M&p 15

[Steve2121]

Thinking of picking up a S&W m&p 15 sport. Seems like a good price and decent reviews. Anyone have first hand experience. I'm totally ignorant about ARS no matter how much I read. Looking for help from people wiser than myself.

Basic entry level AR. Is this the one that doesn't have a Forward Assist?
Nothing wrong with it! Better QC than a DA or Norc!

No forward assist and dust cover. Just making sure there isn't a better value before I pull the trigger. (No pun intended) budget was 1k or under

I am by no means an AR guru and have limited experience but it appears to be a good value. Shot one once and found it to be surprisingly accurate at 100 yards. Have not shot a Norc AR so can't comment on those.

Read a lot of reviews on the M&P Sport. Good gun for an entry level AR. Missing the forward assist >>> who cares, nobody really uses it anyways. I'd buy it over the Norc or DPMS Oracle.

I have read several reviews saying these are the best AR in that price range (under 1k)

A buddy of mine has one. Great rifle for the money. I was actually about to buy one myself until i found my sig m400 on the EE for leas than my budget

 

[Steve2121]

I think k I'm gonna go with it for sure.

 

[drifter dave]

Had one. Recommend it.
Great barrel weight- not too light or heavy.

 

[Steve2121]

Fully customizable like most others?

Good value for the money.... I own one. Full parts interchangeability with standard AR-15 stuff. I got in on the MIL/LEO discount at $749. As another poster noted; better than a DPMS oracle.

But..... Just to throw this out there!

Frontier has a Black Friday special running till Nov. 30 on a bushmaster XM15 patrol carbine "MOE" $500 off..... So it comes in at $999....

Which IMHO is a smoking deal! And probably better than the S&W..... My $.02.

 

[Steve2121]

Maybe that would be a better way to go? Is the bushmaster a better rifle for the price?

has no forward assist or dust cover, isn't a milspec gun that being said doesn't cost anywhere near one either. I think they are excellent value, and would definitely recommend over a norc or nea.
