Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GemTech Integra-15?

The GemTech Integra-15 is an integrally suppressed upper receiver designed for the Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 platform. It features a permanently attached suppressor core, simplifying the NFA process to a single tax stamp and offering a quiet shooting experience.

How do you clean the GemTech Integra-15 suppressor?

Cleaning the Integra-15 is straightforward. The outer tube unscrews from the core, which is then cleaned with an M16 brush and CLP. High-velocity .22LR rounds can also be used to help dislodge fouling from the stainless steel baffles.

Does the GemTech Integra-15 require an SBR tax stamp?

No, the GemTech Integra-15 does not require an SBR tax stamp. Its pinned and welded construction results in an overall upper length of 17.5 inches, meeting the minimum length requirements for a non-NFA regulated firearm when attached to a standard lower receiver.

What is the sound signature of the GemTech Integra-15?

When firing subsonic .22LR ammunition, the GemTech Integra-15 is exceptionally quiet. The primary sound perceived is the cycling of the bolt, rather than the muzzle blast, making it ideal for stealthy shooting.
