Description
The M&P15-22 Sport has been the go-to rimfire AR for years, and for good reason. Most .22 LR rifles styled after an AR feel like toys once you pick them up. This one doesn't. The charging handle works like the real thing, the bolt and controls sit where your hands expect them, and the 6-position CAR stock adjusts to fit everyone from a new shooter to a full-grown adult in a winter coat. At right around 5 pounds, it's easy to carry all day and even easier to shoot all afternoon.
What the M&P15-22 Sport Brings to the Table
Smith & Wesson didn't skimp on the parts list here. You get genuine Magpul MBUS folding sights front and rear, a 10 inch slim M-LOK handguard with a 2 inch rail panel already in the box, and a Picatinny top rail that's ready for a red dot or scope whenever you are. The 16.5 inch carbon steel barrel wears a durable matte black finish and comes threaded 1/2×28 with an A2-style muzzle device installed, so adding a suppressor down the road is about as simple as it gets. The polymer upper and lower keep weight down and shrug off range abuse, and the whole rifle is backed by Smith & Wesson's lifetime service policy.
Training, Plinking, and Everything In Between
This is the rifle a lot of folks buy to train with, then end up shooting more than anything else in the safe. Because it mirrors AR-15 ergonomics so closely, drills you run with the 15-22 carry straight over to a centerfire rifle, minus the ammo bill and the recoil. It's a fantastic first rifle for teaching new or younger family members the fundamentals, and it's just plain fun for knocking over steel and ringing spinners on a lazy Saturday. This version ships with a single 10-round magazine, and spares are affordable and easy to find when you want to keep the rotation going. Grab a brick of .22 and go enjoy it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the M&P15-22 Sport come with sights, or do I need to buy them?
It ships ready to shoot with genuine Magpul MBUS folding sights front and rear. They're removable, so if you add a red dot or scope to the Picatinny top rail later, you can fold them down as backups or take them off entirely.
Is the barrel on this M&P15-22 threaded for a suppressor?
Yes, the 16.5 inch carbon steel barrel is threaded 1/2×28, which is the standard pattern for most rimfire suppressors and muzzle devices. An A2-style muzzle device comes installed from the factory, so just spin it off and mount your can.
Will AR-15 accessories and parts fit the M&P15-22 Sport?
Most of them, yes. Grips, stocks, triggers, and rail-mounted accessories generally swap right over since the rifle is compatible with most standard AR components. The M-LOK handguard and Picatinny rail take the same lights, optics, and accessories you'd run on a centerfire AR.
Is the M&P15-22 Sport a good rifle for a new shooter?
It's one of the best options out there for that job. Recoil in .22 LR is next to nothing, the adjustable stock fits smaller frames, and the light 5 pound weight makes it easy to handle. It also builds skills that transfer directly to a full-size AR when the time comes.
