Smith & Wesson M&P15-22 Sport .22 LR 16.5" Threaded Barrel 25+1

The Smith & Wesson M&P15-22 Sport delivers AR-15 handling characteristics with economical .22 LR ammunition, making it an ideal training platform and recreational shooter. This polymer-framed rifle bridges the gap between rimfire affordability and centerfire familiarity. The threaded barrel accommodates suppressors and muzzle devices for enhanced versatility.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional .22 rifles, the M&P15-22 Sport replicates AR-15 controls, trigger feel, and manual of arms while firing inexpensive rimfire ammunition. The polymer receiver reduces weight by 20% compared to aluminum alternatives while maintaining structural integrity. Smith & Wesson's dedicated .22 LR design eliminates the reliability issues common with conversion kits, delivering consistent cycling with standard and high-velocity ammunition.
