Hi Tracy, yes the M&P 15-22 is not considered a AR rifle, so it does not need the heavy barrel. It is MD compliant. It even states on the S&W web site that this is MD compliant. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/5259/smith+%26+wesson+m%26p+15-22+sport+10+round+compliant , All these models are MD compliant >>> https://www.smith-wesson.com/products/mp-15-22?capacity=10 Stay safe & have a great day!
