OutdoorHub 11.28.11
Columbus, GA– Engineered on a high strength polymer upper and lower receiver, the two newest Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 models benefit from reduced weight while retaining the looks and familiar operating features of the standard M&P15 rifle. Each of the Smith & Wesson .22 caliber M&P rifles features Realtree APG . One of the rimfire rifles comes with a pinned stock while the other features a six-position collapsible stock and an A2-style flash suppressor. The semi-automatic rifles feature a 16-inch barrel with a twist of 1 in 15 inches. And, both are standard with an A3-style flat top upper receiver, a quad-rail handguard for easily mounting optional accessories and an A2 pistol grip for improved firearm control.
These Smith & Wesson tactical rifles also feature a fully functional charging handle, an AR-15 style magazine release, bolt catch and a two-position receiver mounted safety. The M&P15-22 is complete with a removable A2-style front post sight, an adjustable A2-style rear sight along with a single-stage trigger.
By remaining true to the standard AR-15 design while offering all of the preferred features found on the M&P Rifle Series, the M&P15-22 is well suited for a variety of recreational shooting applications while also being an extremely viable training firearm for law enforcement and military personnel.
With its carbon steel barrel, the M&P15-22 has an unloaded weight of 5.5 pounds. It is designed to accept all 1913 Mil. Std. rail adaptable accessories and most standard after-market AR-15 pistol grips.
