See, damn good find. Just gotta search

 

Another major suggestion, since this seems to be your first AR @MadDaddy , I would suggest, if you have it or are willing to save up a little more, getting a factory 1/8 twist rifle. Here's the Grab A Gun link for the M&P15T with 1/8t im suggesting instead of the sport: http://grabagun.com/s-w-m-p15t-556nato-16-30rd-qd-rail.html?source=igodigital .
First off you get the 1/8 barrel, which means you're going to have a medium twist barrel. Being this is your first AR, you're more than likely going to run whatever ammo you find. Having the 1/8 gives you pretty good freedom to shoot almost any weight ~accurately~. The M&P sport your looking at comes with a 1/9 twist which is more directly suited for 62g, specifically M855. 1/9 is good up until about 70g when it goes a little wonky. 1/8 is best suited for up to 77g, which is highest I would ever go, if you want more stopping power, time to go 300blk or 458 lol but 1/8 is good to great even with 55g+. But even with different grains and different twists, sometimes it comes down to ammo quality and user accuracy.
Another great thing about the M&P15T vs the sport, besides the barrel, is the FF quad rail. Some don't like it, but it allows freedom to attach a grip or a light if you so choose. Though if you want more of an original A2 look, then the drop in handguard on the sport is the way to go. Just a suggestion.

 

...^^^... Good thread for info

 

Shop around locally too. AR's are dirt cheap right now so you could potentially pick up a used one for the same or less than the MP15's new. I stopped at the local craptastic gunshop near me a week or so ago and they had 3 or 4 AR's on consignment for actually good prices (for this store they were priced amazingly )

 

Has anyone ordered from Juggernaut Tactical? I'm in the middle of an AR10 build and I got an upper and lower from these guys. About a 2 month wait, no big deal. Well in the mean time I also ordered a color matched (sniper grey) handguard. Here is the problem. I ordered the handguard on 1-20-17 and still haven't received it. I've sent them numerous emails and they always reply but I have a complete rifle minus a handguard. I'm highly pissed. Any suggestions?

 

Wait another 6 months it's going to be a buyers market for AR's as Manufactures over built in 2016 on a false narrative in an election year.....

 

Shit last month at the Dulles Gun Show S&W M&P 15 were $479 Windham Weaponry $499 and many others all under $525...

Manufactures are sitting on an estimated 2.5 million AR's at the moment from Manufacture reps I have spoken with.... Colt being the largest holder at the moment...Sig setting in 2nd place then S&W....

 

This is what I think I'll do. My dad is anxious for me to get one- so much so that he's put up $150 to spur me on to buy one. Here's my dad's MP15. He paid $680 otd. with LEO discount two years ago, then put an additional $300-400 into it:

I'll keep an eye on Grab a Gun, Armslist, Gallery of Guns, and Kentucky Gun Co. for dropping prices as we near Summer. I'd feel great about a sub-$500 AR.

 

Just checking in, my TW profile had crashed for a week 1/2, and finally came back up. Hi y'all!

 

Waiting for AKs to come down.

 

Waiting for NY laws become void....

 

PSAs can be had for $520 every now and then. Down from $700 I think? If Putin plays nice I could see sanctions being loosened and proves dropping again. I remember WASRs being less than $300

 

Good luck with that one lol.

 

True, but it's all a maybe at this point.

 

It's anyone's guess. It wouldn't look good to loosen sanctions with Russia still stirring shit up in Ukraine but who knows. I'll just keep sticking ammo, mags, and lowers.

 

he'll figure it out sooner or later. You could save and get a RD AK, just a thought. https://rifledynamics.com/ Vegas FTW

 

that is ironic how it could work kinda because the laws in russia are well lets just say not in favor of the civilian firearm owner...

 

I hate how AK prices are still so high. A c39v2 costs $800 but a smith and Wesson mp15 cost $500 doesn't make sense.
