Key Features
- Side-folding, three-position stock with adjustable cheekrest – WHY IT MATTERS: Lets you dial in a perfect cheek weld for iron sights or optics, then fold the stock for compact storage or transport. The three positions give you length-of-pull options for different shooting positions or clothing layers.
- 16.5-inch barrel with tan faux suppressor – WHY IT MATTERS: The faux suppressor adds a tactical look and extends the barrel profile without NFA paperwork or tax stamps. The 16.5-inch barrel gives you good velocity for .22 LR while keeping the overall rifle handy.
- Flip-up front and rear sights – WHY IT MATTERS: You get a low-profile sighting system that folds flat when not in use, ready for optics. The rear sight is adjustable for windage and elevation, so you can zero without tools.
- 22-round magazine capacity – WHY IT MATTERS: More time shooting, less time reloading. The 22+1 capacity is generous for a .22 LR semi-auto, making this rifle ideal for training drills, plinking sessions, or pest control.
- Thumb safety for right-hand operation – WHY IT MATTERS: The ambidextrous-style thumb safety is easy to reach with your firing thumb, giving you positive control over the sear. It’s intuitive for new shooters and familiar for seasoned hands.
Who It's For
The Mauser M-15 SD is built for anyone who wants a full-size .22 LR rifle that handles like a centerfire carbine. It’s perfect for new shooters learning the ropes on a low-recoil platform, for experienced owners who want an affordable trainer that mimics their AR or tactical rifle, and for plinkers who value accuracy on a budget. The adjustable stock and lightweight build also make it a good fit for shooters with smaller frames or those who shoot from field positions.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Side-folding stock with three positions and adjustable cheekrest – rare in a .22 LR at this price point.
- Pro: 22-round magazine gives you plenty of ammo between reloads.
- Pro: Faux suppressor adds a tactical look without NFA hassle.
- Con: The faux suppressor is permanently attached per the barrel length, so you cannot swap it for a real suppressor without a gunsmith. If you plan to suppress, look at a threaded-barrel model.

The Mauser M-15 SD splits the difference between the AR-style M&P15-22 and the traditional Ruger 10/22. It gives you the folding stock and adjustable cheekrest that neither competitor offers at this price, though the M&P15-22 has a larger magazine and the 10/22 has a lighter overall weight.
FAQ
Is the faux suppressor removable for cleaning or replacement?
The faux suppressor is a one-piece extension of the barrel shroud. It is not designed to be removed by the user. For cleaning, you can run a bore snake through the barrel as usual.
Does this rifle accept aftermarket magazines?

Can I mount an optic on this rifle?
Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for a scope rail (not included). You can mount a red dot or low-power scope using a standard .22 LR rail. The flip-up sights can remain in place as backups.
Is this rifle legal in my state?
The Mauser M-15 SD is a standard semi-automatic rimfire rifle with a 16.5-inch barrel and fixed stock. It complies with federal law and is legal in most states. Check your local laws regarding magazine capacity if you are in a restricted state.
