I am considering purchasing an AR style 22lr for my son. I am finding the S&W and the Colt for approx the same price. Does anyone have any experience/suggestions between the two?
Thanks

I have experience with the M&P 15-22 and I LOVE it. The parts aren't interchangeable with actual AR-15 parts, but it's greet. It's very light too.

Get the Magpul S&W.
Unless it's changed, the Colt's a bad design. Not my opinion, but one from a self proclaimed Colt "freak". He said they were junk.

Actually the trigger uses standard AR15 parts. So you can have the same trigger on your 15-22 and your AR15. Most accessories and furniture should work. If you want to change out the hand guard all you have to do is buy a special barrel nut. You also have the option of putting a fake gas block/ regular front sight on it.

I plan on grabbing the all metal charging handle. I'm not sure if I want to use a magpul handguard/Fixed Front sight atm.
This site has tons of things for the 15-22.... Even has ranger plates...
“I do believe that where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence I would advise violence"
"…Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor."
"…He who cannot protect himself or his nearest and dearest or their honour by non-violently facing death may and ought to do so by violently dealing with the oppressor. He who can do neither of the two is a burden. He has no business to be the head of a family. He must either hide himself, or must rest content to live for ever in helplessness and be prepared to crawl like a worm at the bidding of a bully …
[When violence] is offered in self-defence or for the defence of the defenceless, it is an act of bravery far better than cowardly submission."

The 15-22 is an awesome rifle. 99.9% reliable for me with bulk federal ammo. I have probably put 10,000 rounds through it with no problems.

The Colt is actually an Umarex branded as a Colt and a POS
The M&P 15-22 is freaking incredible as a training tool and as a great plinker and small game hunter

Oh yeah, handguard, grip, stock are interchangeable. I didn't know about the trigger.

I have the 15-22. It's the most fun gun I own. I did replace the trigger with a Rock River 2 stage Nat. Match.
