[FiremanBob]

Project Appleseed announced today:

In Project Appleseed, student safety is paramount. We recognize and appreciate the effort that Smith & Wesson has made with their M&P 15-22 safety alert. The M&P 15-22 rifles will again be allowed for use at Project Appleseed clinics, effective August 1st, 2021. We urge every 15-22 owner to read and comply with the instructions contained in the following links before attending a Project Appleseed rifle clinic:

S&W has graciously sent us Bolt Inspection Gauges for the M&P 15-22 and we are issuing them to event leaders in the field. Project Appleseed will strive to have a Bolt Inspection Gauge available for 15-22 owners to check their bolts at our clinics. If a rifle fails the gauge test, we will offer a loaner rifle where legal & available.

I have one of the bolt inspection gauges for M&P 15-22 owners to check their bolts at any shoots where I instruct.

Does this go for all Appleseeds?

Will you be instructing Mansfield in October by any chance?

All those where .22LR is used. I will not be in Mansfield but I expect that whoever is Shoot Boss for that event will have one. Every SB nationwide either has received or will receive one.

I remember them being banned from PA shoots but never knew why and never knew of the SW advisory....I just called and a gauge is on the way. Thanks for posting this.
