What did you do? Buy another?
That would be my third then.

Already have 2 Texas rifles. Looking for something shiny with a big loop lever and in a proper pistol calibre for gallery shooting.

Booze is OK in Texas, hookers are verboten.
My first AR style .22 was a 15-22 that I bought 2nd hand when they were quite new to the market and still being derided as plastic guns.
I classed it at the time as the "gateway AR" as after that I was hooked and like Sim wanted something a bit more proper.
So sold the 15-22 on to someone who is still enjoying it I believe.
Hooked a 16" barrel CMMG 2nd hand it shot better groups, but the CMMG Bolt Hold Open was something that I wasn't enjoying.
Paul at Lantac got it working and it was OK after that, but the mags let it down and wouldn't load to full capacity.
Gen 1 mags would load to 22rds and worked OK, no proper last round hold open, but the Gen II Evo mags were a constant source of problems.
The Gen III mags were not an improvement. testament to this is that CMMG only sell a black version of the Gen I mag for .22 rifles and conversions.
On a whim I ordered a 12" 15-22 from Riflecraft with the Hardy reflex mod and had many years of happy shooting after adding a few go faster parts.
However the 15-22 is not a happy rifle for the serial tinkerer, the grip thread is notorious for stripping and the receiver can split where the grip attaches, as it has on a mate's rifle.
Before any problems presented themselves with mine I decided to flog it and let someone else enjoy it.
Plus, lets be honest, my new 12" Texas rifle is fuggin' epic, although for reliability it uses M&P 15-22 mags
