Introduction

A high-performance tactical .22 outfitted with Magpul®’s popular M-LOK™ system, the Smith & Wesson® M&P® 15-22™ Sport Rimfire Rifle gives shooters customizable shooting performance. Compatible with most standard AR15 components and accessories, the M&P 15-22 Sport features a 10″ M&P slim handguard with M-LOK slots, readily accepting a variety of M-LOK-compatible, aftermarket accessories without removing the handguard. The gun itself features a carbon steel barrel with a corrosion-resistant Armornite® finish, a functioning AR-style rear charging handle, and a shell deflector for added protection against accidental injury and enhanced performance. Popular Magpul MBUS® folding sights mount easily on the gun’s integrated flat-top rail, while the 6-position CAR stock provides a custom fit and feel for improved comfort and control. Includes one 2″ M-LOK rail panel. 25-round capacity. The M&P15-22 SPORT features a 1-inch M&P slim handguard that incorporates the popular Magpul M-LOK system. The M-LOK system allows rifle owners to easily customize their M&P15-22 SPORT by adding accessories without removing the handguard. It comes with removable Magpul MBUS front and rear folding sights that are lightweight and durable, further enhancing the performance and value of the M&P15-22 SPORT

The M&P15-22 was designed to be a less expensive alternative for training with an AR-15 style rifle, as the rifle itself is much less expensive than most AR-15s, and the .22 LR ammunition is often much less expensive than the .223 Remington/5.56×45mm NATO. The rifle features a safety and bolt lock that operates just like an AR-15’s. The M&P15-22 can also be an alternative in jurisdictions that restrict magazine capacity for centerfire cartridges.

The M&P15-22’s lower recoil is used as a way to ease new shooters into the sport, allowing them to familiarize themselves with AR-15 controls without the fear of excessive recoil or noise. The disassembly process is very similar to the AR-15 and S&W M&P 15. The lower receiver detaches from the upper with two captured pins. The lower receiver contains a standard M&P15 trigger assembly that is compatible with most AR-15 trigger groups. The upper receiver contains the bolt, barrel, and charging handle. However, the upper and lower receivers of the M&P 15-22 are both deliberately incompatible with standard AR15/M4 uppers and lowers. In 2016, Project Appleseed temporarily banned the use of M&P15-22 rifles at their shooting clinics following a series of out-of-battery discharges, pending a full investigation and correction from Smith & Wesson. This was based on several incidents that occurred in multiple states, including one that injured a shooter on the line and another where multiple cartridges were fired with but one trigger pull.
