    Great review!



  2. James Hereford on August 18, 2022 at 7:58 pm

    I use federal ammunition in my 15-22 and it does just fine. I have two problems with the Remington they shoot dirty and misfires at times so therefore Remington sucks.



  3. Juancho Man on August 18, 2022 at 7:59 pm

    Is there a difference between m&p 15 and 15 22?



  4. Wes I.G. on August 18, 2022 at 8:00 pm

    Mine is brand new. Jams every 4 to 8 rounds with the federal. Not sure if it’s the ammo or the gun. Had it oiled and cleaned, same issue so it’s not dirty.



  5. Pops n Cracks on August 18, 2022 at 8:01 pm

    I shot 3000+ Remington rounds… not a single problem.

    winchester bulk pack worked fine for me



  8. Edgar Andreasyan on August 18, 2022 at 8:04 pm

    How did you get the stock on there? Did u have to modify the buffer tube ?



  9. Deaux Deaux on August 18, 2022 at 8:05 pm

    Yeah the CCI sub sonic HP always jammed in my rifle along with the Remington. But you’re the 4th person that has recommended stingers



  10. Jairo Martinez on August 18, 2022 at 8:08 pm

    Good information 👍🏼



  11. kerman725 n5 on August 18, 2022 at 8:10 pm

    Mine will jam on Federal but not a real issue. The Winchester doesn’t work well yesterday Jammed 4 times my gun is same as yours.

    So whats the Top notch best Ammo for the 15-22 M&p ? cause I’m getting one for my birthday soon !



  13. Vernon Westfall on August 18, 2022 at 8:11 pm

    Change your extractor and it will shoot pretty much anything you want I have two 15/22s with thousands of rounds through them.



  14. Jager Cousins on August 18, 2022 at 8:11 pm

    Mine hates hallow points



  15. Matthew Marchetti on August 18, 2022 at 8:11 pm

    Mini Mag



  16. Brandon Meuleman on August 18, 2022 at 8:13 pm

    super x did not work well for me? anyone else have this problem



  17. Darrell Lang on August 18, 2022 at 8:14 pm

    I pulled out some ammo that was so old it was in a zip lock bag in the back of my locker It used all of it ( mixed rounds in the bag) and other then a round not going off no problems



  18. Keith Bradley on August 18, 2022 at 8:17 pm

    I’ve had my M&P 15-22 for about 3 years now and although I haven’t put thousands of rounds through it yet, I haven’t had much fun with it due to the very fact that you stated about the Winchester ammo. It seemed every 10th or 12 shot would jam up. I’ve seen lots of good reviews on the gun, so I’ll see how the CCIs I purchased recently performs. Thanks allot for proving me right that Winchester ammo sucks in this gun!



  19. Michael Colman on August 18, 2022 at 8:17 pm

    I have had no problem with golden bullet I have ran 4 or 5 525 round bulk pack with less the 10 or 15 duds total in all 4 or 5 bulk packs but I got a ton of cci mini mags that has been flawless I did run some in my sig 228 22 conversion with no issues



  20. Dwight Storie on August 18, 2022 at 8:18 pm

    Uhuhuhuh…..andandand…..uhuhuh…wtf…..be prepared BEFORE you record



  21. Jeff Colwell on August 18, 2022 at 8:19 pm

    Thanks for the advice now I have a better whatvto use in mine



  22. Hi RPM on August 18, 2022 at 8:20 pm

    any 22 gun in market CCI



  23. DeBo on August 18, 2022 at 8:21 pm

    Very informative. Thanks for posting.



  24. favor4afavor on August 18, 2022 at 8:21 pm

    My 15/22 chews up and spits out anything I’ve ever put in it 🤷‍♂️



  25. Kevin Mulligan on August 18, 2022 at 8:23 pm

    Thanks for the helpful info. This video still relevant 7 years later..I’ve had good luck with Blazer so far.



  26. Davon Smith on August 18, 2022 at 8:23 pm

    Velocitors are my favorite



  27. Marty Lucas on August 18, 2022 at 8:25 pm

    You are 100% incorrect!! I have a SW M&P 15-22 Sport 2. However…whether you have a Gen 1 or Gen 2 I’ll tell you how to fix any and all eject issues, as well as make your seemingly good ejecting 15-22 rifle operate even better! For $15, invest in a Volquartsen Extractor. The edge that touches the shell is very sharp and squared off vs the factory ejector.

    Now you don’t have to worry about the ammo you buy! Buy what’s on sale!!

    You can all thank me later.



  28. Alan Teo on August 18, 2022 at 8:26 pm

    What foregrip and barrel shroud are installed on your M&P 15-22?



