    Smith & Wesson M&P15 Sport

    Looking at getting one.
    Anyone have any first hand experience with one?
    The price is right, and this will be my first AR style rifle.

    I'm in the throes of picking out an M4-type carbine myself, and doing lots of research. I suggest you read up over on m4carbine.net to help make a wise choice. Lots of good info and comparisons.

    I have one, got it two months ago. So far only about 200 rounds thru it. 100% reliable so far. Nice and handy rifle, not as accurate as my Hbar, but since I am just playing with it and devloping loads the verdict is out on that.

    Do be aware that it is not a crome line bore, nor does it have a forward assits nor dust cover. But it is a good bargin and shows a lot of potential.

    Trigger pull is on the heavy side.

    I'm biased, I have a piston gun, but and I've said it before, you can build your own for alot less. (with a chrome lined barrel and fwd assist)

    I bought one on GB 6 months ago for the wife. Our first black gun. Cut off front sight post, put on pink furniture. Has functioned flawlessly with reloads and wolf throwaway ammo.
    I think I got it for $475.00
    Holds 1" @ 100yrds with reloads, havent needed a fwd assist yet. LOL

    I've been around 3 of them, they all work all the time. Good little guns. They are a 5 groove barrel no ejection port dust cover or forward assist. But I really don't need those things either. You can't build one like it for $500.00.
