if they would have adjusted the price as stated above) Ultimately, I wish they had been a bit more on the ball with this one order.

This rifle is so bad ass, it may be the cause of global warming. Crazy accurate! I could easily hit the a 3" circle at 40m while standing/off hand with the flip up sights straight out of the box. Shooting 200rds of bulk ammo, only 2 separate hiccups, during some extreme rapid fire montages. Super light!
