Title: S&W MP 15-22 Ban from Appleseed..
Post by: m1agsr on September 19, 2016, 09:47:31 AM
Don't believe everything you read on the net but is this article true about the ban? http://bearingarms.com/bob-o/2016/09/15/breaking-mp-1522s-banned-appleseed-events-battery-run-away-discharges/

Silver lining here... assuming it is true, it looks like I'm in the market for another rifle!

Don't go shopping just yet.  Breathe through your nose; there may or may not be issues with this rifle. 

There were reports of OOBs, to include one injury, on the lines recently.  Out of an overabundance of caution, the AOC deemed their use is temporarily suspended after reports of issues from the lines.

Senior AS leadership is working directly with S&W to adjudicate possible issues.

Clear as mud?  ;)  That's what we know right now...

Ahahha yah but it all makes sense. I support AS decision to take said action, just wasn't sure if what i was reading was true or click bait. Today's media is... not the greatest source of intel.

I might just do more reloading for my .223 and use that.
