The S&W M&P 15-22 is the best looking .22 ar I have ever seen. I picked mine up two days ago for $399.00 (this is the version without the flash suppressor). I actually wanted the non-flash suppressor version so I can better maintain the barrel and hopefully accuracy. The function of the little AR is just like its big brothers. All controls do what they should. The magazine is 25 rounds and works and looks great. You can pull the spring and follower down so that it is very easy to load. I like it b/c of the six position stock as well, which, will allow it to function with younger children and grow with them. I first mounted an EoTech 512, then a TruGlo red dot. Both functioned fantastically once sighted in. Plenty of rails to mount toys. No jams on rapid fire. I also put a vertical grip on mine. I took it out in the field and plinked away. It was like (like it, not exactly for obvious reasons) shooting my full size AR, but much cheaper. If you like the AR platform you got to get one. I have not tested accuracy as of yet, and will post again once I have done so. However, it was accurate enough for cans, shotgun shells, and various other targets at about 25 yards. These guns are polymer, which does not bother me, but may some. It makes the gun extremely light to carry, which is a bonus while walking around plinking. Like I said, get one simply because it is so much fun.
