Bought mine in 2012. Haven't really shot it all that much. Guess I'll order a gauge. I have feeler gauges, but I doubt any would fit that bolt cut out.

Submissive gun rights advocates need to lose their submissiveness before we lose our 2A rights.
I got a response from S&W today…they deferred me to their online store, where they want a S/N of the M&P 15-22 that I own…so that the government can demand their databases and be able to track down who owns what...

I'm leaning toward just shipping in the bolt since I'm already 99.9999% sure it isn't to spec.

Any updates?
Just picked up my M&P 15-22 today!
I got the gauge & mine is within spec. If anyone would rather not give up their serial #, I'll mail you mine.

If Ol` Joe's specs are correct, what S&W is sending out is a worthless piece of scrap metal!
The cartridge rim is .043" with a unilateral tolerance (meaning the preference is to manufacture ALL cartridges to .043") of minus .007", so .043 optimal, as low as .036 acceptable.
The feeler gage is .0353, so ANY .22 ammo manufactured to spec will NOT sit below the recess, rather the rim will be crushed upon the bolt face closing.
Get ANY amount of debris in the bolt face c'bore and the pinch gets even worse!
Unless it is somehow standard practice to have a bolt face c'bore shallower than the thickness of the ammo's rim…me thinks S&W needs some sharper engineers!
