Help me chose my AR tonight please

[mildcustom2]

I am trying to decide if I am going to buy a Imperial Defence AR or Smith and Wesson M&P15 tonight. The only concern I have so far is quality and if the parts are interchangable. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx

Is there any particular reason you have decided on those 2 brands. Do you have any specific needs such as barrel length, rails, etc

Play it safe and buy them both!!

I really want a 16" carbine. These are the two available to me right now from a dealer as i want to buy new. I do later want to put a quad rail on and optics for sure. The thing I like about the S&W M&P15 is its a heavy barrel and I like to target shoot. Just not sure if it has a rail under the handle to mount optics. The S&W I am looking at right now dosnt have a 6 position stock but I would want to put one on it.

Smith & Wesson

Smith & Wesson!
The M & P has a good reputation for being one of the better AR's on the market.

I wish I could but not right now.

Play it safe and buy them both!!

That would be great!

But S&W seems to have all the best reviews so far, is Imperial defense actually made in the UK?

 

[mrsmitty]

I would go with the M&P.

but you have an XCR, why do you need an AR?

but you have an XCR, why do you need an AR?

I dont own an XCR yet but it is on my wish list after an AR then I want a HK SL-8 too eventually. Guess its safe to say I want it all but need to be choosy.

Where is TDC when you need him..................... Oh wait............

 

[pierrody]

I have an M&P and am very happy with it. It looks/feels great and is super accurate out of the box.

 

[mildcustom2]

Well I bit the bullet and ordered a S&W M&P15. It has a fixed stock so I also ordered a RRA adjustable 6 position stock to go on it too. I cant wait to get it, next all I need is a nice set of optics for it. Next paycheque I guess. There just seems to be lot or controversy over the Imperial Defense AR's. Any company that makes firearms and I cant find thier web page to get info off of dosnt get my bussiness.

It's hard to say, they do not implicitly state that they manufacture firearms, only that they are in the arms trade, and that they procure firearms and equipment from "most manufacturers around the world". This suggests that they do not actually make the firearms they sell.

This brings to the question where their M4 patterned rifles come from. I have yet to see concrete proof that their rifles come from any individual country, but rumours have floated around that they source at least some of the products from Norinco.

Buy the CMMG gas-piston model from Questar.
Better choice.

In my opinion a collapseable stock is almost useless for most range activity

+1 on the smith and wesson with the target barrel.
