Reader Comments of the Week
“I bought an M&P 15-22 years ago and it is the best semi-auto .22 I have ever owned. It feeds every type of ammo I feed it without any problems. It almost never, if ever, had a feeding or ejecting problem. The only difference it has compared to the one in the picture is that it doesn’t have a threaded barrel which means no flash hider and it didn’t come with the pictures soft case. Even with the pictured sights it is very accurate with these iron sights. After firing 25 rounds at 25 yards it’s difficult to count how many shots I’ve fired because it seems like all of the bullets go through the same hole and I just cut out a small hole in the center to the target. For me, this rifle is a winner in all aspects. It’s my favorite .22 semi-auto rifle.”

“I have been to their store. It is run by veterans for all who want to but the last AR they will ever need. These rifles are built to survive anything you can throw at them. Nothing is left to chance. To all those who are asking for the price. First, tell me how much is your family worth? I have seen other AR manufacture’s sell for much more that the cost of these rifles. I would take one into battle any day of the week!!! Semper Fi!!!”

“We were enjoying a family outing at the outdoor gun range. I gave everyone a thorough safety brief, emphasizing muzzle forward toward the berm, at all times. My sis-in-law’s bf was hogging the S&W 1911 in .45 acp. He experienced a ftf. He had not tapped the mag hard enough to seat properly. Gun in hand, he turned to his left as he called out his problem. The gun was pointed directly toward the family lined to his left. I quickly grabbed the gun and turned it, and him, to face the berm. Without being nice, I proceeded to dress him down. I showed him how hard he needed to tap the mag to keep it running. He apologized and said it wouldn’t happen again. A new mag later, it happened again. As he turned left with gun in hand…again, I was right behind him. I grabbed the gun with my left and pushed him off the line with my right. I told him, ‘You’re done!’ I never let him shoot again.”
