From all the reviews I've read and the Youtube vids I've watched, people really like the MP5's. I guess they have full metal construction unlike some of the other clones.
Looking to buy tacticool .22 What do you guy's (and gals) think?
Here's my dilemma...
I have $600 vacation time to cash out and want to get a new toy
I'm really interested in a .22 rifle for general plinking. I'd like to get something with a big fun factor that's also reasonably reliable (for a .22) and good quality without burning the whole wad.
So far I'm interested in the Umarex clones, like the HK MP5, HK 416, and the Colt.
Or the M&P15 22 or even the CCMG Quebec-A which is really cool because you can convert to .223 with the addition of an AR buffer tube & spring and .223 upper.
Of course, there's also the Ruger 10/22.
What to do, what to do..

Hey, if I go with a Ruger, there might be a few bucks left to get some more Glock goodies, too.
I stopped by one of the local gun shops yesterday and fondled a couple CMMG's and the M&P15 22. The CMMG is a bit more solid, but the M&P has some better features in it's stock form. So far I'm leaning towards CMMG, but only because I can convert to .223 later. I've come across complete used .223 uppers at ar15.com for $200, so it's kinda hard to resist. I just need to hit a few more local shops and then Cabela's to grope some of the other makes and models. I appreciate the input so far.
Ok, I lied. M&P 15-22!
Ok, so I came up a few $$ short on my purchase, so I decided on the M&P 15-22. The CMMG was $75 more and didn't include any sights. I figured I could always trade in later if the Smithy doesn't meet my expectations. Added Magpul MOE grip and a stubby vertical. I gotta say, this thing feels amazing. I'll post up a range report tomorrow.

ran about 250 rounds of some cheap Remington value box. Only 1 failure to detonate, but that's it. The rifle ran flawlessly! Very accurate too, although I really don't like the stock peep sight. I'm interested in one of those Eotech knock offs. From what I hear they work just fine for little rimfire plinkers. I already want to get my gun goodies.

With Camo wrap & posing with friends
Oh yeah!
That camo wrap really makes a big difference. For $10, why not?

Can't stop the mods!
Great, now I have a mod list for my Glock AND 15-22.
Here's the latest build on my little .22
Next on the list is a "cooler" comp/muzzle brake. Maybe one of those DNA Collector deals. Also want a 50 round drum, bi-pod, MBUS, Timney.... The list goes and goes.
