There is a local pawn shop that has a box of S&W M&P 15-22 uppers.  Apparently a security company was using them for training and traded them in.  But didn't want to trade in the lowers, so they cut them up.  I am always looking for a deal.  I have searched to see if I can find just a lower.  Most of the threads and discussion are if you can put a .223 upper on a 15-22 lower.  I just want to source a lower.  Does S&W sell just a lower?

You could contact S&W, but I don't think the lowers are sold separately...

He said $80 for an upper.  I think I can get him down a little paying cash.  It is a pawn shop, they always deal with me.

That's dirt cheap.  I'm going to have to research putting that upper on a milspec lower.



ETA:  Might be more work than it's worth...

It will work i have put mine on a ar15  lower but it was really hard to get the takedown pins in and out but you could make it work. only problem would be filling in the buffer tube area as it is flat on a 15-22 for the carrier to rest against.

I would pass unless you just want to build different configurations of uppers, to switch out on your existing 15-22 lower.  15-22 uppers don't fit on standard lowers.  The dimensions are different, which is why someone mentioned banging the pins in, and the magazine wells are different.  Although the 15-22 magazines fit in a standard lower, there is a huge gap, with a lot of play in the magazine.  Even if it stays locked in place, I can't imagine it being very reliable while firing.

Aside from the dimensions being different. I don't believe the buffer thing matters.  On the 15-22, everything works within the carrier.  During firing, it would still simply be sitting against the buffer.  I am pretty sure there is not enough power for the buffer and spring to move at all.

I would love to get a couple of those to cannibalize into SBR uppers.

I'm sitting here with a 15-22 upper and a real AR lower, and there is no way they will fit together, let alone operate, without breaking something.

Friend, when it comes to the M&P15-22 facts need not stand in the way of the truth.
It is my experience to just let it slide even when you see an obvious untruth because
if you try to set the record straight you'll have those who'll swear you are the liar.

Arguing just isn't worth it.

I found their website and sent them a message like a week ago, but they have never responded  I don't suppose anyone close would be willing to pick up a couple of them and ship them to me>

When there's potential to damage a gun and maim or kill the user over bad advice, it is worth arguing. The 15-22 was designed specifically to NOT be compatible with real AR15 receivers.

I just called and they are sold out. Hoping to SBR one myself.

Any chance we can get pics of this? Even better would be video of this in action.
