Anything new on this?

Still banned.

We know that... but haven't heard anymore info on what S&W is doing, if anything.

Well, now my 15-22 is banned from Appleseed shoots and I am banned from their forum! However, I did receive a private message from "Scuzzy"... He told me that S&W quit responding to AS and has not responded to them in months, so AS considers this issue as "closed". So it looks like that temporary restriction of the M&P 15-22 is now a complete ban.

I messaged S&W customer service on FB, and they told me that they have nothing new to report.

Haven't seen a thing...

I've been corresponding with an Appleseed person online and today he told me that S&W was in contact with Appleseed when the ban was initiated and since then S&W has been investigating but no new info available.

My beef with this is that Appleseed appears to have thrown S&W under the bus without taking any responsibility for themselves. Simple things like dividers between the shooters and more space between shooters could mitigate the potential for injury from a OOB discharge with a .22lr. After all, OOB discharges happen with many semiautomatic .22lr firearms, not just the M&P 15-22. Ruger, Marlin, you name it...they have all had an OOB discharge happen.

And, add me to the group that has thousands of rounds down range through a 15-22 without an issue. If this was a widespread issue that required action such as a recall, the forums dedicated to these rifles would be all over it...
