I saw a YouTube where a Slide Fire stock was fitted to a M&P 15/22 and it worked perfectly in the video.
The presenter said he had replaced the stock trigger group with a CMC trigger. Well I thought this would
be good for shits and giggles so I ordered the parts.

I really like the rifle but I just spent all day trying to master this sliding stock. The most I could get it to run was
3 or 4 rounds at a time. I estimate that I shot a couple of bricks worth of shells today trying to make it work. I tried all kinds of various brands and velocities and I've come to the conclusion that this does not work on the .22. At least the one I've got doesn't.

I'm sure the recoil of a 5.56 is sufficient to operate this thing but the rimfire just doesn't cut it.

I tried it open as well as suppressed and it was no different.

If anyone has tried this and figured out how to run it please reply. If not, I'm going to shit can this thing and
order a Magpul as I destroyed the damn stock that came with the rifle in getting it off.

By the way I wasn't impressed with the CMC trigger either. Rock River Arms kicks their ass for about the same money.

So all I have to show for this day is raw fingers from loading magazines.

Haven't figured out how to hotlink.

Ah...so he lightened up the trigger to 2-3 lbs....

I put a Slide Fire stock and a CMC trigger on mine It workes great I am using CCI AR Tactical ammunition. My Smith does not have a threaded barrel.

I saw that EXACT video and was going to blow the $ and collect the parts. . . . OP this might be one of the most beneficial posts I've ever read on ARF. I usually have to figure these things out the hard way.

I used a Geiselle S3G trigger and VERY LIGHTLY sanded the buffer tube with 1200 grit sanding sponge. It works great.

Did you hold the gun lightly by the magazine? That's how most of the vids show the guys shooting theirs. I've got a SlideFire that I've used on my 5.45x39mm S&W M&P15. That works great. But I'm going to try it on my 15-22 when I can come up with enough discretionary funds to buy a 3# trigger. ($200?)

I watched a half dozen youtube videos of guys using the slidefire successfully on the 15-22. One guy tested his using 6 or 7 different ammos, and it worked great on all of them. Even the Federal bulk. Watch a few more vids before you try it again. Most of them gently hold pressure using the magazine.

My brother in law bought a 15-22 last week along with a Slidefire and a CMC trigger group. He brought it over to the house yesterday and we ran 700+ rnds through it. It ran great. We could hold on the magazine or on the forearm and still get full mag dumps. It did not matter. The only issues we had was that every once in a while, one of the rounds would not go bang. Almost looked like a light primer strike. Not really an issue. We ran CCI and Federal Champions through it and out of all the rounds we shot, I could count on one hand the number that didn't go bang the first time. Put the round back in and it would shoot.

Overall I am pleased with his gun and as a matter of fact, I have my dealer buddy getting me a price on one today.

If I think about it, I will try to post a video of it.

A local guy got his to work with the stock trigger. He said the main trick is getting the reset on the trigger to be shorter. He add epoxy to it somehow , im not familar with it to know.

Oh I intend to very soon!

there is a slide fire stock out there for the 10/22 now that works pretty great
the only downside is that it is expensive
the main reason for that expense is that it includes a KIDD trigger group

check it out

Tempting...But then I'd put it on my AR15 and watch the $$$ disappear downrange.
