Euler Posted August 12, 2021 at 09:34 PM Share Posted August 12, 2021 at 09:34 PM Appleseed Info Quote July 21, 2021, 04:19:00 PM » UPDATE: In Project Appleseed, student safety is paramount. We recognize and appreciate the effort that Smith & Wesson has made with their M&P 15-22 safety alert. The M&P 15-22 rifles will again be allowed for use at Project Appleseed clinics, effective August 1st, 2021. We urge every 15-22 owner to read and comply with the instructions contained in the following links before attending a Project Appleseed rifle clinic: https://www.smith-wesson.com/sites/default/files/MP1522_Alert_030619.pdf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJO0gJRmc_c S&W has graciously sent us Bolt Inspection Gauges for the M&P 15-22 and we are issuing them to event leaders in the field. Project Appleseed will strive to have a Bolt Inspection Gauge available for 15-22 owners to check their bolts at our clinics. If a rifle fails the gauge test, we will offer a loaner rifle where legal & available. I'm not a 15-22 owner myself, but I know people that have them seem to love them. EDIT: As background, if anyone doesn't know but wants to, the 15-22 could experience runaway with out-of-battery discharges, resulting in shell fragments ejected out the port. After several reports of such incidents at Appleseed sessions, Appleseed banned 15-22s from use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoYouFeelLucky Posted August 13, 2021 at 01:26 AM Share Posted August 13, 2021 at 01:26 AM From what I had read, the issue seemed to be very isolated and not widespread? I love my 15-22! The most fun .22 rifle I have. Accurate enough for plinking and varmint control, and eats any ammo I feed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
