Great practice for my AR that is relatively inexpensive to shoot. Same controls.

I used this for shooting steel challenge. It's accurate and, with the right ammo, it just runs and runs. Recommended.

There is just no down side to this rifle. It's such a fun piece of equipment. Easy to operate, easy to take down and clean, shoots on the money straight out of the box. I've bought three of them through the years, sold them one at a time and got a new one just for the heck of it. If you can horde some ammo, this is basically the Mazda Miata of M-4 style rifles!

"I got the S&W MP15-22 MOE edition, which from my research not many places even carry it, but Bud's had it and I was able to put $100 down to hold it as a part of their 90 day layaway program and paid it off 1.5 weeks later. Another advantage to buying from Bud's. The shipping was nice and quick as well, I'm very satisfied. The rifle itself is awesome, there were obviously cheaper 22 options out there but after getting it, it's obvious right off the bat quality wise, that I made a good choice. It's bad ass sums it up.

This rifle is really fun to use, I have served in U.S. Army (infantry) shooting all of the big caliber weapons, but this little .22lr is one of my favorites. Besides the polymer body, this rifle feels just like the real thing, but more importantly for me is the quality and ease of disassembly. I was going to buy a Ruger 10/22 but when I saw how similar (M4 rifle) and easy this rifle breaks down for maintenance I just had to get it. Not many 22lr rifles are as easy to clean as this one. Yea I get looked at by my veteran friends like its a toy and I cannot do much with it but when they try it out they love it, plus they use their 5.56 AR15 about once or twice a year, because 5.56 ammo is not cheap. I try to use mine at least twice a month. This is a good training rifle because it operates like any other non-22lr AR rifle, with the other AR Style 22lr manufacturers there are some noticeable differences that any AR fan can see, many of them is just like a 10/22 inside with AR body built around it. If your thinking about buying an AR style 22lr and you are still wondering what to get, well go on youtube and see for yourself how the other manufactures build their 22lr AR's compared to this one. Only issue with this rifle is that you may get yours with a loose extractor which is not Budsguns.com fault, it is an issue that comes from the S&W manufacturer, but S&W knows this and fixes the issue for free. I sent my S&W 15-22 to S&W and got it back within 2 weeks, and now I do not even get one extraction issue with this rifle, it works great. Only misfire you will get are with the cheapest 22lr bullets you buy, but this rifle even spits these out pretty well. Its not the Caliber of the weapon that makes you a Marksman, it is your technique and knowledge of it. Will

Bought this for the kiddo. Took it out with a 500 round brick and just plinked away at silhouettes. Not a single malfunction! He loved it! Great service from Buds as well!

This is the greatest little rifle for pinking and it is very accurate as I give it five stars. I think everyone should have one my grandson love it as well.

This gun was my first order from Bud's and it went perfectly. Fast, free shipping. Picked it up right down the street. As for the gun, it's terrific. The fit and finish is flawless. The guys at the store were jealous when I picked it up; that's how awesome it looks before you even put a round through it. I got some XTM rail covers for it in all four colors and mixed them up to give it a digital camo look. When I got it out to the range, it was deadly accurate, right out of the box. Never jams, always feeds perfectly, always hits the target. We started shooting pop cans in the field and we kept having to back them up because it was too easy. Obviously, it's a very small caliber, but that makes it an exceptional gun to play around with and practice. Should also be good for rabbits and other small game, though I have not hunted with it yet. Overall, it's a blast to shoot. Highly recommended.

Super accurate 22 rifle, even with factory flip up sights. magazines work perfect, unlike some of the other AR style 22's. Not ammo picky, no failure to fires, no stove pipes or jams, a little expensive but you get what you pay for.

Purchased this the same day I purchased a S&W AR10. This MP15-22 is a sweet little weapon. Love to just go out and shoot it. Over 1000 rounds through it since March and I always look forward to shooting it. Great service from Buds and a sweet weapon from Smith and Wesson. I see the price has dropped since I purchased mine. I may have to pick up another one of these...For the wife, of course._G_

For the price go with the one with the Magpul furniture already on. After reading all the positive reviews decided to gamble on this one. Had previously owned the chiapa m4. Out of the box this one performed great! Used variety of ammo Aguilar, CCI, federal and Remington bulk and after 400 plus rounds no ftes or ftfs. Very accurate dead straight but a bit low probably set up for longer distances I was shooting from the 7 yard line. Very pleased purchased 2 plinker tactical 35 round mags and they worked great! Only downside is this is a polymor gun. Very lightweight for youngens or wife/girlfriend. Buffer tube is fixed to receiver and non replaceable. If your looking for an all metal gun go with a cmmg upper and receiver of your choice. Over all pleased with this gun great shooter!

