[QUOTE="tulsacrittergetter, post: 2908383, member: 41264"] Yep. I just got my M&P 15-22 back from Smith & Wesson a few days ago actually. I had an OOB at the range 4 DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT IT, and it blew out my extractor. I didn't notice that the extractor blew out, but I was having FTE's every 2 or 3 rounds, so I knew something was up. When I got home and started to break it down to clean, I noticed that the extractor, extractor plunger, and extractor spring were all missing from the bolt. Yay! So, after calling S&W customer service, I learned that they will not send those parts to you. You have to send in the rifle so they can perform the repairs on the rifle. BUMMER! I had it for less than a week, and was having so much fun! Also, I had several stovepipes, and one of them had melted the edge of the ejection port (because the upper is polymer). SO, S&W had my 15-22 for 9 days. They replaced the extractor, plunger, and spring, as well as the upper receiver, and adjusted the ejector. They also sent me a ton of swag, and an extra magazine. I was very impressed with the customer service. Since I've had it back (about a week now), I have put over 2,500 rounds through it, and have not had a SINGLE failure to eject, failure to feed, or out of battery discharge. I did have a few misfire / failure to fires, but that was an ammo problem. I was shooting some really old .22LR rounds that had been lying around that needed to be disposed of. I wasn't surprised that many of them did not go off. They weren't stored properly. I am, however, disappointed that the 15-22 didn't perform in the beginning like it is now. It should perform flawlessly as soon as you bring it home, and not after you get it back from S&W customer service. Regardless, I'm happy to have it back, and am going to the range again today to put another 1,000 rounds through it. Regarding the accuracy issues with the can — I put my suppressor on my Marlin 795 (which I recently had threaded by Firearms Solutions in Duncan, OK), and I was punching out red bullseyes at 50 meters NO PROBLEM. I can't figure out why my 15-22 won't do the same thing with the same can. I did do some firing with the 15-22 unsuppressed, and the gun was WAY more accurate without the can. I'm stumped.
