Smith Wesson MP FPC 22LR 20 Round Mag Folding Carbine – Superb 16.25 in. Threaded, 3 Mags

Description

The Smith Wesson MP FPC 22LR 20 Round Mags version is the rimfire take on Smith & Wesson’s folding carbine, and the folding part is the point. The whole rifle collapses to roughly half its length and stores two spare magazines inside the stock, which turns a 16-inch carbine into something that fits in a backpack.

Why the Smith Wesson MP FPC 22LR 20 Round Folds

The Smith Wesson MP FPC 22LR 20 Round Mags carbine folds at the receiver, laying the barrel alongside the stock and cutting overall length roughly in half. It stays folded in a pack or a case and deploys in about a second. For a truck gun, a camp rifle or anything that has to travel discreetly, that changes what the rifle is for.

Two spare magazines store inside the stock itself, so the gun and its ammunition travel as one object rather than three.

Why 22 LR Is the Right Chambering Here

The FPC exists in 9mm as well, and both have their place. In 22 LR the case is about cost and comfort: a day of shooting costs a few dollars, recoil is nonexistent, and it is the version you hand to a new shooter without hesitation.

A 16.25-inch barrel also does good things for 22 LR velocity compared with a pistol, and the Smith Wesson MP FPC 22LR 20 Round Mags model includes three magazines rather than the usual one or two.

Cost is the quiet argument for the Smith Wesson MP FPC 22LR 20 Round Mags model: an afternoon of shooting costs less than a sandwich.

Threaded Barrel and Optics on the Smith Wesson MP FPC 22LR 20 Round

The muzzle is threaded, and rimfire is the most rewarding thing there is to suppress — quiet enough to shoot without hearing protection. That path means the federal NFA process: a Form 4, a two hundred dollar stamp, months of waiting and state legality. We do not sell NFA items, so the can comes from a dealer with an SOT.

A full-length top rail takes a red dot or a compact scope, and the M-LOK handguard handles a light or a sling mount.

Who the Smith Wesson MP FPC 22LR 20 Round Mags Carbine Is For

Campers, hikers, pilots and anyone who wants a rifle that fits somewhere a rifle normally does not. It is also a genuinely good teaching gun — light, no recoil, and cheap to feed. And it works as a pest and small-game rifle around a property.

If your state restricts twenty-round magazines, we also stock the same carbine with three ten-round magazines instead.

Owners who already run a 9mm FPC often add the Smith Wesson MP FPC 22LR 20 Round Mags carbine as the cheap-practice twin.

Ammunition That Runs

Semi-automatic 22 rifles are pickier than revolvers about ammunition. High-velocity loads from CCI, Federal or Aguila cycle reliably; bulk subsonic and standard-velocity ammunition sometimes will not. Buy two or three brands, find what the Smith Wesson MP FPC 22LR 20 Round Mags carbine likes, then buy that in bulk.

Rimfire fouls quickly, so clean it more often than the round count suggests.

Magazines, Storage and Setup

Three magazines ship with it and two live in the stock, which is the detail people remember about this rifle. Spares are inexpensive. A red dot suits the Smith Wesson MP FPC 22LR 20 Round Mags carbine better than magnification for the distances it gets used at, and keeps it light enough to stay packable.

Check that whatever optic you mount clears the folding action.

We can include extra magazines with the Smith Wesson MP FPC 22LR 20 Round Mags carbine in the same order.
