But someone else at the range has one and he had an extractor problem, basically fell apart on him.
Apparently they did a redesign on the bolt between the time that he bought his and the time I bought mine.
He sent his in and now his has a bolt that looks just like mine.

If you have the previous version of the bolt with the old style extractor, S&W should replace the bolt for you and any other out-dated parts as well..

Do you have a picture of the new style bolt? I'd like to compare it to mine...

Ok, I did a little research online and found some other people with extractor problems on this particular rifle. Apparently the extractor is not aligned properly. So i "did the fix".... Now it FTE's every other round. BUT...... If i pull the mag out it will eject every time. The ejector is working, but not with the introduction of the next cartridge into the breach. I am waiting for an email response from S&W in Texas. I'll probably call tomorrow and get this thing figured out.

Ok so i was out yesterday evening playing around with my S&W M&P 15-22. I was sighting in a new 4x20 red star scope i put on it. I had just finished getting the sights dialed in when i had about 5 shots left in the mag. I started to rapid fire them and thats when it happened. A fired round failed to eject and the next cartridge went off behind the empty shell. It was like a cannon going off in my ear. Now, it wont eject the fired rounds from the gun. Should i take this thing in to a smith (maybe a burred barrel at the chamber now) or just call smith & Wesson. It is only about 7 months old.... bought it new at academy in corpus christi, tx.

here are two pics of the "chambered" round previously fired.....
