Re: Which AR Type 22's to Consider

That was what I originally bought, thinking it would be a price effective way to have an AR style 22. Wrong. It’s a hundred bucks spent for a cheesy POS piece of plastic that had two different “buffer tubes”* based on whether you wanted to use the iron sights or a optic
* (stock extension or whatever you wanna call it cuz there’s no actual buffer obviously) – which by the way are not at all convenient or smooth to switch back and forth.
Yes the S&W M&P 15-22 MOE isn’t cheap, but when you consider how much money you are saving by using – and really enjoying that 22LR – and even getting some “transferable” muscle memory training value out of it – the weapon more than pays for itself.
This is a “cry and buy once” gun. Just throw down the money one time and then never worry about upgrading it ever again (besides accessories to put on that rail system). Its money well spent in my opinion. – I mean, I’ve put 3,000 rounds through my MOE. Rounding off to 20 bucks per 500 rounds (a way highball estimate), that 3,000 rounds cost me 120 bucks.

the tapco is cheap but with a basic 10/22 inside has run well with good results for 30-40 shooters I have loaned it to. I run it always with a scope using the straight tail piece for kids/ bent for adults, about 90 seconds to change but it does freak some people out seeing the tail piece being tapped out with a claw hammer