Nice rifle, you definitely save some $ out of the gate buying the magpul version with the upgraded stock, grip and rail covers, and also has a single point sling swivel attached with this version also. Rifle ate a few different brands of standard velocity ammo right out of the box without a cleaning, cci standard, magtech & auguila functioned perfect, rifle feels good in your hands and is fun with a red dot to boot, would definitely buy again.

This gun is a lot of fun. Worth every penny. A+ for Smith and Wesson. As for buds....shipping seemed a little delayed but in the end I am pleased.

gun arrived in perfect shape and in a timely fashion. Just ran a couple of magazines of american eagle through it and worked perfect, now I just got to get my suppressor for it. Great gun, this is our second M&P 15 22, I would put it in the same class, maybe a touch higher than the Ruger 10 22, a american classic

Great product. Everything was packaged nicely checked out thoroughly at my FFL before transfer. Have not shot the rifle yet but am confident it will live up to Smith & Wesson quality.

This is a great product. I was in the market for a .22 LR rifle that was a little more tactical than the basic (but great) Ruger 10/22. I could have bought the Ruger factory 25 round mags and saved a lot of cash, but I'm not at all dissapointed. The M&P 15-22 is a fantastic weapon. The Flat Dark Earth makes it appealing, in my opinion. Alright, on to the good stuff. I took it out for the first time, and it ran great. I was using CCI Blazers, and had one FTF all day. I believe it was due to ammo after inspection. If you're looking for a tactical .22, this is the one. I was having a hard time deciding between S&W, Colt, and Mossberg. The Colt is considerably heavier and made of metal. For my intended purpose, weight is a factor. Pros: Lightweight, Durable, Ease of use, and plenty of accessories. Cons: None yet. I recommend buying a couple extra magazines upon buying this rifle. Reloading 25 .22 LR rounds after each use takes away from the enjoyment of the rifle. Buds was great, as always. I always check buds for prices and they are hard to beat.

one of my favorite guns. i put a nikon p22 scope on it and it shoots great.. eats all ammo so far

This little gun is awesome! I have loved every minute with it. Have shot about 400 rounds through it so far using federal bulk ammo and have had no malfunctions whatsoever. Go ahead and spend the extra money for the Magpul equipment. Worth every penny and really tricks the rifle out. All I added to it was a Tru-Glo holographic red dot which enhanced the fun. I dialed in the MBUS back up sights and was consistently hitting center mass at 100 yards as well. Best rifle purchase I have made in a long time and dealing with Buds made it even more worthwhile. Fast shipping, great customer service with no hassles. Go out and get you one quick!

Absolutely LOVE my M&P 15-22 MOE in FDE. All parts (MBUS, MOE stock, pistol grip, and MAGAZINE) were in FDE as they should be!

What can I say, but outstanding!! As always, Buds was excellent. I ordered on Monday night, it arrived at my ffl Wednesday afternoon. Now that fast service! As for the rifle itself, it is so much fun I can hardly wait to go back to the range. I've put 150 rounds of CCI (stingers, velocitor, minis) through it and not one hiccup. I'm not normally a fan of FDE since everyone seems to do their rifle that color and I didnt want all black, but you cant pass up this deal. if you look at the accesories alone (stock, grip, sights, rail covers) they add up to over $100, if you were thinking about customizing one. it'll be interesting to see if an steel ar trigger group will work in this. with the exception of the barrel, the entire rifle is polymer, which I think is cool. I'm building my first ar and this will serve as good practice for getting used to handling/shooting the rifle, not to mention ammo is super cheap. if you're thinking about getting one of these, do it, you won't regret it.

Made out with this thing at 492!!! 529 now, must be inflation. Nice gun, definetly like the magpul mag it came with (matches stock) This thing loves the CCI mini's, not one hiccup in 200 rounds. Magpul flip up sights are a definte plus. You will want some extra mags.
