The Smith & Wesson M&P15-22 Sport .22LR rifle is engineered as a dedicated training platform, faithfully replicating the ergonomics and operational controls of standard AR-pattern firearms. This system facilitates skill transference for users requiring consistent practice without the operational expense or recoil impulse associated with centerfire cartridges. It serves as an effective tool for fundamental marksmanship development, recreational shooting, and tactical proficiency maintenance.
Key Features
Ergonomics & Manual of Arms
The M&P15-22 Sport maintains the familiar AR-15 interface, including the charging handle, safety selector, and magazine release. This adherence to the AR manual of arms ensures seamless transition and reinforces muscle memory for users familiar with the platform, or those learning rifle fundamentals. Its design promotes consistent training without requiring adaptation to different control schemes.
Construction & Materials
This rifle features a lightweight polymer receiver and barrel assembly, optimizing handling characteristics for extended training sessions. The selection of polymer mitigates overall weight, enhancing user comfort and reducing fatigue during high-volume practice. Despite its lightened construction, the system maintains structural rigidity suitable for its intended purpose.
Accessory Integration
An integrated M-LOK handguard provides direct attachment points for a range of accessories, including weapon lights, vertical grips, and other tactical enhancements. This modularity allows operators to configure the rifle to specific training scenarios or personal preferences without requiring supplemental rail sections, streamlining accessory deployment. The receiver also accommodates various optic mounting solutions for enhanced targeting capability.
Compliance & Capacity
Equipped with a 10-round magazine, the M&P15-22 Sport is configured to meet California compliance standards, ensuring its availability for a broader user base. This fixed capacity provides sufficient rounds for drill execution while adhering to regulatory requirements.
