I just got one too and went to the range this last sunday had a little problem with the inside of the magwell scratching the **** out of the left side maglip.After carresing the area with a file it fixed the problem.After that I ran 200 rounds of the expencive cci and then 350 rounds of federal bulk pack .It is a fun and accurate 22.I wish they made steel mags or at least steel lips on the mags.Defanately the best AR I own.

Besides the upper and lower being polimer instead of aluminum like the colt and the round count being lower what else makes the S&W better?

I knew you were going to ask me that? Granted from what I've read somewhere Colt doesn't even make theirs carbine. A guy said that when he has to return one for warranty work it goes to a air soft company. Of course since I read it on the net it must be true.

It is made by a airsoft company but endorced by colt.I don't know about warrantee work but Ill check the paperwork when I get home from baskinrobbins I mean the health food store.

 

[#1bambam]

Its made by Carl Walther.and the warantee work is sent to a company called umarexUSA fortsmith ar.

 

[rgswamp]

I have the Colt version also. I did have a couple of issues early on, but were resolved quickly. It was sent to umarex for warranty repair, got it back in a week. I had it out yesterday and it ran great. I put 100 rounds through it with no problems. They are pretty accurate as well.

[nismo_s14]

i think im get the colt instead of the s&w

No real experience with these, but the one I saw in real life the guy was having issues with the plastic magazines not staying seated. It was a colt. I think you would be better off with an AR and a kit. I have the kit from spikes, and I love mine. Shoots great as long as kept clean.

 

[asianpersuasion]

I personally don't like the plastic and out sourcing Colt did. Granted I have no experience with either one

an AR and a kit?...please explain

 

[jbonnette]

An AR-15 can be converted to shoot 22LR with a kit. The 22 conversion kit runs around 200$.

Doug,
I believe he was talking about a CMMG or Spikes tactical drop on .22 conversion kit. It's what I'd reccommend over the cheap airsoft .22 rifles from colt or smith and wesson.