  29. Shelby Snake 500 on August 18, 2022 at 8:29 pm

    I think we’ve all had problems with those Winchester rounds



  30. george roman on August 18, 2022 at 8:31 pm

    Super accurate had the same issue until I changed my ammo



  31. JB on August 18, 2022 at 8:31 pm

    I just got one. It wasn’t extracting. Then I realized there were pieces missing in the bolt. The extractor parts, were in the box.



  32. Bruce Kaplan on August 18, 2022 at 8:31 pm

    Concur about the Winchester HP 555, lots of failure to feed. I also find it is harder to load into the mag. correctly. Comparing the Winchester 555 and the CCI MiniMag HP, the hollow on the Winchester is noticeably wider than the CCI, perhaps why on my gun the Winchester jams on the edge of the chamber.
    I”ve had success with CCI MiniMag HP and Aguila Super Extra RN.



  33. Papi John’s on August 18, 2022 at 8:32 pm

    Gives ammo to strangers on the internet. Charges family members. Nice



  34. Jager Cousins on August 18, 2022 at 8:34 pm

    I love mine but I hate how it only uses CCi i’ve tried like six different kinds with any other bullet it’ll work for like 2 to 3 shots and then it jams right up



  35. John Wilbanks on August 18, 2022 at 8:36 pm

    Cci is best for rifles automatch is better for pistols



  36. Marck Carbonell OIF Veteran on August 18, 2022 at 8:36 pm

    Federal is good too!



  37. William Crane on August 18, 2022 at 8:37 pm

    Mine is a couple years old, 2018-19 Sport Non-Performance center barrel mlock foregrip. Eats everything haven’t had a failure to eject that I remember. Failure to fire rate equivalent of rimfire, put the bullet in again and it usually goes bang just like any other rimfire I’ve had. Bulk does have higher instances of that but it’s not rifle related. There was an ejector problem that S&W worked with just prior to my rifles generation and hopefully that’s the difference. As always, YMMV but it’s been a very reliable and fun rifle for me. Only bad part lately is finding magazines for them but that’s mostly just a demand issue. Tippman makes a good M4-22lr with Aluminum where the S&W is poly, Bout the same price really. Both really have proprietary magazines but both mags cost about the same now where a couple years ago the S&W mags were about half the price and with 3rd party mags that were dirt cheap BUT S&W sued those folks out of business.



  38. Matthew Marchetti on August 18, 2022 at 8:37 pm

    Mini Mag.or federal ..Winchester white box is junk they fall apart before you can shoot them!



  39. Chuck H on August 18, 2022 at 8:38 pm

    I’m a noob that just bought a 15-22, and I love how yours looks. Did you just paint the furniture? Or were you able to buy the customizations?



  40. Larry Lang on August 18, 2022 at 8:39 pm

    Winchester is garbage. Velocitors are the ticket



  41. Norberto Torres on August 18, 2022 at 8:40 pm

    I agree about the Winchesters I’m continuously having problem with them so I switched over to the cc eyes



  42. Tony the Butcher on August 18, 2022 at 8:42 pm

    My wife has a Glock 380, has feeding problems with Winchesters as well.



  43. Damn Yankee Rider on August 18, 2022 at 8:42 pm

    Mine hasn’t failed to fire anything.



  44. shrekweldz on August 18, 2022 at 8:45 pm

    I have never had a problem with the ammo I have however had a few issues with the factory magazine that came with the gun I bought another mag never had the other problems



  45. Marck Carbonell OIF Veteran on August 18, 2022 at 8:45 pm

    I shoot CCI minimags round nose. No misfires.



  46. Roman Povroznik on August 18, 2022 at 8:49 pm

    Hey , where did you get your accessories on the mp ? I just got one it’s my first and want to get some things like laser/scope etc.



  47. DeBo on August 18, 2022 at 8:54 pm

    Thanks for the info. Good video.



  48. Chris Petersen on August 18, 2022 at 8:56 pm

    I using 36 grain and it’s jam on top of the mag it self. Can a 40 grain take care of that problem



  49. Projectrichdee on August 18, 2022 at 8:56 pm

    Can you shoot .223s with this gun?



  50. J T on August 18, 2022 at 8:57 pm

    shoot whatever you have. i do and have no problems but i do not oil the gun. if i use oil on the bolt and slide i will have instant problems. clean with Ballistol, wipe down clean. put a very little on inside of bolt slide rail and go shooting. seriously. this is the only lube i ever use on any of my weapons. read up on it and try it. thats all Hickok45 ever uses and thats all he does is shoot.
