Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 .22LR Rifle 25rd FDE Polymer Stock

The Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 delivers AR-15 training capability at a fraction of the cost with reliable .22LR performance. This Flat Dark Earth polymer variant provides the same manual of arms as centerfire AR platforms while offering affordable high-volume shooting for skill development and recreational use.

What Makes This Different

Built on a dedicated .22LR platform rather than a conversion kit, the M&P 15-22 eliminates the feeding issues common with rimfire conversions. The polymer construction reduces weight to just 5.5 pounds while maintaining the familiar AR-15 ergonomics. Smith & Wesson engineered this rifle specifically for .22LR cartridges, resulting in more consistent cycling and extraction compared to adapted centerfire designs.

Key Features

• Dedicated .22LR bolt and barrel system for reliable rimfire performance
• 25-round polymer magazine with anti-tilt follower design
• Six-position telescoping stock with Flat Dark Earth finish
• Picatinny rail system compatible with standard AR accessories
• Removable front and rear MBUS-style backup sights
• Threaded 16.5-inch barrel (1/2x28 TPI) ready for suppressors or muzzle devices
• Single-stage trigger with crisp break and positive reset

The M&P 15-22 excels in training environments where shooters need to develop AR-15 muscle memory without centerfire ammunition costs. Competition shooters use it for practice sessions, while new shooters appreciate the reduced recoil and muzzle blast. The threaded barrel accommodates suppressors for even quieter operation, making it suitable for backyard plinking where noise restrictions apply.
