[QUOTE="rodman2112, post: 839659, member: 8444"] I bought the Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 this week. Loved the look and was told by several dealers that this model performed much better than the Colt. I took it to the range today and had a FTF (stovepipe) immediately after the first round. I only had the cheapo Remington ammo. After I cleared the spent round and the chambered round, the gun would repeat the FTF on the next shot fired. Several of the ejected rounds were bent. I tried loading the magazine with fewer rounds (5). This only slightly improved the situation (maybe two rounds fired before another FTF). On one occasion, the spent casing was stuck in the barrel. I did not clean and lube the weapon before shooting. I don't know if it's the ammo, the magazine or the gun itself. Has anyone experienced these type of problems? Any insight on solutions? Does this model have a "break in period" (I read this somewhere)? I am not happy.:crying: I was told that this model would shoot anything that was fed into it. Any help sure would be appreciated!
