HAVOC

The rifle wont go into safe unless cocked (like a 5.56 rifle). You can also store the rifle with the bolt out (leave the charging handle in).

Just bought my SR22 yesterday from a local gun store. $309.00 out the door.

I bought a 1/8" roll pin and drilled a hole in the lower part of the stock close to the reciever so yo can't see it from the side like the factory stock.

I have only shot it with the original iron sights (off a little). I need to take it to a shooting range to adjust the red dot and flip up sights. As far as reliability, I had one FTE in about 300 rds. I'm using the Federal 525 pack from Walmart. I recently bought 200 rds. of CCI mini-mags. Haven't shot them yet.

Updated with red dot, fore grip and sights

No worries there.

Waiting on some flip-up sights. Still need to order a red dot and vert fore grip.

Magpul Mil-spec MOE stock, XT rail panels, ladder style rail panels, Tango down pistol grip (all going on my M&P 15-22)

Waiting for them to ship. I bought a Tango Down grip, Magpul XT rail covers, ladder rail covers and a MOE (mil-spec) stock. I'll post pics once it's assembled. Now I just need a stubby foregrip and a red-dot of some sort.

The one I saw for $15 was a screw together rod style. I've read online that it's better to clean a firearm from chamber to muzzle. Any truth in that? I decided on the Otis tactical cleaning system. It has brushes for most calibers, patches and a tube of Otis ultra bore. It was $50 and comes in a very small case, perfect for tossing in the gun bag before heading to the range.

I bought eveything I needed for my rifle this week (case and extra mags). I'm still undecided on which cleaning kit to buy. Should I get one made just for the 15-22 or one that does other firearms? I only have the 15-22 as of now. I may be looking into getting a Glock 26 to carry. I saw a cleaning kit at Dick's for like $15.

Bought mine yesterday. On sale, 399.99 + tax.

Just came home from the LGS with my S&W M&P 15-22. I didn't see the MP5-22 in stock and didn't ask. When I head up there again (to get mags) I'll ask.

Why did the makers of these rifle include a button to help load them? I saw a video where the person is loading rounds without the button. It would be nice if the mags looked like their 5.56 counterpart. Is there a Magpul LULA that works with this mag?

I live in CT where a stock has to be pinned. If I buy an M&P 15-22, and can't shoulder it properly because the stock is in the incorrect position, can I remove the pin, adjust the stock to where I need it, and then re-pin the stock?

I know that in CT the stock needs to be pinned (non-adjustable). With that, I think the only way I'm getting a MP5 is to buy the solid stock version. I'll hit a couple gun stores this week and see what I could find out.

I went to a .22LR open shoot last week. I had to borrow somebody's rifle because I don't own one. I'm looking at getting one in the next couple weeks. Either the S&W M&P 15-22 or the H&K MP5 A5 .22 LR. Being from Connecticut, I'd like to know if the MP5 is available. The weapon I used (M&P 15-22) was real fun to shoot and the ammo is dirt cheap.
