S&W M&P 15 Sport

[edgehill]

Matt,

I have the M&P15 Sport. That's the gun I was running that day at the picnic. Like you said, it doesn't have the forward assist and a dust cover, so if you plan to crawl around with it, you might want to reconsider. Otherwise, it will do fine.

I've run 5.56 green tips and cheap .223 out of it without a single misfire/malfunction. I have both PMags and mil-spec surplus mags and all of them work flawlessly. When I got mine, I remember seeing a review of it before by Nutnfancy and he called it the best gun for the price range and that you won't miss the assist or dust cover.

If you want to get together and shoot it, just holler.

Thanks Andy, I'm glad to hear you're pleased with it!

I guess at this point I just need to see how much he cash he wants to add and make sure I can live without a pony on the receiver

It has the "5R" bbl in 1/8. Friends I of mine rave about it, very accurate.

From what I've read it did have the 1/8 (which I'd be thrilled with) but newer ones now have 1/9. I don't yet know which one this has.

I will PM you.

I just bought one - paid $619 at my LGS. What sold me was that the range where I go has one in their rental counter that literally has thousands of rounds through it - and they claim it only gets cleaned about once a month.

Someone else mentioned the Nutnfancy review on YouTube. He'd got nothing but good to say about it. I'm not an AR guy (this is my first poodle shooter) but so far, I'm happy with the purchase.

Thanks, Lane - that's great to hear! I watched the TNP review along with others and in reality, I can't say that I've seen a bad report. I'm beginning to hope this comes together.
