Hurray Rifle! M&P 15-22 MOE

[Slappy]

After waiting patiently for the past few weeks, my new M&P 15-22 MOE rifle came in! The rifle is extremely lightweight and comfortable to shoot. The Magpul MOE (stock, sights, grip) are fantastic and robust.

Naturally, It needed to get broken in. With new rifle in trunk, I ran around Memphis trying to find some CCI ammo to no avail (suggestions?) I ran Winchester Super X's through her for the first 175 rounds and then ran Wally World Federal Bulk Pack for the next 125 rounds.

I experienced 2 light strikes on the Super X's; 1 in the first magazine and 1 in the second magazine. No problems there after until the last 2 magazines I shot through her. Both were FTE with the Federal Bulk Pack. Overall I am pleased with the functionality of the gun. 4 issues out of 300 .22 LR rounds isnt too bad but honestly I expected better. Maybe it was the ammo or maybe it needed to get broken in but hopefully after a good cleaning it will be 100%.

For all of the TTIWWOP people, hang in there, its 5:30am.

Mine runs very well now after a little bit of a break in period. FTE was not uncommon in the first 500 rounds. Runs like a charm now.

Don't know how this sits with you but know of a gent that had similar issues. Cleaned it really well especially the FP channel and put a light coat of oil on the FP, problem solved. It ran like a Singer sewing machine after that. Give it a shot and see if it don't remedy the issue.

I did clean it before I went to shoot it but it was not very thorough. This time, I took the BCG apart and CLP'ed it and put Slide Glide on everything. Hopefully good to go now.

Think I've seen CCI ammo at Bass Pro recently. Try Guns & Ammo on Summer?
